About Riya Jain

I’m a design engineer at Qualcomm with a background in electronics, signal processing, and AI fundamentals. I’m deeply interested in how hardware and AI can converge to create impactful solutions in healthcare, particularly in wearable neurotechnology and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Over the past few years, I’ve worked on advanced hardware design and verification, while exploring how AI and machine learning are applied in healthcare, with a particular focus on mental health. Along the way, I\'ve also looked into the possibilities of how neurotechnology and biosignal processing can enhance well-being. I’m actively looking to connect with professionals in hardware engineering, AI, and healthcare technology to learn more about the skills, tools, and collaborations shaping the future of this space. If you work on cutting-edge health tech devices, AI-powered wearables, or neurotech research, I’d love to connect and exchange insights.

Experience

1. Application Specific Integrated Circuit Design Engineer
