  • Strong fundamentals in digital ASIC design and experience using Verilog or VHDL.
  • Experience with ASIC test, DFT, and debug.
  • 3+ years of practical experience with test or DFT.
  • Experience using Mentor Tessent tools.
  • Experience with defining and implementing SOC level verification on large designs.
  • Proficiency in TCL, Perl/Python, and Shell scripting.

Responsibilities

  • Create test vectors or oversee their creation.
  • Validate that DFT requirements are being met.
  • Work with designers to increase test coverage, debug observability, and flexibility.
  • Verify that post-PD designs meet DFT requirements.
  • Collaborate with test personnel and run tests when needed.

Benefits

  • Qualcomm offers competitive compensation, annual bonuses, stock programs, comprehensive healthcare coverage, retirement plans, wellness programs, parental leave, flexible work options, and professional development opportunities.
