Staff Design Verification Engineer - Chandler, United States
Originally posted 21 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
As a Staff Verification Engineer, you will be responsible for the verification and modeling of mixed-signal automotive power management devices, including PMICs, switching regulators, and related analog IP. You will work closely with design, systems, validation, and CAD teams to support development, integration, and sign-off of mixed-signal power chips.
What you'll do
- Design and architect mixed-signal verification environments, including Real Number Model (RNM) and AMS (Analog Mixed Signal) model integration for PMIC designs. - Develop and implement verification plans and strategies for automotive PMIC products, ensuring compliance with automotive safety standards including ISO 26262 and AEC-Q200. - Lead debugging activities for analog blocks such as switched-mode regulators, Linear Dropout (LDO) regulators, and mixed-signal interfaces. - Set up and optimize Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) flows, correlating with RTL simulation results across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners. - Collaborate with Design, Application Engineering, ATE, and Silicon Validation teams to debug analog and digital domain interactions. - Create and maintain verification documentation, test plans, and coverage metrics while evaluating verification tools and infrastructure.
What you'll need
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. - 8+ years of experience in mixed-signal or analog circuit verification. - Hands-on experience with Real Number Model (RNM) and AMS model integration. - Proficiency in RTL and behavioral simulation tools including Spectre and Xcelium. - Experience with Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) flows and debugging across analog blocks (switched-mode regulators, LDO, bandgap, reference circuits) and digital RTL. - Solid understanding of verification methodologies including UVM, assertions, and coverage-driven verification, with proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and SPICE-based languages.
