edge-ai jobs in San Diego

Founding Product Engineer to build a greenfield physical AI product at Netradyne, working across full-stack infrastructure, product UX, and agentic AI features. You'll design multi-tenant cloud and edge systems on AWS with real-time dashboards, compliance analytics, and AI-powered agent orchestration for safety operations.…See more Expected to own end-to-end problems—from device to cloud to customer—with 7+ years of software engineering across backend (Go, Python, Java), cloud infrastructure (containers, CI/CD, distributed systems), and modern frontend (TypeScript/JavaScript). Direct customer collaboration and rapid iteration in the field required; fluency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Cursor) expected.

As a Senior Software Engineer focused on AI Tools, you will reauthor and optimize generative AI models (LLMs like Llama, Phi, Qwen, and multimodal models) for efficient execution on Qualcomm's on-device hardware. You'll translate hardware constraints into model-level transformations that preserve accuracy while enabling edge deployment, integrate inference acceleration techniques, and collaborate with compiler and quantization teams to move research prototypes into production.…See more The role requires deep implementation-level knowledge of generative AI architectures, strong Python proficiency in large typed codebases, and hands-on experience optimizing inference for resource-constrained environments.

As a Staff Product Data Manager for AI Platforms & Systems Solutions at Qualcomm, you will own the product strategy, definition, and lifecycle for AI platform products and specifications spanning model enablement, agentic systems, orchestration runtimes, and open protocols. You will develop comprehensive plans of record including schedules, budgets, and resources, directing products from conception through end of life while functioning as a central resource across systems, engineering, standards, quality, marketing, and partner teams.…See more The role requires deep fluency in the Windows edge-AI stack, with technical depth across AI/ML models, agentic systems, orchestration engines, standards development, and hands-on experience delivering Windows-based AI products leveraging local accelerators (CPU, GPU, NPU). You will translate emerging model, agentic, and orchestration trends into differentiated product and specification roadmaps.

Design, develop, and optimize embedded software stacks for complex SoCs with multiple core types, memory hierarchies, and bus infrastructure at Qualcomm. Lead architectural decisions for Edge AI and multimedia use cases, balancing performance and power efficiency while creating SDKs for customer development.…See more Collaborate with systems, hardware, and test engineers to define software architecture and drive optimization for ARM CPU and NPU acceleration. Requires 6+ years of software engineering experience (or 5+ with a Master's degree, 4+ with a PhD) and 3+ years with languages like C, C++, Java, or Python.

Qualcomm seeks a Staff Embedded Software Engineer (6+ years) to design, implement, and maintain real-time operating system (RTOS) software components across QuRT OS and Zephyr RTOS platforms deployed on Qualcomm SoCs. You will own complex system-level issues, lead feature design from requirements through deployment, perform deep root-cause analysis on crashes and traces, and collaborate across hardware, systems, validation, and software teams.…See more The role emphasizes technical leadership, ownership of large technical areas, and raising team quality through example while leveraging modern development tools and automation. Strong hands-on experience with RTOS concepts, C/C++, low-level system software, and embedded development is required.
