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

Looking for an experience Verification Architect/ Engineer, who will be responsible for verification of next generation Infrastructure IPs (DDRSS, Memory Controllers etc.) which goes into System‑on‑chip (SoC) for smartphones, tablets and other product categories. In this position you will be expected to plan and implement IP/Cluster/Formal verification flows for the Infra IPs. Also expected to coordinate with different Design and SOC teams throughout the IP development cycle.

Job responsibilities include:

• Ownership of DV test bench and other associated collaterals (Checkers, Trackers, Scoreboards, Assertion, Functional Coverage)
• Develop test plan and test cases to cover design feature set, follow up with stakeholders on code coverage, functional coverage closure at different levels of test bench
• Work closely with System Architects, Design, emulation teams on failure debugs, code/functional coverage closure
• Debug of regression signatures and identifying bug fixes
• Responsible for Quality sign off and required documentation
• Developing/Deploying scripts/tools for validation (Certitude, VC Formal, VPlan)
• Debug and root cause post silicon issues in collaboration with Design, SW and test teams
