Qualcomm, which makes chips for smartphones, said it will lay off 226 workers in San Diego later this year, according to a California WARN notice published this week. The layoffs, which were first reported by The San Diego Union-Tribune, will take effect the week of November 12.
The layoffs affect employees at 16 facilities across San Diego, including the company's headquarters, which has a cybersecurity presence. It's unclear if the cybersecurity team is affected, and a Qualcomm spokesperson declined to say when asked by TechCrunch.
