Design Verification Engineer - Haifa

Job Title

Design Verification Engineer - Haifa

Role Summary

Join the VLSI verification team in the Wired Connectivity group to perform pre-silicon verification of high-speed connectivity IP for Qualcomm SoCs. The role focuses on validating advanced connectivity protocols with emphasis on low power and high performance.

Work includes building verification environments, creating system-level tests, debugging RTL and testbench issues, and driving verification closure toward silicon signoff.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Junior - suitable for early-career engineers. Indicative experience: 0–3 years; candidates with equivalent practical experience considered.

Responsibilities

Primary pre-silicon verification responsibilities include:

• Develop and execute verification plans for complex connectivity IP.
• Build, enhance, and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments.
• Create directed, constrained-random, stress, performance, power, and system-level test scenarios.
• Develop assertions, functional coverage models, checkers, scoreboards, and signoff metrics.
• Debug RTL, testbench, and silicon bring-up issues using logs, waveforms, traces, and hardware debug data.
• Drive coverage closure, regression health, bug tracking, and verification signoff using functional, code, assertion, and scenario coverage metrics.

Requirements

Must-have skills and preferred background:

• Must-have: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities; proven aptitude for learning new technologies quickly; good communication and collaboration skills; able to work independently and as part of a team.
• Nice-to-have: Knowledge of Verilog/SystemVerilog and verification methodologies (UVM).
• Nice-to-have: Experience in verification (testbench development, regression frameworks) and a strong programming background.

Education Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (posting specifies GPA of 85+). The posting also lists a Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent practical experience will be considered.
