Senior Security HW Design Verification Engineer
QualcommJob Title
Senior Security HW Design Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Join Qualcomm Ireland’s Security team to lead verification of Security IP for Snapdragon SoCs. The role focuses on verification of security subsystems including cryptographic accelerators, key management and system integration with CPUs and NoCs.
Work with cross-functional teams (architecture, software, SoC design, security testing) to deliver secure, certified hardware blocks used in mobile and compute products.
Experience Level
Senior. Minimum experience guidance in the posting: at least 2 years of ASIC design/verification/validation/integration experience (or 1+ year with a Master's; PhD considered). Applications with equivalent experience will be considered.
Responsibilities
Primary verification and integration responsibilities for security IP and related SoC subsystems.
- Develop and execute verification plans for security IP and SoC-level subsystems.
- Design and implement unit and SoC-level testbenches using VMM/OVM/UVM.
- Implement and run Gate Level Simulation (GLS) flows for SoC verification.
- Integrate and validate security blocks with CPUs, NoCs, cryptographic accelerators and key-management components.
- Work with architecture, software and security testing teams to close verification and security requirements.
- Debug, triage and resolve RTL, integration and silicon issues.
- Develop verification infrastructure and automate verification tasks.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less-experienced engineers.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience. Education requirements are summarized separately below.
- Minimum 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation or integration experience (or 1+ year with a relevant Master's; PhD also accepted).
- Proven experience verifying complex SoC units and using SoC verification methodologies and industry-standard tools.
- Proficient in developing unit and SoC-level testbenches with VMM/OVM/UVM.
- Experience with Gate Level Simulation (GLS) verification flows for SoC verification.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work across geographically distributed teams.
- Nice-to-have: experience with security hardware, cryptographic algorithms and security implementation techniques; familiarity with certified security standards (e.g. AVA_VAN.5, EAL5+); experience with CPUs, NoCs, crypto accelerators and key management.
Education Requirements
Posting requests a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Science, Engineering, or a related field. Equivalency language is included: candidates with equivalent practical experience will be considered. Specific minimums in the posting: Bachelor's +2 years experience, Master's +1 year experience; PhD also acceptable.
