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

Looking for an experience Verification Staff/Architect Engineer, who will be responsible 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 stake holders 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 

·               Work with SoC level performance modeling team on latency, bandwidth analysis 

Required skillset include 

·               Strong debugging, Analytical and problem-solving skills 

·               Expertise on UVM based verification  

·               Knowledgeable about ARM bus protocols, Virtual Memory concepts, SoC system architecture 

·               Experience in developing Monitors, Scoreboards, Sequencers that utilize scripts, System Verilog, UVM, and methodologies to increase the rate with which bugs are found and resolved 

·               Communication and collaboration skills to work with a large world-wide design organization 

Desired skillset includes 

·               Experience in designs optimized for low power - Dynamic clock gating, Logic/ Memory power collapse  

·               Experience in verifying designs meeting Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) 

·               Proficiency in Scripting languages (Python or Perl) for Automation initiatives, C/C++/SystemC for performance models 

·         Post-si bring-up and HW-SW debug experience would be a plus. Knowledge & exposure to silicon debug tool chains would be an added advantage 

Qualification : 

·         Bachelor/Master’s Degree in Electronics & Communication / Micro Electronics 

·        12+ Years of Experience in IP verification or related

·         Experience with UVM and ARM Bus protocols.
