In short
Qualcomm is looking for a Senior Staff SoC Design Verification Engineer in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. This role involves planning, developing, and executing verification strategies for complex SoC designs, collaborating with global teams, and ensuring pre-silicon readiness. The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree and 3+ years of experience with SystemVerilog and 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 including functional, corner-case, error, reset, power-state, security, performance, and low-power.
- 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; identify verification gaps and improve stimulus quality.
- Collaborate with RTL, architecture, integration, and synthesis teams to review specifications, identify design issues early, 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 to improve regression, debug, reporting, and verification productivity.
- 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.
- For Staff and Principal levels: demonstrated technical leadership, methodology ownership, mentoring, and successful SoC delivery.
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.
Benefits
- Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer.
- Qualcomm is committed to providing an accessible process for individuals with disabilities.
- Qualcomm is committed to making our workplace accessible for individuals with disabilities.
- Reasonable accommodations will be provided to support individuals with disabilities to participate in the hiring process.
