Design Verification WLAN - Sr Engineer

## Company: Qualcomm India Private Limited ## Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering General Summary: Join Qualcomm’s cutting-edge hardware engineering team to drive the design verification of next-generation SoCs, with a focus on wireless technologies including WLAN (IEEE 802.11). You will work on IP and subsystem-level verification, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, low-power silicon solutions. A strong understanding of on-chip buses and bridges is essential to ensure seamless integration and performance across subsystems. Key Responsibilities: * Develop and execute verification plans for complex SoC designs and IP blocks. * Architect and implement testbenches using System Verilog and UVM/OVM methodologies. * Perform RTL verification, simulation, and debugging. * Collaborate with design, architecture, and software teams to ensure functional correctness. * Contribute to IP design reviews and sign-off processes. * Support post-silicon validation and bring-up activities. * Analyze and verify interconnects, buses (e.g., AMBA AXI/AHB/APB), and bridges for performance and protocol compliance. * Conduct CPU subsystem verification (ARM/RISCV) including coherency, cache behavior, and interrupt handling. * Perform power-aware verification using UPF/CPF and validate low-power design intent. * Execute performance verification to ensure bandwidth, latency, and throughput targets are met. * Perform Gate level and Timing Simulations to sign off on Timing closure. * Analyze and verify serial peripherals like (UART/SDIO/SPI) and validate the Datapath integrity. Preferred Skills & Experience: * 4–10 years of experience in digital design and verification. * Deep understanding of bus protocols and bridge logic, including hands-on experience with AXI, AHB, and APB. * Experience with CPU (ARM/RISCV) subsystem verification and performance modeling. * Familiarity with wireless protocols (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) is a plus. * Proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM/OVM, Verilog, and scripting languages (Perl, Tcl, Python). * Experience with power-aware verification methodologies and tools (e.g., UPF, CPF). * Familiarity with performance verification techniques and metrics. * Exposure to tools like Clearcase/Perforce and simulation/debug environments. * Strong analytical, debugging, and communication skills. Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field. Job Description Minimum Qualifications: * Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. * Relevant experience in hardware design verification Applicants: Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer.
