About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field and at least 2 years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience; alternatively, a Master's degree in those fields and at least 1 year of related experience; or a PhD in those fields.
  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, including developing and maintaining verification environments and testbenches.
  • Experience applying constrained-random verification methodologies to achieve thorough functional coverage.
  • Exposure to formal verification, gate-level simulation, and power-aware UPF verification techniques.
  • Knowledge of SystemVerilog, UVM, Python, Perl, C/C++, and GNU Make.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to convey complex technical ideas clearly.
  • Ability to plan, prioritize, and manage multiple tasks effectively.
  • A self-motivated approach to problem solving and debugging.
  • Ability to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion.
  • Ability to learn quickly and adapt to evolving technologies and new challenges.
  • Ability to collaborate with peers and contribute to a team-oriented work environment.

Responsibilities

  • Review digital design specifications and devise verification plans for design functionality.
  • Understand design implementation and develop testbenches and test cases using SystemVerilog and UVM.
  • Debug and bring up simulations by identifying root causes.
  • Integrate analog behavioral models into verification environments to validate digital and analog mixed-signal designs and their interactions.
  • Collaborate with Design, Systems, Firmware, and Analog teams to resolve issues and achieve verification closure.
  • Facilitate bit-matching between RTL designs and MATLAB system models.
  • Integrate third-party VIPs for compliance testing of standard protocols such as Ethernet and PCIe.
  • Take an active role in post-silicon chip bring-up to help ensure a smooth transition to working silicon.
  • Develop forward-looking automation and solutions, and enhance verification methodologies, processes, and infrastructure to improve scalability, productivity, and maintainability.
  • Lead, plan, and coordinate tasks with team members as opportunities arise.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience verifying SerDes PHYs, DSPs, or analog mixed-signal designs is preferred but not required.
  • Knowledge of Ethernet and PCIe standards is desirable.

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.
