Qualcomm has just notified the California Employment Development Department that it's eliminating 1,258 positions within the state, according to Bloomberg. That's around 2.5 percent of the company's entire workforce, which is approximately 50,000 strong, but the job cuts will only affect workers from Qualcomm's San Diego and Santa Clara, California offices. Based on Bloomberg's report, no position is safe: More than 750 of the affected employees will reportedly come from the chipmaker's engineering team, including director-level personnel. The remaining affected roles will come from across different departments and will include internal technical and accounting staff.
