    FIRST Alumni & Qualcomm Success Story

    Joy Cho

    FIRST Alum, Qualcomm Engineer & Former Qualcomm Intern

    Many FIRST alumni go on to build their careers at Qualcomm, like Joy Cho, who is an engineer for Qualcomm Technologies Product & Tools Stability division. Joy discovered her passion for electrical engineering in high school as a member of her school’s FIRST Robotics Competition team where she built her skills and confidence on the electrical sub-team, then went on to an internship at Qualcomm Technologies.

    Rami Mouro

    FIRST Alum, Senior Software Engineer @ Qualcomm & Former Qualcomm Intern

    “FIRST taught me how to think like an engineer—collaborate, iterate, and solve real problems. Interning at Qualcomm felt like an extension of that experience, and now as a full-time engineer, I see every day how those skills translate into impact.”
