General information

Qualcomm is a semiconductor and technology company that makes chips for computing, AI, and wireless connectivity. Its Snapdragon platforms are processors used in phones, wearables, gaming devices, and cars. Qualcomm Dragonfly provides data center hardware for AI infrastructure. Windows on Snapdragon is a computing platform built for AI-enabled PCs. Qualcomm is based in San Diego, California.

Qualcomm was founded on July 1, 1985, by seven former employees of Linkabit, including Irwin Jacobs. It is a public company, traded on Nasdaq under the ticker QCOM. As of 2025, it had about 52,000 employees and annual revenue of $44.28 billion. A company that size means most jobs sit inside a large, established structure rather than a small team. Historically, the median salary is ~$248,400. Qualcomm is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.¹
