ASIC Design Verification Engineer
QualcommJob Title
ASIC Design Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Join the ASICS Engineering team to support definition, modeling, design, verification, validation and documentation of IP blocks and SoCs for high-performance, low-power products. The role collaborates across functions to implement and verify ASIC designs.
Experience Level
Entry-level. Typically less than 2 years of professional experience. Preferred: ~6+ months exposure to architecture/design tools, scripting/programming, and design verification methods.
Responsibilities
Support ASIC IP/block development through hands-on verification and design tasks.
- Apply ASIC knowledge to assist modeling, design (digital/analog), verification, validation, implementation, and documentation of IP or SoC blocks.
- Help create architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and system simulations from system-level requirements.
- Collaborate with engineers to develop implementation strategies that meet system and customer requirements.
- Support evaluation of design flows from high-level design to synthesis, place-and-route, timing and power analysis, and verification; or support custom circuit/layout flows.
- Use tools such as RTL-to-GDS flows and Cadence Virtuoso (or equivalent EDA tools) to execute design and verification tasks.
- Produce technical documentation for EDA/IP/ASIC projects.
Requirements
Key capabilities and preferred skills. Degrees are listed separately under Education Requirements.
- Must-have: Basic understanding of digital and/or analog ASIC design and verification concepts.
- Must-have: Clear verbal and written communication skills and ability to write technical documentation.
- Must-have: Ability to plan, prioritize, and solve routine technical problems under supervision.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with architecture and design tools (6+ months preferred).
