Qualcomm Canada ULCJob Area:Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS EngineeringGeneral Summary:Qualcomm is seeking a motivated and experienced Design Verification Engineer to join its memory subsystem verification team. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive verification strategies for complex digital designs, including memory controllers, DDR/LPDDR/HBM and custom memory interfaces, PHY-related logic, and other high-performance memory subsystem components.This role involves the complete verification lifecycle—from understanding design specifications and developing verification plans to creating UVM-based testbenches, developing assertions, executing simulations, debugging failures, and driving functional and code coverage closure.Key ResponsibilitiesDevelop verification strategies, test plans, and coverage plans for complex RTL designs.Sequences and sequence librariesDrivers and monitorsScoreboards and reference modelsAgents, environments, and test configurationsFunctional coverage modelsCreate and execute constrained-random, directed, error-injection, and corner-case tests.Verify memory-controller, PHY-interface, and memory-subsystem functionality across multiple operating modes.Analyze simulation failures using waveform viewers, simulation logs, transaction databases, and other debug tools.Perform root-cause analysis of verification failures and collaborate with RTL, architecture, modeling, and integration teams to resolve issues.Review RTL, microarchitecture specifications, interface definitions, and design changes for functional correctness, completeness, and verifiability.Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including architecture, design, physical design, firmware, modeling,
and system validation teams.Required QualificationsBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.3-10 years of experience in ASIC, SoC, IP, or subsystem design verification.Experience writing assertions for protocol compliance, temporal behavior, interface checking, and functional correctness.Strong understanding of digital design and verification fundamentals, including clocking, reset behavior, synchronous and asynchronous logic, and multi-clock-domain designs.Experience with simulation-based verification, waveform analysis, regression execution, and failure debug.Preferred QualificationsExperience verifying LPDDR, DDR, DDR PHY, HBM, custom memory interfaces.Experience working with commercial or internally developed memory models.Experience verifying high-performance, low-power, or multi-clock-domain designs.Experience with performance verification, including bandwidth, latency, throughput, efficiency, QoS, and stress testing of memory subsystems.Familiarity with hardware/software co-verification or system-level validation.Experience with memory training, initialization, refresh, power-management, frequency-switching, calibration, or error-handling scenarios.Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.ORMaster's degree in Science, Engineering,
or related field and 1+ year of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.ORPhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.If you are an individual with a disability and need an accommodation during the application/hiring process, rest assured that Qualcomm is committed to providing an accessible process.
