In short

Qualcomm is seeking experienced Design Verification engineers to work on high-performance, low-power CPUs. The role involves comprehensive verification of power management features using simulation and formal methods, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and debugging failures across various platforms. Candidates should have a strong understanding of CPU architectures and power management techniques.

Responsibilities

Responsible for power management verification includes Boot, Reset, clock gating, power gating, Voltage/frequency management, limit management and throttling.
Work closely with design/verification teams within CPU to develop comprehensive test plan.
Use simulation and formal verification methodologies to execute test plans. Write checkers, assertions and develop stimulus.
Verify power intent through use of methodologies like UPF.
Work closely with system architects, 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.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
BE/BTech degree in CS/EE with 4+ years’ experience.
Experience in power management verification.
Implementation of assembly and C language embedded firmware.
Experience in C/C++, scripting languages, Verilog/system Verilog.
Strong understanding of power management features in CPUs and CPU based Socs.
Experience in verification of power management features such as clock gating, power gating, UPF, DVFS/DCVS, reliability, throttling etc.

Desired Qualifications
