General Summary

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Hardware Engineer, you will plan, design, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, bring‑up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/optical systems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems that launch cutting‑edge, world‑class products. Qualcomm Hardware Engineers collaborate with cross‑functional teams to develop solutions and meet performance requirements.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.

Join Qualcomm's design verification team in verifying the high-speed mixed-signal IP designs (PLL, DAC, ADC, Sensors, PCIe, USB, MIPI, CXL, C2C, D2D, DDR, etc.) for exciting products targeted for 5G, AI/ML, compute, IOT, and automotive applications. The team is responsible for the complete design verification lifecycle, from system-level concept to tape out and post-silicon support.

Responsibilities

• Define pre-silicon and post-silicon testplans based on design specs and using applicable standards working closely with design team.
• Architect and develop the testbench using advanced verification methodology such as SystemVerilog/UVM, Functional Verification, UPF / Low power verification, Formal verification and Gate level simulation to ensure high design quality.
• Author assertions in SVA, develop testcases, coverage models, debug and ensure coverage closure.
• Work with digital design, analog circuit design, modeling, controller/subsystem, & SoC integration teams to complete the successful PHY level verification, integration into subsystem and SoC, and post-silicon validation.

Minimum Qualifications (Verification)

• Master's/Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years ASIC design verification, Pre Silicon Verification or related work experience.
• Knowledge of a HVL methodology like SystemVerilog/UVM.
• Experience working with various ASIC simulation/formal tools such as VCS, Xcellium/NCsim, Modelsim/Questa, VCFormal, Jaspergold, 0In and others.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Pre Silicon Verification, Low power design verification, Formal verification and Gate level simulation at IP/SS level.
• Experience in scripting languages (Python, or Perl).
• Experience with mixed-signal IP design verification, such as USB, PCIe, CXL, C2C, D2D, MIPI, UFS, DDR, PLL, Data Convertors (DAC, ADC), or sensors will be an added advantage.
