Job description

Analog/Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer
Remote / work from home
US Citizen or US Permanent Resident
Full-time/employee + Benefits + 401k + Stock Options

You will work on a small, talented team responsible for developing new verification techniques to verify state-of-the-art circuits and systems, ensuring their accuracy and reliability prior to tape-outs. You will have the opportunity to contribute to all areas of AMS verification, including behavioral modeling, simulation, and mixed-signal integration. Projects range from verifying high-speed, low-noise analog circuits to ensuring the correctness of complex direct-RF digital beamforming and secure hardware systems.

Responsibilities:
• Collaborate with design teams to identify verification gaps and propose coverage-driven solutions.
• Contribute to post-silicon validation, debugging, and characterization efforts to ensure correlation with pre-silicon verification.
• Create behavioral models of analog and RF components in SystemVerilog, Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, or other relevant modeling languages.
• Define testbenches and validation plans to ensure seamless integration between analog and digital subsystems.
• Develop and execute AMS verification methodologies for high-performance analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuits, including DACs/ADCs, PLLs, LNAs, and VGAs.
• Perform functional and mixed-signal verification using industry-standard AMS simulation tools.
• Stay up to date with advancements in AMS verification methodologies, tools, and semiconductor process technologies.

Skills & Experience:
• Experience in developing advanced verification flows from the ground up
• Experience with analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit verification, including behavioral modeling, simulation, and validation
• Expertise in industry-standard AMS verification tools, such as:
- Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and ADE-XL
- Real-number emulation on the Cadence Palladium or Synopsys ZeBu platforms
- VCS, Xcelium
• PhD + research experience or BSEE/MSEE with 5+ years of relevant experience
• Proficiency in Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS and SystemVerilog real number modeling for mixed-signal verification
