General Summary:
Job Role
As a Staff CAD Engineer specializing in Logical Equivalence Check (LEC), you will be a key contributor to Qualcomm's formal verification infrastructure. You will work within the GCAD (Global CAD) organization, collaborating closely with design, synthesis, and implementation teams to ensure functional correctness of SoC designs across all stages of the ASIC design flow. You will leverage industry-leading EDA tools such as Cadence Conformal LEC, Conformal ECO, and Synopsys Formality to deliver high-quality, silicon-ready designs.
Key Responsibilities
Own and drive the end-to-end LEC flow including RTL-to-initmap, RTL-to-initopt, RTL-to-finalopt, gate-to-gate (G2G), and ECO verification runs.
Debug and resolve Non-Equivalences (NEQs), aborts, unmapped points, and incomplete verifications across complex SoC subsystems (e.g., APSS, DDRSS, GFX, Modem).
Develop and maintain LEC scripts, dofiles, and automation infrastructure using Tcl, Perl, Python,



or Shell scripting.
Collaborate with synthesis engineers to integrate LEC into the synthesis flow using Cadence Genus writedolec and Synopsys DC writeformalityscript interfaces.
Support Power-Aware Formal Verification (PA-FV) using UPF/CPF-based flows with Conformal Low Power (CLP) and Synopsys Formality with UPF.
Triage and resolve LEC-related JIRA tickets and provide technical guidance to junior engineers.
Contribute to LEC flow improvements, recipe development (abort recipes, compare recipes), and methodology enhancements across both Conformal and Formality platforms.
Participate in design handoffs, FEQOR portal sign-offs, and cross-functional reviews.
Evaluate and qualify current EDA tool versions and features from Cadence and Synopsys vendors.
Mentor junior and senior engineers on LEC methodology, debug techniques, and best practices across both tool ecosystems.
