Senior Design Verification Engineer - QGOV

Qualcomm • San Diego, CA

67d • $115,600 - $173,400 • Remote

About The Position

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is seeking a candidate for a role in the Engineering Group, specifically within ASICS Engineering. The position requires familiarity with RTL design in Verilog and System Verilog, and involves developing verification methodologies to ensure a scalable and portable environment across simulation and emulation. The candidate will be responsible for creating test plans to verify hardware building blocks, design macros, and standard interfaces such as PCIE, DDR, USB, I2C, and SPI. The role includes owning end-to-end design verification tasks, from coding test benches and test cases to writing assertions, running simulations, and achieving all coverage goals. The candidate will also explore innovative design verification methodologies to enhance the quality and efficiency of test benches and maintain the emulation environment to collect relevant metrics. This position requires full-time presence in San Diego, five days a week, and applicants must be U.S. citizens eligible for government security clearance.

Requirements
