## Company: Qualcomm India Private Limited ## Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering General Summary: As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Hardware Engineer, you will plan, design, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, bring-up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/optical systems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems that launch cutting-edge, world class products. Qualcomm Hardware Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop solutions and meet performance requirements. Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. Key Responsibilities: * Develop and maintain UVM-based verification environments for high-speed interconnect protocols (PCIe, CXL, AXI). * Create and execute verification plans for high-speed interconnect protocols including PCIe, CXL, AXI, and CHI. * Perform block-level and top-level verification, including functional coverage, assertion-based verification, and regression testing. * Collaborate with RTL designers, architects, and validation teams to ensure design correctness and coverage closure. * Work closely with design and architecture teams to understand specifications and derive verification strategies. * Use third-party VIPs (e.g., Synopsys, Mentor) for protocol compliance and simulation. * Implement and enhance scoreboards, agents, monitors, and sequences. * Integrate and validate SMMU and Coresight components in Subsystem environments. * Drive verification closure through coverage convergence and assertion-based verification. * Contribute to performance, power, and cost optimization considerations during verification. * Mentor junior engineers and contribute to verification methodology improvements. * Debug failures at RTL and gate-level simulations. Required Skills: * Strong proficiency in System Verilog, UVM, and verification methodologies. * Deep understanding of PCIe Gen3/Gen4/Gen5/Gen6, CXL 1.1/2.0/3.0, AXI/CHI protocols, and SMMU/Coresight architecture. * Familiarity with Synopsys/Mentor VIPs for PCIe/CXL and AMBA protocols. * Expertise in assertion-based verification (SVA) and coverage-driven testing. * Proficiency in Perl/Python/Tcl scripting for automation. * Knowledge of power-aware verification (UPF), formal verification, and performance/power optimization. * Experience with coverage-driven verification and random constraint-based testing. * Experience with scripting languages like Python, Perl, or Tcl. Preferred Qualifications: * Bachelor’s/Master’s/Ph.D. in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering. * 8–12+ years of ASIC/Subsystem/SoC verification experience. * Experience with PCIe, USB, Ethernet, or other peripheral protocols is a plus. * Exposure to post-silicon validation and lab bring-up is desirable.
