Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

Push the boundaries on features and performance.

Qualcomm Technologies Audio products are designed to offer premium wireless connectivity, high levels of integration, immersive sound quality, and on-device AI for smart audio and context aware applications. An ultra-low power subsystem within a low power SoC; a chip-within-a-chip HW block incorporating multiple always-on IP's, design execution within this group requires solving ground-breaking challenges and multiple power domain crossing issues.

As we pioneer new and/or improved functionality, we innovate to minimize power consumption.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

You have experience leading projects and the full SOC process.

Verification tasks will include:

• Contribute to core verification during the pre/post silicon phase of next generation ASICs through simulation

• Project lead

• Drive test plan development, execution and verification closure in conjunction with the design and verification teams

• Contribute to creating/maintaining a test bench, assertions, and functional coverage models with scalability and reuse as key goals

• Contribute to implementing flows to automate development processes. Identify areas for improvement and drive them to completion

• Lead complex debug activities through the development cycle (pre and post-silicon)

• Provide technical supervision to other engineers and have the ability to lead by example

• Work closely with design to define verification methodology, Provide test plans and develop required tests.

Specific responsibilities will be a function of project and team needs and may vary over time.

Requirements:

• Min 5+ years ASIC design, verification, implementation or related work experience

• Project lead experience

• Full SOC experience and exposure

• Expert Verilog/VHDL RTL design languages and ability to write clean, readable, synthesizable RTL.

• Deep understanding of ASIC/VLSI concepts

• Expert hardware verification languages (HVL): SystemVerilog testbench (UVM), and/or SystemC,

• Expert hardware description languages (HDL): Verilog and/or SystemVerilog

• Good working experience with C (basic level or C++ sufficient)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge in one or more of the following disciplines is preferred: Audio (MP3, MIDI, etc.), Bus/interconnect (AHB, AXI), CPU (ARM v8/v7, Cache, MMU, security, etc.).

• Strong knowledge of digital circuits and event-driven simulators

• Knowledge of Perl, tcsh, Python and GNU Make is a strong asset

• Experience with automotive safety concepts and standards such as ISO26262
