Senior UX Designer - Digital Experience Team

Company:
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:
Engineering Services Group, Engineering Services Group > UX Designer

General Summary:
Transform Complexity Into Clarity at the Forefront of Innovation

As a Senior UX Designer on our Digital Experience Team, you'll be the driving force behind the user experience of qualcomm.com and key digital platforms that connect us with customers, partners, and developers worldwide. This isn't your typical corporate design role-it's a unique opportunity to shape how the world experiences one of technology's most influential companies.

Why This Role Is Different

You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and human experience, where Qualcomm's most advanced innovations meet the people who build the future with them. This role requires someone who can navigate both realms with confidence-speaking the language of engineers while championing user-centered design principles and visual excellence. Your designs will directly influence business decisions and shape the experiences that power the next generation of connected devices.

The Opportunity

At Qualcomm, you'll enjoy advantages rarely found together:

Unparalleled Cross-Functional Exposure: Work directly with product teams, engineers, and marketers across the entire organization-from 5G and AI to automotive and IoT. Every project expands your understanding of emerging technologies.

Fast-Paced, High-Impact Environment: Join a lean, agile team where your work ships quickly and makes an immediate difference. No endless approval chains-just smart collaboration and rapid iteration.

Unique Portfolio-Building Work: Design experiences that few designers ever touch-translating complex technologies like neural processing units, RF systems, and chipset architectures into compelling digital experiences for technical and non-technical audiences alike.

What You'll Create

Your primary focus will be simplifying the complex, serving highly technical audiences and enterprise decision-makers evaluating Qualcomm's diverse technology portfolio. While these are your core users, you'll also design for a remarkable spectrum: consumers exploring partner devices, developers building on our platforms, students learning about our innovations, and industry analysts following our market moves.

This breadth means constant learning and variety-no two months look the same. One week your designing data visualization tools for RF engineers; the next, you're crafting the product launch experience for our latest flagship chipset.

You'll bring a designer's eye to every pixel, ensuring qualcomm.com reflects the premium quality and innovation of our products. But more importantly, you'll grow your skills in ways few roles allow; gaining deep technical knowledge, business acumen, and cross-organizational leadership experience.

Responsibilities

• Own projects through their full lifecycle, from initial research and discovery through final UAT and launch
• Own the visual quality, polish, and consistency of qualcomm.com and enterprise-facing products, applying strong principles of layout, hierarchy, typography, and interaction design
• Apply AI and experimentation tools to test, optimize, and personalize digital experiences at scale
• Create UX artifacts including wireframes, prototypes, and interaction models that span multiple systems
• Translate complex enterprise workflows into intuitive self-service experiences
• Partner with research to synthesize insights into actionable design strategies
• Facilitate workshops, design sprints, and iterative critiques to align stakeholders around UX outcomes

This is an office based position located in San Diego, CA and is expected to comply with the company's onsite work policy. This is a U.S. based position and is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

• Ensure design consistency across the global ecosystem via the Qualcomm Design System
• Partner closely with engineering teams to understand technical constraints, framework capabilities, and implementation realities
• Advocate for accessibility guidelines and inclusive design practices

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's or higher degree in a relevant field such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, Product Design, Visual Communication, Graphic Design, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Experience & Skills:

• 10+ years of experience as a UX Designer, shipping high-impact products in close collaboration with engineers and designers
• Portfolio or work samples demonstrating end-to-end product work, strong visual design craft, and translating complex enterprise workflows into intuitive user experiences
• Business acumen: Prior work demonstrates an understanding of business value and product strategy, resulting in successful design outcomes and measurable impact
• Technical fluency: Demonstrate how technical constraints and opportunities have informed product decisions, and guide others in planning and structuring work accordingly
• Collaboration excellence: Proven track record of collaborating effectively with cross-functional partners to align teams around a shared vision and cohesive execution
• Communication mastery: Strong communication skills, including the ability to clearly articulate design rationale and influence decisions with senior stakeholders
• Technical literacy: Familiarity with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React) to effectively collaborate with engineering partners and understand technical constraints
• Expert proficiency in Figma (required)
• Comfortable working with Adobe Creative Suite and other prototyping tools

Ways To Stand Out

• Experience designing enterprise, developer-facing, or internal tools used at scale by technical users
• Experience designing in the semiconductor, telecommunications, or hardware technology space
• Experience contributing to or leading design systems, including establishing patterns, guidelines, and visual standards across products
• Experience building AI-powered or agent-based workflows, copilots, or intelligent systems that support decision-making or automation
• Background in or deep understanding of semiconductor, hardware, or developer platforms
• Experience designing public-facing corporate websites or marketing platforms at scale
