About The Position

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring high quality silicon for IC chips and IPs. Daily work involves verification of mixed signal IC designs using a combination of analog circuits and RTL in the same simulation. Responsibilities include all phases of pre-silicon verification from early discussions with architects, reviewing specifications, writing verification plans, running simulations, triaging issues, and reviewing results with the team. • Develop detailed test and coverage plans based on IC specifications. • Completion of verification plans from beginning to end: test bench and environment bring-up, regressions, failure debug, and tape-out. • Develop verification methodology suitable for the IP, ensuring scalability and portability. • Develop verification environment, including stimuli, checkers, assertions, trackers, and coverage. • Sign-off mixed signal designs in preparation for tapeout.

Requirements

• BS and a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience

Nice To Haves

• Ability to verify analog/mixed-signal designs in a collaborative team environment.
• Proficient in hardware descriptive languages: Verilog, System-Verilog, and/or Verilog-AMS code.
• Familiarity with authoring analog assertion checks to catch bugs.
• Capability to identify failure mechanisms and review verification results in analog IC designs.
• Ability to write test plans, present results, and communicate clearly with multi-functional teams.
• Comfortable with running simulations through compute clusters while optimizing simulation and wall time.
• Understanding of both power management and related auxiliary circuitry: switching converters, linear converters, reference circuitry, bandgaps, data converters, and/or clock generators.
• Have a familiarity with verification methodologies and tools: simulators, waveform viewers, execution automation, coverage collection, gate level simulations.
• Experience developing scalable and portable test benches.
• A background that includes scripting or programming languages is preferred. These include, but are not limited to, TCL, Skill, Python, and/or PERL.
• Your familiarity with analog behavioral models is also a plus.
