Qualcomm San Diego, California, United States of America, United States 2 days ago
Embedded & Systems Software

$114,500 - $171,700 USD yearly

Originally posted 8 October 2026 by the employer.

Join our Core Enterprise AI team focused on Agentic AI.

About the role

This role involves designing, developing, and deploying AI systems powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), Agentic AI, Hybrid AI architectures, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and autonomous intelligent agents. The focus is on building enterprise-grade AI solutions capable of reasoning, planning, tool usage, workflow orchestration, and autonomous task execution.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement Agentic AI systems capable of autonomous reasoning, planning, tool usage, and multi-step execution.
  • Build and optimize RAG, Hybrid AI, and knowledge-grounded architectures that augment LLMs with enterprise data, external tools, and domain-specific context.
  • Develop and advance self-improving AI agents leveraging feedback loops, reflection, reinforcement learning techniques, automated evaluations, memory systems, and continuous learning frameworks.
  • Research, develop, and apply LLM post-training techniques, including supervised fine-tuning (SFT), preference optimization, reinforcement learning, distillation, and domain adaptation.
  • Create robust evaluation, benchmarking, observability, and safety frameworks for measuring agent quality, reliability, efficiency, and business impact.
  • Build and maintain multi-agent systems and orchestration frameworks that enable collaborative agent workflows and intelligent task automation.

What you'll need

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python.
  • Experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow).
  • Practical experience with LLM deployments and fine-tuning.
  • Experience with vector databases and embedding models.
  • Familiarity with modern AI/ML infrastructure and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Strong understanding of RAG architectures and implementation.

Nice to have

  • Experience with popular LLM frameworks (Langchain, LlamaIndex, Transformers).
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering and chain-of-thought techniques.
  • Experience with containerization and microservices architecture.
  • Background in Reinforcement Learning.
  • Contributions to open-source AI projects.
  • Experience with ML ops and model deployment pipelines.
