Each patent reflects careful analysis, focused prosecution, and a clear connection to Qualcomm’s technology and business strategy. Because Qualcomm inventors continue to push the boundaries of what is possible, Qualcomm patent attorneys must do the same: build patent portfolios designed to protect innovation, support licensing opportunities, and generate meaningful revenue that can be reinvested in R&D. This makes the Qualcomm Patent Department unique. We apply deep experience and care to develop high-quality, high-value patents that are meaningful to Qualcomm. We seek talented and motivated patent attorneys who can apply legal judgment, technical depth, and a collaborative mindset to build patents that are as robust and powerful as the products and technologies they protect. We are currently seeking patent attorneys with experience in semiconductor packaging, transistor design, low-power circuitry, and related technologies. Specific responsibilities include strategic portfolio management, managing outside counsel, drafting responses to official communications, and interviewing patent examiners. Our attorneys also perform infringement, clearance, patentability, and validity analyses, and collaborate with counsel across multiple jurisdictions to ensure compliance with local practices and laws. Additional responsibilities may include legal analysis of products, licenses, standards, contracts, and potential acquisitions or investments. Candidates must be capable of understanding complex technologies, responding to rapidly changing business plans, and identifying patent opportunities that matter. This is not a place to rest on prior accomplishments; it is a challenging environment for attorneys who want to expand their professional capabilities while working with similarly driven professionals in a world-class legal department. **This role requires full-time onsite work in San Diego, CA (5 days per week).** **Minimum Qualifications:*** Juris Doctorate degree.* 5+ years of relevant experience as counsel at a law firm or in-house.* Active state bar license to practice law.
