Manager
About the role
Qualcomm Incorporated in San Diego, CA is seeking a patent counsel to shape strategy and manage a global patent portfolio, aligning legal depth with Qualcomm’s technology leadership.
You will oversee outside counsel, draft responses, interview patent examiners, and perform infringement, clearance, and validity analyses, collaborating across jurisdictions.
This full-time onsite role demands a JD, bar admission, engineering background, and 2+ years in patent prep/prosecution or litigation.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
