Just as there are many reasons for taking a career break — raising a family, caring for elders, addressing personal health issues, planning a second career, or simply taking a well-deserved break — there are many reasons for choosing to come back to work. But re-entering the workforce, as you may be discovering, isn’t always easy.

Finding a new job can be intimidating for anyone, but it can be particularly daunting for someone who’s been out of the workforce for a few years. The good news is that it’s never too late to re-enter the workforce. In fact, now couldn’t be a better time for a career comeback — and to be part of the Invention Age.

Qualcomm is a company of inventors that unlocked 5G, and with it an age of rapid acceleration in connectivity and new possibilities that will transform industries, create jobs, and enrich lives. And this is your opportunity to be part of it.

We’re looking for inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and cultures to transform 5G’s potential into world-changing technologies and products. Our Returnship Program works with qualified individuals to help them gain professional experience, as well as build their skill sets for a successful career.
