General Summary

Qualcomm’s GPU team delivers industry‑leading graphics solutions that power Snapdragon‑based devices across mobile, compute, automotive, XR and low‑power edge platforms. As a Power Aware Design Verification (DV) Engineer, you will own low‑power verification of advanced GPU IP blocks and subsystems, ensuring robust power intent implementation and UPF‑driven power‑aware verification across multiple GPU generations.

This role requires strong expertise in SV/UVM‑based verification environments, power‑aware methodologies, and UPF‑based low‑power verification. You will collaborate closely with architects, RTL design, PD, emulation and software teams to ensure first‑time‑right silicon.

Key Responsibilities

Power‑Aware Verification

• Understanding of GPU power domains and HW programming guide sequences

• Own power‑aware UVM testbenches and develop test plan to verify all low power states

• Own end to end DV tasks from coding Test bench and test cases, write assertions, debugging UPF and RTL and achieving all coverage goals

• Participate in post Si debug and bring-up activities

• Exploring innovative dynamic or static methodologies by engaging with EDA vendors

Collaboration & Debug

• Work closely with design, architecture, emulation, SW driver teams to root‑cause issues.

• Drive bring‑up of low‑power GPU features on simulation/emulation platforms.

• Contribute to methodology improvements, automation, and flow enhancements for power‑aware verification.

Minimum Qualifications

• 2+ years of Design Verification experience with a Master’s degree from a Tier‑1 engineering institute
  OR
  

• 3+ years of DV experience with a Bachelor’s degree from a Tier‑1 engineering institute

Strong expertise in:

• Strong System Verilog/UVM based verification skills & Experience with Assertion & coverage-based verification methodology

• Experience in formal / static verification methodologies will be a plus

• Good understanding of low power design techniques

• Proficient with low power SoC design constructs such as clock gates, level shifters, isolation cells and state retention cells.

• Experience with UPF based power aware verification.

• Working knowledge of GLS , PAGLS and scripting languages such as Perl, Python is a plus 

Why Join Qualcomm GPU?

• Work on cutting‑edge low‑power GPU architectures used across billions of devices.

• Contribute to industry‑leading perf/Watt GPU designs.

• Be part of a global, high‑impact GPU team driving next‑generation graphics innovation.
