Pre-Silicon Emulation Validation Engineer

Use SystemVerilog and Python to validate complex SoC designs as a Pre-Silicon Emulation Engineer with Qualcomm Technologies in San Diego, onsite. Hardware emulation and RTL debugging anchor this engineering work.

This Junior/Senior Emulation Engineer supports ASIC and FPGA-based design development and validation. You will build emulation environments, enable hardware/software co-validation, and apply system-level debugging. The work spans verification infrastructure, automation, waveform analysis, and AI-assisted productivity tools.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain ASIC and FPGA emulation environments
• Port RTL onto Palladium, Veloce, or FPGA platforms
• Build testbenches and transactors using SystemVerilog and C/C++
• Debug functional, performance, and system-level emulation issues
• Create Python automation workflows for regressions and debugging

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related technical field
• Zero to two or more years in verification, prototyping, or emulation
• Expertise with SystemVerilog, C/C++, Linux, shell scripting, and Python
• Experience with RTL debugging and waveform analysis
• Knowledge of SoC architectures, bus protocols, and hardware/software interactions

Apply emulation, RTL verification, Python automation, and system-level debugging to Qualcomm SoC validation in San Diego.
