Senior ASIC Verification Engineer, Low Power AI Subsystems
QualcommJob Title
Senior ASIC Verification Engineer, Low Power AI Subsystems
Role Summary
Contribute to verification of ultra-low-power ASIC subsystems for audio and on-device AI. Work within the low-power ASIC engineering team to develop verification plans, implement testbenches and close verification for pre- and post-silicon phases.
Lead debug activities, improve automation flows, and collaborate with design teams to ensure functional and power-domain correctness.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, implementation or related experience; aligns with a senior engineering role.
Responsibilities
Deliver verification across pre- and post-silicon stages:
- Contribute to core verification through simulation and lead complex debug efforts.
- Define and execute test plans; drive verification closure with design and verification teams.
- Create and maintain scalable, reusable testbenches, assertions, and functional coverage models.
- Implement and improve automation flows for verification development and execution.
- Provide technical supervision and mentorship to other engineers.
Requirements
Must-have:
- 3+ years ASIC design, verification, implementation, validation or related experience.
- Proficiency with Verilog/VHDL/SystemVerilog and ability to write synthesizable RTL.
- Experience with SystemVerilog testbenches (UVM) and/or SystemC for hardware verification.
- Solid understanding of ASIC/VLSI concepts and event-driven simulators.
- Working knowledge of C or C++.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with audio codecs/protocols, bus/interconnects (AHB, AXI), or CPU architectures (ARM).
- Familiarity with scripting and build tools: Perl, tcsh, Python, GNU Make.
- Experience with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field with 2+ years of relevant ASIC experience; OR Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field with 1+ year of relevant experience; OR PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.
