qairt jobs in San Diego

You will develop and implement machine learning techniques for Qualcomm's AI Software Platform, focusing on the QAIRT SDK and Genie generative AI inference extensions. Responsibilities include building in-house software tools and evaluating third-party AI toolchains/compilers, performing system-level performance and memory profiling across multiple OS platforms (Android, Linux, QNX, Windows, Zephyr), validating ML model accuracy, and debugging complex issues.…See more You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams on AI software toolchains and contribute to an embedded AI stack supporting edge-AI use cases on Snapdragon SoCs.

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.
