Responsibilities
- Define feature-level SSIT test strategies, testability requirements, acceptance criteria, entry and exit criteria, coverage targets, and risk-based priorities.
- Develop and maintain automated tests for operation and feature coverage, numerical accuracy, model-level correctness, and backend interface contracts.
- Validate functional correctness, latency, and memory on Snapdragon SoCs using hardware-in-the-loop infrastructure.
- Build Python/PyTest test suites and integrate SSIT gates into the Delegates CI pipeline.
- Use AI-assisted tooling and agentic workflows, including Claude Code and GitHub Copilot, for test generation, coverage analysis, and failure triage.
- Triage failures across ML frameworks, QNN runtime, and HTP hardware, isolate root causes, and drive resolution with development owners.
- Define SSIT-to-QA/SIT handoff criteria and provide test results, known issues, coverage gaps, and risk summaries.
- Maintain traceability between SSIT artifacts and QA/SIT plans through JIRA and feed relevant downstream defects back into SSIT coverage.
- Set SSIT quality strategy and test architecture for the Delegates portfolio, mentor engineers, and establish test coverage, triage, and handoff standards.
- Collaborate with CI, build, and release engineers to embed SSIT automation in delivery pipelines and expose readiness signals to Program Management.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field plus 4+ years of Software Engineering or related experience; or a master's degree plus 3+ years; or a PhD plus 2+ years.
- At least 2 years of work experience with a programming language such as C, C++, Java, or Python.
- Strong Python skills and hands-on experience building automated test frameworks using PyTest or an equivalent.
- C/C++ reading and debugging proficiency, including development and debugging of ORT unit tests.
- Experience with subsystem or integration testing in a hardware/software product development cycle.
- Experience integrating test automation into CI/CD platforms such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
- Experience validating ML inference frameworks such as ONNX Runtime, ExecuTorch, or TFLite/LiteRT.
- Hands-on experience with Qualcomm QNN, HTP/DSP, or Snapdragon SoC-based on-device validation.
- Familiarity with quantization correctness, operation-level numerical comparison, and tolerance analysis.
- Cross-platform test experience with Linux, Android, and Windows on ARM64 or x86.
- Experience with JIRA defect tracking and Agile/scrum development practices.
- Preferred experience includes a bachelor's degree with 8 years or a master's degree with 6 years in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
Benefits
- Annual discretionary bonus program and potential annual RSU grants are offered in addition to base pay.
- Competitive benefits package supporting employees at work, at home, and at play.
- Qualcomm provides reasonable disability accommodations during the application and hiring process.
About Qualcomm
Qualcomm is a public semiconductor company headquartered in San Diego, founded in 1985, that designs and sells wireless chipsets and platforms for mobile devices, automotive, IoT, and networking, notably the Snapdragon application processors and 5G modems. It also licenses a large portfolio of cellular patents to device makers, generating revenue alongside chip sales; its technology underpins many Android smartphones and emerging automotive and edge-compute systems, and it trades on NASDAQ as QCOM.
