Join Qualcomm’s Windows Audio Software team as a senior software engineer to design and build next-generation on-device Voice AI capabilities for Windows-on-Snapdragon platforms, focusing on wake-on-voice, ASR, translation, transcription, and TTS features. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop robust solutions that leverage CPU/DSP/NPU capabilities while meeting strict latency and power targets. Responsibilities include gathering technical requirements, co-designing audio stack solutions, building components across user-mode and kernel-mode boundaries using UMDF/KMDF, optimizing performance, and validating complex multi-threaded issues. Ideal candidates have 3+ years of experience in Windows system software or related fields, proficiency in C/C++, strong Windows development skills with Visual Studio, and hands-on experience with KMDF/UMDF drivers. Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools, low-power audio architecture, and optimizing workloads across heterogeneous compute is preferred.
