ASIC Design Verification Engineer
QualcommJob Title
ASIC Design Verification Engineer
Role Summary
The ASIC Design Verification Engineer will join Qualcomm's ASICs Engineering group to drive verification of digital power IPs across the full lifecycle from system concept through pre-silicon validation, tape-out and post-silicon support.
The role focuses on developing UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches, coverage and assertion models, applying formal techniques, and using power-aware verification (UPF) methods while improving verification automation and efficiency.
Experience Level
Mid-level — typically requires around 3+ years of hands-on design verification experience using UVM and assertion-based technologies.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Manage the verification lifecycle from concept through tape-out and provide post-silicon verification support and debug.
- Develop comprehensive pre-silicon test plans for digital power IPs and SoC subsystems.
- Design and implement testbenches using SystemVerilog and UVM; create coverage and assertion models.
- Apply formal verification techniques for property checking.
- Implement and validate power-aware verification methodologies (UPF).
- Automate verification processes and flows to improve efficiency and regression throughput.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience:
- At least 3 years of experience in design verification using UVM and assertion-based technologies.
- Experience verifying complex SoCs or SoC subsystems.
- Proficiency with SystemVerilog, UVM, assertions, C++ and Python.
- Familiarity with DDR, cache architectures and general SoC integration topics.
- Experience with memory verification VIPs and DDR PHY validation.
- Exposure to firmware/driver development and formal verification techniques.
Nice-to-have:
- Hands-on experience with power-aware UPF flows and advanced formal tooling.
- Experience automating verification environments and regression frameworks.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant experience; or a Master's degree with 1+ year of relevant experience; or a PhD in a related field. (Degrees and related technical fields were specified in the source.)
