Staff Machine Learning Engineer – On-Device AI/ML

Company:

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Machine Learning Engineering

General Summary:

Qualcomm AI Hub is the platform for on-device AI — enabling developers to easily integrate, optimize, profile, and deploy ML models on Qualcomm devices. Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench lets developers compile trained PyTorch or ONNX models into deployable artifacts targeting a variety of runtimes — Lite RT, ONNX Runtime (ORT), or Qualcomm AI Engine Direct SDK (QAIRT) — and profile and validate them on real Qualcomm devices hosted in the cloud.

Join the Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench Cloud Services team and work on the infrastructure that drives on-device AI! Workbench uses real devices in the cloud to enable customers to profile and validate ML models. You will work on the integration of Lite RT, ORT and QAIRT with Qualcomm devices spanning Android, Linux, and Windows, with dispatch to CPU, GPU and NPU. Opportunities abound on this very senior team which operates a one-of-a-kind cloud service.
