About the role
As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Hardware Engineer, you will plan, design, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, bring-up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/optical systems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems that launch cutting-edge, world class products. Qualcomm is hiring strong DV engineers to verify high performance and low power RISC V based CPUs, working closely with system architects, design, software and SoC teams.
What you will do
- Develop and execute verification plans for units and features of a CPU design
- Use simulation and formal verification methodologies to execute test plans, develop testbench components like checkers, assertions, stimulus generators.
- Work closely with system architects, design team, software teams and Soc team to validate system use cases.
- Work closely with emulation team to enable verification on emulators and FPGA platforms.
- Debug and triage failures in simulation, emulation and/or Silicon.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
- OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
- OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field.
- BE/BTech degree in CS/EE with 4+ years' experience.
- Implementation of assembly and C language tests for verifying CPU architecture.
- Experience in C/C++, scripting languages, HDLS like Verilog/System Verilog
