• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.

• Position for 12+ years of experience in design verification of complex Qualcomm proprietary DSP/NPU IP.
• DSP team is responsible for delivering high-performance DSP/NPU cores which are at the heart of Qualcomm’s multi‑tier SoC roadmap targeted for mobile space, AI, Automotive and more.
• Qualcomm is one of the largest fabless semiconductor design companies in the world, generating over $35 Billion in annual revenues from chipsets and royalties from intellectual property.

• Drive design verification of DSP IP by working with a global DSP design team involving architecture, implementation, power, post silicon and back‑end teams.
• Implement and improve System Verilog/UVM Testbench Architecture.
• Develop and deploy new verification methodologies, automation to continuously improve quality and efficiency.
• Develop design corresponding test plans, architect and develop verification environments, and meet coverage goals.
• Hands‑on simulations and ability to debug not only IP level, but Subsystem and SoC level fails and bugs.
• Complete all required verification activities at IP level and ensure high quality commercial success of our products.
• Assertions, simulation, formal verification (static property checking), HW‑SW co‑verification, constraint/HVL‑based verification, simulation acceleration, emulation are all tools you will use on a daily basis.
• Responsible gate level simulation bring‑up, gate level verification with timing simulations.
• Responsible for power aware RTL verification and gate level simulation.

• 12+ years experience in processor/ASIC design verification.
• Solid background and understanding of Digital Design, Processor Architecture, Processor Verification and Power aware verification.
• Expertise in System Verilog Testbench Architecture and implementation.
• Experience in writing C based and assembly level testcases is preferred.
• Exposure to power aware implementation and verification using UPF is a plus.
• Experience with advanced verification techniques such as formal and assertions is a plus.
• Gate‑Level Simulation and Debug — 0‑delay, timing annotated and power aware.
• Experience in System Verilog/UVM, and with simulators from Synopsys/Mentor/Cadence.
• Scripting/Automation Skills — Perl, Python, Shell, Make file TCI.
• Solid analytical and debugging skills, strong knowledge of digital design and good understanding of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.
• Experience in Hardware verification languages (HVL) such as System Verilog testbench (OVM/UVM) and System
  
  C and Hardware description languages (HDL) such as Verilog, System Verilog is preferred.
• Experience in verification of Processor subsystems is preferred.
• Experience in creating validation suite and building automation.
• Should have excellent inter‑personal and communication skills.
