Staff Software Engineer — SubSystem Integration Test (SSIT)

**Company:** ------------ Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. **Job Area:** ------------- Engineering Group, Engineering Group \> Machine Learning Engineering **General Summary:** As part of the AISW engineering team at Qualcomm, you will be the software system integration test (SSIT) engineer for the Delegates portfolio — ONNX Runtime (QNN Execution Provider), ExecuTorch (HTP/QNN backend), and TFLite / LiteRT. You will own subsystem\-level validation at the feature development stage — working side\-by\-side with software engineers to define test strategy early, build targeted test content, and ensure each feature is solid before it transitions to QA and System Integration Test (SIT). This is a shift\-left quality role: you are a co\-owner of feature quality from inception, not a downstream gatekeeper. **Minimum Qualifications:** * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 4\+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 3\+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 2\+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. **What You'll Do** ================== **Feature\-Level Test Strategy \& Planning** -------------------------------------------- * Partner with delegate engineers from feature inception to define testability requirements, acceptance criteria, and subsystem test plans covering ORT QNN\-EP, ExecuTorch HTP backend, and LiteRT delegate * Own SSIT test strategy per feature: scope, entry/exit criteria, coverage targets, and risk\-based prioritization — aligned with the development team before implementation begins * Embed in sprint planning, design revie
