QUALCOMM Incorporated Layoff — June 2026

Qualcomm filed WARN notices reporting planned layoffs affecting 104 local employees in San Diego, with the reductions reported on April 2 and April 15 and set to take effect May 26, 2026. The cuts are concentrated in IT, engineering and cybersecurity — eliminating about 50 positions in those areas — while smaller numbers are in management, marketing and customer service. Nearly half (48%) of the impacted roles are senior positions, including nine principal-level roles such as directors and one vice president. The layoffs affect staff at 11 San Diego facilities, including Qualcomm's headquarters; no plants will be closed. Company earnings showed revenue growth but profit decline year over year, and the notice follows prior headcount reductions tied to corporate strategy.

QUALCOMM Incorporated disclosed this layoff in an official WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice recorded by the CA state workforce agency on April 8, 2026. The notice covers 44 employees in Morehouse Drive San Diego, CA (San Diego County), with the layoff effective June 8, 2026.

The state lists each affected employee separately by work location, so this filing spans 3 CA communities: Morehouse Drive San Diego, Pacific Center Court San Diego, San Diego.

That is roughly 0.1% of the 49,000 people QUALCOMM Incorporated employs.
