Job description

Qualcomm is seeking a highly motivated validation engineer to support next-generation SoC platforms. This role involves pre-silicon verification, emulation, and post-silicon validation, with a focus on deep debugging in RTL/Verilog environments and hands-on silicon bring-up. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between design, DV, and system validation by developing firmware in C. The position requires collaboration across various teams to ensure robust functionality across simulation, emulation, and silicon platforms.

Requirements

  • 6–9 years of experience in SoC validation, design verification, or post-silicon validation.
  • Strong debug skills in Verilog/SystemVerilog simulation environments.
  • Experience with firmware development in C for embedded systems.
  • Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, debug, and validation.
  • Solid understanding of computer architecture and SoC subsystems.

Responsibilities

  • Drive end-to-end validation of SoC subsystems across RTL simulation, emulation platforms, and post-silicon environments.
  • Perform deep debug of functional issues including root-causing failures in RTL simulations and testbenches.
  • Develop and maintain production quality firmware in C to manage DDRSS IP sequences.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with design, DV teams, and system validation teams.
  • Develop tools and automation to improve validation efficiency and data collection.

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.
