Principal Engineer - Verification, CI/CD Infrastructure & Embedded Hardware (AIS

Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Machine Learning Engineering General Summary: The Principal Engineer, Verification (CI/CD & Embedded HW) is a senior individual contributor responsible for designing, scaling, and hardening CI/CD infrastructure and verification systems that validate Qualcomm ’s AI Software stack—including QNN HTP, QAIRT, toolchains, kernels, and embedded runtime components. REMOTE based is possible for this role. This role is deeply technical and hands‑on: you will build large‑scale automated pipelines, integrate embedded hardware (DSP, NPU) test execution, drive target‑based regression infrastructure, and ensure efficient, reliable, and high‑signal validation at scale. You can apply past experience managing large CI/CD pipelines to quickly target issues that arise to a software and/or hardware level. New Position Key Responsibilities (IC‑Focused): CI/CD Infrastructure Architecture & Scaling Architect and scale large‑distributed CI/CD systems with high throughput and low flakiness. Design automated workflows: build, package, deploy, flash, run, log‑collection, triage, dashboarding. Develop scheduling/orchestration layers for thousands of HW‑based regression tests. Implement monitoring, telemetry, and automated mitigation for CI stability. Embedded Hardware Validation & Automation Develop embedded target test frameworks across DSP/NPU. Automate flashing, provisioning, power/reset, and new chips
