Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering General Summary: Qualcomm is a company of inventors whose   breakthrough   innovations   are accelerating progress   in data center technologies, connectivity, and new possibilities that   are transforming   industries,   creating opportunities , and   enriching   lives.   Bringing this potential to life requires   inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and   perspectives to develop   world-changing technologies and products. This is the Invention Age—and this is where you   can make an impact .   The Qualcomm   GSoC   HW team develops and delivers innovative, best-in-class products across advanced   compute   and connectivity domains. As part of the Global SoC organization, our   ASIC Design Verification Engineers   bring deep   expertise   in   CPUs, memory systems , High Bandwidth Compute (HBC), AI   inference acceleration, and   ASIC design and verification fundamentals , along with a strong   drive to   create   new solutions .   This role offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on next-generation product lines, from data center solutions to AI/ML and autonomous driving technologies. You will join an exceptional global engineering team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible today and defining the platforms of the future.

We are   looking for   highly motivated new college graduates and experienced Design Verification Engineers to join our   GSoC   Design Verification team. In this role, you will   verify   next-generation Data Center SoCs that power AI, high-performance computing, mobile, and cloud infrastructure products. You will   partner   closely with architects, design engineers, software teams, and verification specialists to   build   scalable verification solutions, drive verification closure, and   support   first-silicon success for complex SoC designs. This   role   provides   the opportunity to work on   advanced   technologies   such as   multi-core CPUs, cache coherency systems, memory subsystems, AI/ML accelerators, high-speed interconnects, security, and   modern   SoC   architecture .   As an SOC Verification Engineer, you will   be responsible for   ensuring the quality and functionality of System-on-Chip (SOC) designs through comprehensive verification processes. You will develop and implement verification methodologies, create test plans, and execute verification tests to   identify   and resolve design issues.   Additionally   i n this role,  you will   also   help   build   the AI-powered intelligent agents that   assist   engineers in areas such as Design Verification, regression management, debug automation, test planning, and design analysis.

Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for SoC, subsystem, and IP-level features.    Design and implement scalable System Verilog/UVM-based and Processor-based verification environments.    Create directed and constrained-random test scenarios to validate functionality and architectural use cases.     Develop assertions, functional coverage models, and checkers.    Debug RTL, testbench, and integration issues and work closely with design teams to resolve defects.    Drive coverage closure using functional and code coverage metrics.    Participate in architecture and design reviews to ensure verification requirements are incorporated early in the development cycle.    Verify complex Data Center SoC features .   Support emulation and acceleration-based verification when   required .    Contribute to   methodology   improvements, automation, reusable verification components, and AI-assisted verification flows.   Develop AI agents that automate engineering tasks across   domains   workflows.    Build agent workflows using modern LLM frameworks
