About the Role

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what is possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm ASIC Engineer, you will define, model, design (digital and/or analog), optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for a variety of high performance, high quality, low power world class products. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross‑functional groups to determine product execution path.

Responsibilities

Implementation of advanced DFT/DFD (design for test/design for debug) techniques for low power, high performance and highly integrated SoCs.
Deployment of DFT methodologies that reduce test cost, increase production quality and enhance yield learning.
Direct experience in silicon bring‑up, debug, and validation of DFT features on ATE.
Experience with formal verification tools such as LEC, Formality, etc.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.
ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
Strong fundamental knowledge of DFT/DFD techniques.
Understanding of core‑based test methodology and scan isolation.
Knowledge in fault modelling (Stuck‑at, Transition, Path Delay, Gate‑Exhaustive, IDDQ, and other advanced DFT models).
Knowledge in JTAG, MBIST, Scan Compression, ATPG, Fault Simulation and at‑speed testing.
Experience with industry ATPG tools such as Synopsys Tetramax, Cadence Encounter Test or Siemens TESSENT tools.
Experience with Synopsys DFTCompiler or Fusion Compiler scan insertion.
Experience in Logic Design, VHDL, Verilog RTL, verification, synthesis and static timing analysis.
Experience with industry simulation tools such as VCS, Modelsim, or others.
Working knowledge in TCL, Python or Perl.
Knowledge in LowPower designs, UPF and experience in low power check tools like Conformal Low Power.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
