Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Data Science Engineer Jobs at Qualcomm Jobs
Align Your Degree to Qualcomm's Stack
Qualcomm's Data Science Engineer roles frequently require a graduate degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or statistics. Confirm your transcripts reflect coursework in machine learning, signal processing, or applied mathematics before applying, since these fields map directly to their specialty occupation filings.
Target Roles With AI and DSP Overlap
Qualcomm's data science openings in media and entertainment often sit at the intersection of AI inference and digital signal processing. Filtering for roles that mention on-device AI, Snapdragon, or multimedia pipelines increases your chances of landing a team that actively sponsors international candidates.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Verified Openings
Qualcomm posts Data Science Engineer roles across multiple channels, making it hard to identify which positions actively support visa sponsorship. Use Migrate Mate to browse verified openings filtered by visa type so you're only applying where H-1B or TN sponsorship is confirmed.
Clarify TN Eligibility for Canadian and Mexican Nationals
Canadian and Mexican nationals targeting Qualcomm data science roles may qualify for TN status under the computer systems analyst category, avoiding the H-1B lottery entirely. Verify the offered job title and duties align with DOL's TN classification before your offer letter is finalized.

Find Data Science Engineer at Qualcomm JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Qualcomm sponsor H-1B visas for Data Science Engineers?
Yes, Qualcomm sponsors H-1B visas for Data Science Engineers. The company participates in the annual H-1B cap lottery each spring and also supports cap-exempt filings in certain circumstances. If you're already on H-1B status with another employer, Qualcomm can file an H-1B transfer without waiting for a new cap season.
How do I apply for Data Science Engineer jobs at Qualcomm?
Applications go through Qualcomm's careers portal at qualcomm.com/careers. Search by role title and filter for positions in your target location. Tailoring your resume to highlight AI, machine learning, or signal processing experience is important since those skills align with how Qualcomm structures its data science teams. Migrate Mate also lists verified Qualcomm openings filtered by visa sponsorship type, which saves time if you're specifically seeking sponsored roles.
Which visa types does Qualcomm commonly use for Data Science Engineer roles?
Qualcomm sponsors H-1B and H-1B1 visas for most international Data Science Engineers, with H-1B being the primary path for candidates outside Chile and Singapore. F-1 OPT and STEM OPT extensions bridge the gap before H-1B approval. For permanent residency, Qualcomm files EB-2 and EB-3 petitions through the PERM labor certification process. TN status is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying job categories.
What qualifications and experience does Qualcomm expect for Data Science Engineer roles?
Most Data Science Engineer roles at Qualcomm require a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, statistics, or a related quantitative field. Hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks, data pipeline development, and model deployment is expected. Roles tied to Qualcomm's media and entertainment work often also value familiarity with on-device AI inference, multimedia compression, or real-time processing systems.
How do I understand the visa sponsorship process timeline at Qualcomm?
Once you receive an offer, Qualcomm's immigration team typically engages an outside counsel to begin the Labor Condition Application with DOL, which must be certified before the H-1B petition is filed with USCIS. Standard processing runs three to five months. Premium processing through USCIS reduces adjudication to 15 business days but adds cost. If PERM is in scope, budget an additional 12 to 18 months for that stage before I-140 filing.
