GPU Design Verification Engineer

Company Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area Engineering Group > GPU ASICS Engineering Summary Architects, designs, implements, verifies, and optimizes performance and power of GPU cores. Responsible for verification of Graphics IP, and performing pre- and post-silicon verification to verify correctness and ensure performance and power goals are met. Responsibilities The responsibilities of this role include: Owning and executing on key independent tasks towards program requirements. Using verbal and written communication skills to convey basic, routine factual information about day‑to‑day activities to others who are fully knowledgeable in the subject area. Working within prescribed timeline requirements and resource constraints. Applying independent creative thought to troubleshoot technical problems or deal with novel circumstances. Research through available resources and engagement with various inter‑disciplinary teams. Using deductive problem solving to solve moderately complex problems; most problems have defined processes of diagnosis/detection; some limited data analysis may be required.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Applies Graphics knowledge and experience to architect, design, implement, and verify the structure and performance of GPU hardware, drivers, features, applications, and tools. Creates and maintains verification test benches and environments in System Verilog/UVM. Create and leverage advanced testing frameworks to generate and recreate real‑world system integration conditions. Collaborates with Architecture, Software, Firmware, Design, Modeling, Emulation and Post‑silicon validation teams to define and develop test methodology and content. Participate in GPU architecture, micro‑architecture reviews. Collect, organize and execute various forms of system level test content including directed testcases, gaming benchmarks, standards compliance testsuites, and system level scenarios. Build automation for continuous integration and testing based on latest GPU IP. Help collect and analyze test results using straightforward statistics and data predictions to track benchmarks and identify issues. Works with team members to understand and align on narrow scope of feature development and meet targets. Write technical documentation and feature descriptions for straightforward projects under the direction of a supervisor.
