In short

Qualcomm Vietnam is looking for a Senior Design Verification Engineer to work on complex SoC, subsystem, and IP designs. Responsibilities include verification planning, testbench development, simulation, debug, and coverage closure. The role requires a Bachelor's degree and 3+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC/IP/FPGA verification with SystemVerilog/UVM.

Responsibilities

Translate product, architecture, and block specifications into verification plans, test scenarios, functional coverage, and signoff criteria.
Develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, sequences, drivers, monitors, scoreboards, reference models, assertions, checkers, and reusable verification components.
Create directed, constrained-random, assertion-based, and coverage-driven tests for various behaviors.
Verify RTL integration, interfaces, register programming, interrupts, clocks, resets, power-management behavior, interconnect, coherency, and subsystem connectivity.
Run and debug simulation, regression, lint, CDC, RDC, formal, emulation, FPGA, and gate-level verification flows.
Analyze failures and perform root-cause debug across RTL, testbench, configuration, collateral, tools, and environments.
Define, track, and close functional, code, assertion, toggle, and coverage metrics.
Collaborate with RTL, architecture, integration, and synthesis teams to review specifications and drive defect resolution.
Support emulation readiness, firmware bring-up, SoC integration testing, pre-silicon release, and post-silicon debug preparation.
Develop scripts and automation using Python, Perl, Tcl, Shell, or similar languages.
Document verification plans, test results, coverage status, known limitations, waivers, and release recommendations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
3+ years of relevant work experience in ASIC, SoC, IP, FPGA, or hardware design verification.
Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and verification environments such as UVM.
Experience with simulation, regression execution, waveform debug, and functional coverage analysis.
Understanding of digital design fundamentals, RTL, finite-state machines, protocols, clock/reset behavior, and SoC architecture.
Experience with scripting or automation using Python, Perl, Tcl, Shell, or similar languages.
Strong analytical, debugging, communication, and teamwork skills.
Minimum Qualifications: 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.

Desired Qualifications

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Experience verifying complex SoCs, subsystems, processors, interconnect, memory systems, peripherals, security, or low-power designs.
Knowledge of AMBA protocols including AXI, AHB, and APB; interrupts, DMA, coherency, register interfaces, and NoC/interconnect behavior.
Experience with formal verification, assertion-based verification, CDC/RDC analysis, emulation, FPGA prototyping, gate-level simulation, or power-intent verification.
Experience with coverage closure, verification signoff, test planning, release QA, and quality documentation.
Experience with internal or commercial EDA tools for simulation, lint, CDC/RDC, formal verification, emulation, and coverage analysis.
For Staff and Principal levels: demonstrated technical leadership, methodology ownership, mentoring, and successful SoC delivery.
