Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's or PhD degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field with 4+ years of experience.
• Strong understanding of GenAI and enterprise inference workloads, including LLMs, VLMs/LVMs, embeddings, diffusion models, RAG pipelines, agents, and multi-turn application patterns.
• Hands-on experience evaluating AI accelerator platforms and deployment ecosystems, including Qualcomm AI inference accelerators and competitive platforms such as NVIDIA and AMD.
• Experience with production inference frameworks and serving stacks such as vLLM, Triton Inference Server, TensorRT-LLM, SGLang, KServe, Ray Serve, TorchServe, or equivalent model-serving technologies.
• Deep understanding of inference performance fundamentals, including prefill/decode behavior, KV-cache utilization, batching, scheduling, quantization, memory bandwidth, latency, throughput, TTFT, TPOT, and scaling efficiency.
• Experience designing and executing fact-based competitive benchmarks across single-node and multi-node deployments using representative customer workloads, model configurations, and deployment patterns.
• Knowledge of distributed inference architectures, including tensor parallelism, pipeline parallelism, expert parallelism/MoE serving, disaggregated serving, routing, autoscaling, and cluster-level orchestration.
• Experience with containerized and cloud-native deployment workflows using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps, CI/CD, observability stacks, and infrastructure automation.
• Ability to assess ecosystem readiness, operational simplicity, tooling maturity, model onboarding complexity, reference architectures, observability, supportability, and deployment documentation quality.
• Background in compiler/runtime optimization, graph lowering, operator fusion, kernel optimization, or hardware-aware model optimization for ML workloads is a plus.
• Experience conducting technical competitive analysis across AI hardware platforms, frameworks, software ecosystems, deployment architectures, and customer workflows.
• Experience building customer-facing technical collateral, competitive positioning, deployment guides, benchmark reports, executive briefings, and gap analysis for AI infrastructure products.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with demonstrated ability to work across product, architecture, engineering, customer engineering, business development, and ecosystem partner teams in a matrixed organization.
  
  
  

Principal Duties And Responsibilities Will Include:

• End-to-end competitive analysis for Qualcomm AI inference accelerators across hardware, software, model-serving frameworks, deployment workflows, and customer-facing GenAI inference solutions.
• Evaluate real customer deployment patterns, including LLM/VLM serving, RAG, agentic workflows, embedding services, multi-model applications, and enterprise inference pipelines, to identify where Qualcomm leads, is at parity, or has gaps.
• Develop objective benchmark methodologies and execute performance studies covering latency, TTFT, TPOT, throughput, tokens/sec/user, concurrency, utilization, power efficiency, cost efficiency, and single-node and multi-node scaling.
• Compare Qualcomm solutions against competitive platforms such as NVIDIA and AMD across deployment maturity, model coverage, framework support, ecosystem readiness, operational simplicity, and total solution capability.
• Analyze inference architecture tradeoffs involving vLLM, Triton Inference Server, KServe, Ray Serve, Kubernetes, orchestration layers, KV-cache management, batching strategies, quantization, and distributed serving patterns.
• Drive model onboarding prioritization by studying competitive usage, customer demand, model popularity, framework adoption, and readiness gaps across open-source and enterprise GenAI workloads.
• Build and maintain reference architectures, deployment playbooks, sizing guidance, reproducible benchmark recipes, and customer-ready solution blueprints for Qualcomm AI inference platforms.
• Partner with architecture, compiler, runtime, framework, systems, and product teams to translate competitive findings into product requirements, roadmap priorities, optimization opportunities, and ecosystem investments.
• Perform system-level debugging and root-cause analysis across model, framework, runtime, driver, hardware, networking, memory, and orchestration layers to explain performance or deployment gaps.
• Create clear, fact-based competitive positioning, leadership readouts, technical reports, and customer-facing collateral that communicate differentiators, risks, gaps, and recommended actions.
• Collaborate with customer engineering, business development, sales, and partner teams to support customer evaluations, proof-of-concepts, competitive bakeoffs, and deployment activities.
• Stay current with the evolving AI inference ecosystem, including emerging models, serving frameworks, accelerator platforms, open-source projects, benchmarking practices, and enterprise deployment trends.
