ASICS Design Verification Engineer
QualcommJob Title
ASICS Design Verification Engineer
Role Summary
The role is responsible for pre-silicon verification through tape-out and post-silicon support for digital power IPs. The team covers verification planning, testbench development, coverage and assertion creation, formal verification, and automation to improve efficiency.
Experience Level
Entry-level - the posting requests a minimum of 1+ years of relevant ASIC design and verification experience.
Responsibilities
Core responsibilities include planning and executing verification activities and building verification infrastructure for digital IP blocks.
- Plan and execute pre-silicon verification for digital power IP across the verification lifecycle.
- Develop and maintain block-level testbenches and verification environments (SystemVerilog/UVM implied).
- Create functional coverage plans and assertion models; apply formal property checking.
- Implement power-aware verification flows (UPF) and validate low-power behavior.
- Develop automation and scripting to increase verification efficiency and repeatability.
- Provide post-silicon support and debug for silicon bring-up when needed.
Requirements
Required and preferred technical qualifications and skills.
Must-have:
- 1+ years of experience with ASIC design and verification tools, techniques, and methodology.
- Experience or coursework in digital design and RTL (SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL) and testbench development.
- Familiarity with verification methodologies such as UVM and assertion-based formal verification.
- Programming skills in C or C++ and understanding of object-oriented concepts.
- Scripting/automation experience using Perl or Python.
Nice-to-have:
- 2+ years of experience with ASIC design/verification and digital design concepts.
- Experience with AMBA bus protocols (AXI/AHB/APB).
- Experience specifically developing block-level environments using SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Experience with assertion-based formal verification.
Education Requirements
Minimum: Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field is required. Preferred: Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
