ASIC Design Verification Engineer; Security Group

Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries to enable next generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Design Verification Hardware Engineer, you will plan, design, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, validate digital/analog designs and develop a comprehensive validation/verification testbench environment for projects that launch cutting-edge, world class products.

Qualcomm Hardware Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop solutions that meet performance, security, technology, and feature requirements.

As a Design Verification Engineer, you will work with Chip Architects to validate the concepts of core and sub-system level micro-architectures. You will work on a selected part of the subsystem Design Verification to ensure that it functions to the standards of being launch ready for the end Product.

• Work with subsystem and SOC Architects to understand the concepts and high-level system requirements.
• Develop detailed Test and Coverage plans based on the Architecture and Micro-architecture.
• Develop Verification Methodology, ensuring scalability and portability across environments.
• Develop Verification environment, including all the respective components such as Stimulus, Checkers, Monitors Assertions, and Cover points.
• Develop Verification Plans and Test benches for your functional domain.
• Execute Verification Plans, including Design Bring-up, DV environment Bring-up, Regressions enabling all features under your care, and Debug of the test failures.
• Track and report DV progress using a variety of metrics, including Bugs and Coverage.

• Deep knowledge of APB/AXI/SPI protocols, handshake mechanisms, cross-clock domains and clock gating.
• Solid understand of memory organization, fault-tolerant design, parity schemes, error detection and error correction schemes.
• Advance techniques such as:
  Formal, Assertions, and Silicon bring-up, is helpful.
• In-depth knowledge of Micro-processor functions, Network-on-Chip Architectures, and Micro-architectures.
• Experience in writing Testplans, portable Test benches, Transactors, and Assembly code.
• Experience with different Verification Methodologies and Tools such as Simulators, Coverage collection, Gate-level Simulation, Waveform viewers, and Mixed signal Verification.
• Ability to develop and work independently on a Block/Unit of the design.

Minimum Experience Level should be 2+ years in SOC-level or core-level verification with good understanding of debugging either ARM-based or RISC-V based processors, good understanding of APB/AHB/AXI protocols. Must have solid understanding of SV/UVM concepts. Prior experience in any cryptographic algorithm is preferred. Must have basic understand on UNIX commands and Python/Perl scripting
