Senior Video Design Verification Engineer
QualcommJob Title
Senior Video Design Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Work on video-related ASIC/SoC IP verification and validation within the ASICS Engineering group. The role focuses on defining, modeling, verifying, and documenting IP/SoC blocks to meet performance, power, and quality targets while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
Experience Level
Senior - typically 3+ years of ASIC design and verification experience; expected to work independently and influence technical decisions across teams.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include design verification, architecture collaboration, and delivery of technical documentation.
- Define, model, verify, validate, and document IP or SoC blocks for video-related designs.
- Create architecture descriptions, circuit/logic specifications, and system simulations from system-level requirements.
- Collaborate with software and hardware architecture teams to develop implementation strategies.
- Evaluate the design flow from RTL through synthesis, place-and-route, timing, power, and verification (or equivalent custom-design flows).
- Use and support EDA flows and tools (e.g., RTL-to-GDS, Virtuoso) in block or SoC integration.
- Produce detailed technical documentation for EDA/IP/ASIC projects and handoffs.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills, with preferred experience levels where noted. Education and formal degree requirements are listed separately below.
- Experience in ASIC design, verification, validation, or integration (practical hands-on experience required).
- Experience with architecture and design tools and methodologies.
- Proficiency with scripting and programming languages for verification automation and flows.
- Experience with design verification methods and testbench development.
- Familiarity with RTL-to-GDS flows and common EDA tools; experience with Virtuoso or similar tools is valued.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate across teams and document technical work.
- Nice-to-have: experience with video IP, Cadence toolset, C/C++ for verification environments, and system-level architecture work.
Education Requirements
Minimum: Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field (typically with 2+ years relevant experience), or a Master’s degree in Science/Engineering with 1+ year relevant experience, or a PhD in a related field. Preferred: Master’s in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science. (Degrees and field-of-study expectations are stated in the source posting.)
