TL;DR · Careers

Join Qualcomm XR Labs in San Diego as a senior engineer on our perception team, focusing on developing low-power SoCs for smartglasses and XR devices. You will lead the design and optimization of multimodal deep-learning systems that integrate audio, video, user interaction, and personalization to deliver real-time, interactive experiences with minimal power consumption. Your daily tasks include understanding state-of-the-art algorithms, prototyping on desktops, and migrating models to Qualcomm SoCs while collaborating closely with hardware teams and stakeholders to ensure optimal system architectures. Ideal candidates have hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow, strong coding skills in Python and C++, and expertise in multimodal machine learning systems for embedded platforms. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology that will power future generations of smart glasses and AR/VR devices.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize multimodal deep learning systems for smartglasses and XR devices.
  • Prototype state-of-the-art algorithms on desktops and migrate them to Qualcomm SoCs.
  • Drive multi-modal network architectures to minimize power consumption in embedded platforms.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure optimal low-power features in hardware designs.
  • Develop and deploy deep learning models using PyTorch or TensorFlow for production.

What we're looking for

  • Deep understanding of computer vision and machine learning algorithms for real-time interactive systems.
  • Hands-on experience with multimodal deep-learning methods including data curation, training, deployment, and optimization.
  • Strong coding skills in Python and C++ for production and on-device implementation.
  • Experience in optimizing deep learning models (PyTorch/TensorFlow) for low-power embedded platforms.
  • Technical leadership in designing and prototyping systems for smartglasses and XR devices.
  • Understanding of concurrency constraints to drive multi-modal network architectures for minimal power consumption.
  • Communication skills to work with stakeholders, customers, tech teams, and HW design teams.
