About the role
Qualcomm's QCT Bangalore Wireless R&D Bluetooth HW team develops best-in-class chipsets for mobile phones, wearables and IoT, working on ASIC designs in the latest technology nodes. The role is a hardware design verification position covering the full VLSI verification cycle — testbench architecture, verification planning, test development and verification closure using simulation, emulation, GLS and formal techniques. The engineer will own IP/block/sub-system verification, analyze HW design specs, and collaborate with global Design, Systems, SoC, Validation and FW teams, including RTL debug during pre-silicon development.
What you will do
- This role will require the candidate to understand and work on all aspects of VLSI Verification cycle like Testbench architecture, Verification Planning, Testbench and Test development, Verification closure with best-in-class methodologies including simulation, emulation, GLS and Formal techniques.
- The role also requires deep understanding of the Bluetooth Hardware Architecture.
- Candidate will require close interactions with Global Design, Systems, SoC, Validation and FW teams for design convergence and required to work with minimal supervision.
- Candidate must be able to take ownership of IP/Block/Sub-System verification.
- Incumbent will be analyzing HW design spec and develop a verification test plan/strategy for it, breaking down the work for new features, perform feasibility studies, estimate effort and mitigate risk.
- The role also required the candidate to mentor new joiners and less experienced colleagues.
- The candidate will work with design team on RTL debug during Pre-silicon HW development phase.
