On the Job
“I’m a hardware engineer in QCT’s Processor Solutions group. I’m currently working on the instructions for a new processor core. I really like that I am constantly challenged and always learning new and exciting concepts.”
A Unique Company
“The work environment at Qualcomm is open and flexible. Employees are encouraged and challenged, and the tools we need are always at our disposal. Qualcomm provides opportunities for teambuilding activities and makes sure that employees strike a balance between work and getting involved in community events.”
Corporate Values: Innovate, Execute, Partner
“Innovate is the Qualcomm value I identify with the most. Employees here are encouraged to find original solutions to problems, with a focus on improving the consumer experience.”
Wireless Technologies Make a Difference
“The impact of wireless technology can be felt all around us. Whether they’re using cell phones or other handheld devices, people are increasingly mobile and expecting more information at their fingertips with a higher quality of service.”
Learning and Development
“The learning and development culture at Qualcomm is very rich and informative. I always feel that there is plenty of information ready and available and we are always informed about the numerous resources available, so that anytime I have questions, I know where to look for answers.”
A Natural Fit for my School’s Alumni
“Many professors at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have research relationships with local companies which translates into more relevant course material and a practical teaching approach. As an NCSU alumni, I was able to put the skills that I acquired at school to work on innovative and exciting applications at Qualcomm. There are numerous fields at Qualcomm that might be of interest to NCSU alumni with an electrical or computer engineering background, and there are many opportunities here to learn and contribute. Qualcomm encourages continuing education because this helps an employee get a richer technical background, and that translates into more innovation and experience at work.”
