As a Senior Systems Engineer for Data Center AI at Qualcomm, you will research, develop, optimize, and validate AI/ML solutions that integrate Qualcomm's hardware accelerators with software and ecosystem to deliver high-performance inference in datacenter environments. You will design and deploy Gen AI and LLM applications, implement fine-tuning and distillation techniques, perform model benchmarking, and drive system-level architecture decisions. You will collaborate across functional teams to meet system-level requirements while staying current with advances in AI/ML models and hardware. Required skills include strong Python proficiency, expertise in ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), deep understanding of ML deployment and system performance profiling, and experience with parallel computing.

Design and optimize video analysis and quality assessment algorithms for next-generation video codec hardware accelerators (FPGA/ASIC). Implement C-models and firmware for advanced video encoding, collaborating across algorithm, architecture, software, and hardware teams. Apply machine learning techniques including deep learning frameworks and transformer architectures for ROI detection, content understanding, and feature extraction. Integrate algorithms into production VOD/live streaming workflows and validate impact through A/B testing and objective quality metrics (VMAF, PSNR, SSIM).

This intermediate-level role develops AI-enhanced decision systems for government sponsors, applying machine learning, large language models, and decision science to mission-critical problems. You will design, prototype, and evaluate AI solutions in cross-functional teams, lead R&D initiatives, and work hands-on with modern AI techniques including deep learning, reinforcement learning, generative AI, and multi-agent systems. The role requires 2+ years of hands-on ML experience (or 1 year with a Master's degree) and proficiency in Python and/or C++, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Design and optimize video analysis, quality assessment, and encoding algorithms for hardware-accelerated video codec solutions (FPGA/ASIC). Develop C-models and firmware for real-time video processing, implementing algorithms for ROI detection, content understanding, frame-level rate control, and objective quality metrics. Collaborate with infrastructure and platform teams to integrate algorithms into production VOD and live-streaming workflows, validate performance through A/B testing, and optimize end-to-end video quality. The role requires strong programming skills in C/C++ or Python, knowledge of video quality standards (VMAF, PSNR, SSIM), and ideally experience with deep learning frameworks, video codecs, or embedded real-time systems.

As a Sr. Staff Software Engineer on Qualcomm's AI Software team, you will design and develop the Qualcomm AI Runtime (QAIRT) SDK for IoT platforms, enabling efficient execution of deep neural networks, LLMs, and modern AI architectures. You will lead feature development, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate across cross-functional teams to deliver scalable AI software solutions. The role requires 8+ years of software development experience with strong C/C++ and Linux proficiency, hands-on technical leadership, and the ability to keep pace with rapid industry and academic advances in machine learning and software engineering.
