About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field is required; the minimum qualifications also specify a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Two to five years of experience in digital hardware verification or a related semiconductor engineering role, with equivalent experience considered when the candidate can demonstrate the required competencies and ability to perform the principal duties.
  • Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and object-oriented programming concepts.
  • Practical experience with the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
  • Understanding of standard digital verification methodologies, including verification planning, constrained-random testing, assertions, scoreboards, functional coverage, code coverage, and regression management.
  • Understanding of digital design fundamentals, synchronous logic, finite-state machines, pipelining, FIFOs, arbitration, clocking, and reset behavior.
  • Familiarity with simulation, waveform debugging, and common Register Transfer Level (RTL) verification flows.
  • Ability to analyze technical specifications and convert them into effective verification scenarios.
  • Strong analytical, debugging, communication, and teamwork skills.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain reusable verification environments for GPU and system-on-chip (SoC) hardware blocks.
  • Create verification plans, test scenarios, directed tests, constrained-random tests, and functional coverage models.
  • Develop and maintain SystemVerilog and UVM-based testbenches, including agents, drivers, monitors, sequencers, scoreboards, reference models, and functional coverage.
  • Verify control logic, datapaths, register interfaces, FIFOs, pipelines, arbiters, and data-movement functions.
  • Verify interfaces and protocol behavior, including Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) AXI and AHB where applicable.
  • Develop assertions and checks to identify design and protocol violations early.
  • Run simulations and regressions, analyze failures, and debug issues to root cause.
  • Collaborate with RTL designers to reproduce, isolate, and resolve functional issues.
  • Track verification progress and contribute to coverage analysis and closure activities.
  • Review specifications, RTL, test plans, and verification results for completeness and quality.
  • Support continuous improvement of verification methodologies, infrastructure, and automation.
  • Document testbench architecture, test scenarios, debug findings, and verification status.

Desired Qualifications

  • Prior work or academic/project experience involving CPU or GPU designs.
  • Experience with memory controller designs or memory-subsystem verification.
  • Experience with direct memory access (DMA) engines, data-movement architectures, or high-throughput interfaces.
  • Knowledge of AMBA protocols, particularly AXI and AHB.
  • Experience developing SystemVerilog Assertions and protocol checkers.
  • Familiarity with C/C++, Python, Perl, or Tcl for test generation, automation, and analysis.
  • Understanding of formal verification, emulation, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) prototyping, or silicon validation.
  • Exposure to industry-standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools for simulation, coverage, verification planning, and regression management.

About the Company

Qualcomm

Designs mobile chips and licenses wireless patents

Qualcomm designs the Snapdragon processors and modems inside many Android phones, and it licenses its wireless patents to device makers around the world. It helped commercialize CDMA, the cellular technology behind 3G networks, and its patents cover core parts of the 4G and 5G standards that phones use to connect. The company does not run its own chip factories; contract foundries make its chips, which it sells to makers of phones, PCs, cars, and connected devices. Device makers also pay Qualcomm royalties for using its patented technology, which forms a second business alongside chip sales. Qualcomm was founded in 1985 and is based in San Diego, California.
