About the role
As a Senior Engineer, Digital Verification, you will own verification planning and execution for complex mixed-signal integrated circuits and subsystems. You will translate specifications into scalable verification architectures, develop reusable SystemVerilog/UVM and real-number modeling solutions, and drive coverage closure across digital, analog, and mixed-signal interfaces.
What you'll do
- Own feature-based verification plans, requirements traceability, risk assessment, test strategy, and sign-off criteria for complex AMS IP, subsystems, and SoCs.
- Architect scalable, reusable verification environments that combine SystemVerilog/UVM, analog behavioral models, real-number models, and mixed-signal simulation.
- Develop and validate behavioral models in SystemVerilog real-number modeling, Verilog-AMS, or equivalent languages.
- Create constrained-random and directed tests, scoreboards, reference models, assertions, monitors, and functional coverage for analog-digital interactions, control loops, power modes, calibration, and fault conditions.
- Define measurable code, functional, assertion, and requirements coverage goals; analyze gaps; drive closure; and communicate verification readiness and residual risk.
- Lead cross-domain debug using waveforms, logs, assertions, schematics, and analog measurements to isolate failures.
What you'll need
- Advanced proficiency building reusable agents, sequences, scoreboards, reference models, assertions, and coverage components for block-, subsystem-, and SoC-level verification with SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Strong understanding of analog circuits and specifications, including sampling, quantization, noise, offset, gain, settling, linearity, clocking, feedback, calibration, and process-voltage-temperature effects.
- Hands-on experience with real-number modeling and behavioral model development using SystemVerilog real/wreal, Verilog-AMS, Verilog-A, or comparable abstraction techniques.
- Experience configuring and debugging analog, digital, and mixed-signal simulations using industry-standard simulators.
- Proven ability to convert specifications into executable verification plans and achieve requirements, functional, assertion, and code coverage closure.
- Expertise in constrained-random, coverage-driven, assertion-based, and directed verification, including negative testing and corner-case analysis.
- Working knowledge of power-state transitions, reset and startup sequences, clock and power-domain crossings, low-power intent, and verification of UPF-defined behavior.
- Strong Python proficiency and working knowledge of Tcl, Perl, shell, or similar languages for regressions, data analysis, failure triage, and flow automation.
- Demonstrated ability to diagnose complex cross-domain failures using simulation waveforms, logs, assertions, coverage reports, and quantitative data analysis.
- Familiarity with control and data interfaces such as SPI, I²C, APB, AHB, AXI, and high-speed serial or converter data paths, as applicable.
Nice to have
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; a Master’s degree is preferred.
- Typically 4–8 years of relevant IC verification experience, including substantial ownership of analog/mixed-signal verification environments or complex mixed-signal features.
- Demonstrated experience carrying verification from planning and environment development through coverage closure, sign-off, and post-silicon correlation.
- Experience with data converters, power management, clocking, sensor interfaces, RF/mixed-signal signal chains, or precision analog products.
