## Description

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what\'s possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Machine Learning Engineer, you will create and implement machine learning techniques, frameworks, and tools that enable the efficient discovery and utilization of state-of-the-art machine learning solutions over a broad set of technology verticals or designs. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance the world of mobile, edge, auto, and IOT products through machine learning hardware and software., Build & maintain machine learning compiler technologies that turn AI models (from PyTorch or ONNX) into efficient code that runs on

device chips (CPU, GPU, and NPU processors).

 - Contribute to AI hub compiler, ONNX Runtime QNN ?doing graph optimization, partitioning, and making sure models work correctly across

backends.

 - Build debugging tools to spot and fix failures, accuracy loss, or slowdowns, with clear diagnostics for other developers.

 - Solve open-ended problems independently while mentoring teammates and giving technical guidance.

 - Explain complex compiler ideas clearly to chip engineers, business partners, and outside developers., Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer.
