I recently received offers from Qualcomm Modem team ( San Diego, CA) for Design Verification role- Modem ASIC Engineer, and another offer from AMD Unified Memory Controller ( UMC ) team ( Austin, CA) for the same role- College Graduate experience.
In terms of the scalability of jobs in respective teams and the opportunity to grow in both the companies, what would be a better opportunity?
The Base salary, sign on bonus and relocation is almost the same in both companies. Qualcomm is giving RSUs while AMD isn't.
But I'd prefer a role which has a good future prospect and sufficient work-life balance.

It came down to timing and you made the right call. Dont worry about it, all the best.
Not disputing that DVs primary responsibility is verification, heck I didnt even know if the expectation of DV was to do full fledged design.
Anyhow, what I am countering is the broad stroke you painted all QCOM DV teams with. I am in design and my impression has infact been the opposite.
DV is very much at the center of attention in execution and drive most of the execution milestones. They have a seat at the table for design feature evalauations. Bugs are expensive and DVs risk assesment carries serious weight in decision making.
Plus the work itself is stimulating. Every project there are components and sequences built from scratch, there is plenty of dev work going around in the project to the point we have to cut back. Plus there is opportunity for full independent ownership irrespective if you are new grad fresh out of college or a seasoned campaigner.
To me, that sounds like a good DV experience.
