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.

As Principal Software Engineer for AI & Data Platform, you will architect the data foundation for scientific and engineering R&D platforms, designing scalable data processing patterns, ML training pipelines, and intelligent workflow interfaces. You will own end-to-end responsibilities including data modeling for multi-use analytics and ML, building production training and fine-tuning pipelines, model evaluation and benchmarking, and setting engineering standards for the team. The role requires 10+ years shipping production software, expert-level Python, deep experience with large-scale data systems (object storage, analytical processing, training formats), hands-on ML pipeline development, and the ability to set technical direction in early-stage environments while implementing it yourself.
