Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering
General Summary: As a leading technology innovator,
Qualcomm
pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next‑generation experiences and drive digital transformation—creating a smarter, more connected future for all.
We are seeking a seasoned
Design Verification (DV) Lead
to join our
Security Engineering team , where you will provide strategic oversight and technical leadership for the verification of security‑critical hardware subsystems. This is a high‑impact role responsible for driving DV execution, ensuring quality and completeness, and mentoring a team of engineers to deliver world‑class secure hardware solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and manage DV efforts for security‑focused subsystems, ensuring alignment with architectural and system‑level requirements.
Define and own verification strategy, methodology, and execution plans across multiple functional domains.
Oversee development of scalable and reusable verification environments, including stimulus generation, checkers, monitors, assertions, and coverage models.
Guide the creation and execution of detailed test and coverage plans based on architecture and micro‑architecture specifications.
Drive design bring‑up, regression setup, and debug efforts, ensuring robust verification coverage and timely closure of issues.
Provide technical mentorship and leadership to DV engineers, fostering best practices and continuous improvement.
Collaborate cross‑functionally with architects, designers, and software teams to ensure comprehensive validation of security features.
Report DV progress and quality metrics to stakeholders, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Preferred Qualifications:
15+ years
of experience in SOC‑level or core‑level verification, with a strong track record of leading DV teams and delivering high‑quality silicon.
Deep understanding of APB/AXI/SPI protocols, handshake mechanisms, cross‑clock domains, and clock gating.
Solid grasp of memory organization, fault‑tolerant design, parity schemes, and error detection/correction mechanisms.
Experience with SystemVerilog/UVM, formal verification, assertions, and silicon bring‑up.
Familiarity with ARM or RISC‑V processor architectures, NoC designs, and micro‑architectures.
Proficiency with industry‑standard verification tools: simulators, coverage tools, waveform viewers, and mixed‑signal verification.
Strong scripting skills in Python/Perl and working knowledge of UNIX/Linux environments.
Experience in writing test plans, portable testbenches, transactors, and assembly code.
Security experience (e.g., cryptographic algorithms, secure boot flows) is a
plus , but not required.
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 8+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 7+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
This leadership role offers the opportunity to shape the verification strategy for some of the most secure and innovative hardware platforms in the industry. If you're a seasoned DV professional with a passion for quality and team leadership, we invite you to join us in building the future of secure computing.
Pay range: $222,600.00 - $333,800.00
We also offer a competitive annual discretionary bonus program and opportunity for annual RSU grants. Our highly competitive benefits package supports your success at work, at home, and at play.
