Qualcomm . Company Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering General Summary
We’re seeking a skilled Software Developer to design and build generalized AI-driven solutions, such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems and Agent orchestration frameworks, that harness our AI accelerator chips. You’ll work with Rust and Python to develop robust, scalable applications, leveraging your expertise in AI, large language models (LLMs), neural networks, and databases. This role requires a strong background in AI application development and a passion for staying current with the latest advancements in the AI landscape. Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor\'s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master\'s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 5+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. 3+ years of work experience with programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc. Key Responsibilities
Design and develop generalized AI solutions, including RAG systems, to enhance user capabilities with our AI accelerators. Build high-performance, scalable applications using Rust for systems-level efficiency and Python for rapid prototyping and integration. Integrate and optimize large language models (LLMs) and neural network architectures into production-ready software. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and implement AI-driven features. Work with databases (e.g., SQL, NoSQL) to manage and retrieve data efficiently for AI applications like RAG. Stay informed on the latest trends in AI, LLMs, neural networks, and related technologies to drive innovation. Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code adhering to best practices.
