Come join Qualcomms Chip Architecture team and help define the next-generation compute architecture for our system-on-chip (SoC) products! We have exciting technical positions available with a focus on understanding and trading off CPU, GPU, GPGPU, DSP, and HW accelerator.
The successful candidate will:
empower customers with a new class of powerful emerging workloads like augmented reality, plenoptics, realistic gaming physics, 3D, gesture tracking, etc.
conduct hands-on peformance, power, and/or thermal studies to help define our compute architecture plans;
deploy simulators, profilers, or even real hardware to provide quantitative justification for architectural directions;
effectively communicate experimental results, review with technical leads and peers, analyze oustanding issues;
creatively overcome obstacles to obtain the answers to architectural questions;
have the opportunity to invent and file patents on technical solutions to relevant problems;
collaborate within a rapidly growing and world-class computer architecture team!
This is a wonderful opportunity to influence Qualcomms technical direction, lead the industry, and impact the world!
