Modem Hardware Design Verification Engineer – AI Driven Gen Modem Hardware Development

Modem Hardware Design Verification Engineer

Qualcomm is the world's largest fabless semiconductor company and a global leader in wireless innovation—powering the majority of 3G, 4G, and 5G devices while pioneering the future 6G era. Our hardware engineering teams build industry‑leading modem and RF transceiver solutions enabling the next generation of wireless technology.

We are seeking a highly skilled Modem Hardware Design Verification Engineer to join our advanced verification organization, focused on AI‑driven verification methodologies and next‑generation modem hardware development. This role blends traditional DV expertise with cutting‑edge GenAI, ML‑assisted flows, and agentic-AI automation frameworks to accelerate coverage closure, improve debug efficiency, and enhance overall verification throughput.

As a Wireless DV Engineer, you will define and execute verification plans, build reusable verification environments, and apply advanced verification techniques to validate complex wireless baseband and subsystem designs. You will collaborate closely with system, firmware, and RTL design teams to ensure first‑time‑right silicon for high‑performance modem products.

Preferred Qualifications:

• BS or MS degree and 5+ years of relevant industry experience
• Strong expertise in verification planning, testbench architecture, assertions, debugging, and problem solving
• Hands‑on constrained‑random verification using System Verilog with UVM/OVM, including functional/code/assertion coverage
• Solid understanding of Verilog/VHDL, C/C++, SystemC, and scripting (Python/Perl)
• Experience with Generative AI, ML, or agentic-AI‑based verification automation, AI‑guided test generation, or ML‑based regression optimization
• Background in wireless/wireline modem technology, DSP, or communication systems
• Knowledge of 4G/5G 3
  
  GPP physical layer standards is a strong plus
• Experience with simulation acceleration, formal verification, and HW/SW co‑verification
• Strong OOP programming skills and/or RTL design exposure
• Proficiency with Unix/Linux shell scripting, Perl, Makefiles, XML, and verification automation frameworks
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and critical‑thinking skills

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. ORMaster's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. ORPhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
