Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Drive performance analysis, optimization, and validation of AI workloads across NPU and GPU in complex SoC platforms. Identify system bottlenecks and collaborate with architecture and compiler teams to optimize latency and throughput for AI models.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field with 1-2 years of experience in hardware or software engineering. Must have a strong understanding of ML fundamentals, neural accelerators, and embedded software environments.
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 Systems Engineer, you will research, design, develop, simulate, and/or validate systems-level software, hardware, architecture, algorithms, and solutions that enables the development of cutting-edge technology. Qualcomm Systems Engineers collaborate across functional teams to meet and exceed system-level requirements and standards.
We are seeking a AI/ML Performance Engineer to drive performance analysis, optimization, and validation of AI workloads across Neural Processing Units (NPU),and GPUs in complex SoC platforms with a robust background in the field of deep learning (DL) to validate the performance of state-of-the-art low-level perception (LLP) as well as end-to-end AD models. The role focuses on AI/ML inference performance, latency, throughput, power efficiency, and system‑level integration, working closely with architecture, compiler, runtime, and framework teams. This position requires deep understanding of AI accelerator micro‑architecture, ML models, and end‑to‑end software stacks spanning drivers, runtimes, compilers, and frameworks.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills are required, and the candidate must be able to work effectively with various horizontal AI teams.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 1+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
Skills:
Analyze and optimize AI/ML workload performance on NSP, NPU, and GPU across single and multi‑accelerator systems.
Identify bottlenecks across compute, memory bandwidth/latency, NoC, DMA, SMMU, and scheduling.
Drive optimizations for latency‑critical inference, high‑throughput pipelines, and concurrent multi‑VM execution.
Perform roofline, utilization, and memory access pattern analysis using hardware counters.
Benchmark and optimize CNNs, Transformers, VLMs, and diffusion models for real‑world and customer use cases.
Optimize model execution using operator fusion, graph partitioning, quantization, mixed precision, tiling, and batching.
Collaborate with system software teams on drivers, runtimes, memory allocation, power, thermal, and QoS constraints.
Analyze performance under concurrent, virtualized, and safety‑critical or real‑time environments.
Build and use benchmarks, micro‑benchmarks, profilers, and regression tools to derive actionable insights.
Partner with architecture, compiler, SDK, and AI framework teams to influence HW/SW design and resolve performance escalations.
