Job Overview: Qualcomm's validation team is part of the central Global SoC digital hardware organization responsible for the overall quality of the SoC silicon. The validation team works closely with architects, designers, verification engineers, software engineers, and customers. The team is currently seeking a candidate specifically for SOC Infrastructure/NoC, Power and Performance Validation in pre‑silicon emulation and post‑silicon. The candidate is expected to have an excellent understanding of digital design fundamentals, on‑chip interconnects, writing content to validate and analyze SOC bus architecture, performance and power.
Required Skills:
SOC Bandwidth, QoS, Latency and Throughput analysis
Interconnect architectures - NoCs, AXI, AHB etc. Knowledge of upstream and downstream operations and the ability to write programs to stress their transactions for appropriate coverage
Solid expertise in various FIFO designs and related performance/functionality aspects
Come up with thorough performance validation plans and work closely with team members to ensure Performance‑Power trade‑offs are factored in
System Low power modes
Dynamic clock and voltage scaling operations
Interrupt architecture
Debug architecture - interactions with JTAG based debuggers, state dump scripts
Performance monitor architecture
Thorough understanding of CPU and DDR concepts, multimedia, GPU, peripheral, memory hierarchy and caches - coherency, consistency (ordering), memory types and attributes, synchronization & semaphores, full‑system concurrency, MTE, MPAM
Experience in embedded systems/expertise in C, C++, Python and assembly languages
Design and Implementation of drivers and test content
Debugging low level software and hardware issues
Fundamental understanding of Static, Leakage and Dynamic power in a semiconductor design
Familiarity in debug tools including JTAG and kernel debuggers
Structured program development concepts
Logical thinking and problem‑solving ability with focus on Power, Performance and SoC System feature validation
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of ASIC Design, Verification, Validation, or related work experience.
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC Design, Validation, Verification, or related work experience.
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC Design, Validation, Verification, or related work experience.
