In short

Qualcomm XR Research is seeking an experienced Engineer to Lead XR Perception Systems, focusing on SLAM, robotics, and computer vision. This role involves developing and evaluating advanced perception technologies for next-generation AR/VR/MR experiences, requiring strong analytical and problem-solving skills in a collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

  • Develop evaluation methodologies for SLAM, visual-inertial localization, and multi-sensor perception systems.
  • Analyze large-scale datasets to characterize algorithm performance, robustness, and failure modes.
  • Design quantitative metrics and KPIs for perception quality, tracking stability, drift, re-localization, and robustness.
  • Build scalable tools and automation frameworks for perception evaluation.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to diagnose perception failures and accelerate algorithm improvements.

Requirements

  • Strong foundation in mathematics (linear algebra, geometry, probability, optimization).
  • Strong proficiency in Python for automation, analysis, and tooling.
  • Solid understanding of SLAM algorithms and perception pipelines.
  • Strong knowledge of sensor calibration (camera, IMU, multi‑sensor systems).
  • Experience with large log analysis, offline processing, and metrics generation.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly.
  • Proven ability to work across teams and support stakeholder debugging needs.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field.

Desired Qualifications

  • Industry experience in perception systems, computer vision, robotics, or XR technologies.
  • M.Tech / MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field.
  • Experience with XR, AR/VR/MR, robotics, or autonomous systems.
  • Familiarity with tools such as GTSAM, Ceres, OpenCV, ROS, or similar libraries.
  • Experience with ground‑truth systems (motion capture, GNSS, fiducials).
  • Experience influencing validation strategy at a system or org level.

Benefits

  • Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer.
  • Qualcomm is committed to providing an accessible process for individuals with disabilities.
  • Qualcomm is committed to making our workplace accessible for individuals with disabilities.
