This is a real chance for you to get heavily involved in cutting-edge projects working in a global organisation. In return, we offer you a great range of benefits including personal and professional development, a uniquely flat culture and much, much more!

Main Responsibilities:

• Leadership of mixed signal verification activities, including resource planning, task assignment and reporting through to the delivery of thoroughly verified ICs.

• Definition of IC verification strategy for complex mixed signal systems. Including modelling and selection of appropriate simulation techniques and environments.

• Development of reliable and reusable mixed signal testbenches, compliant with industry standard verification techniques, for complex subsystems and mixed signal ICs. Develop behavioural models using advanced modelling techniques including real number modelling, user-defined types and Verilog AMS.

• Tool and methodology support for other Engineers working on mixed signal verification activities.

• Hands‑on project verification involvement, including testbench development, modelling of analog systems, netlisting and simulation.

• Mentorship and support of other engineers to develop their skills and improve the verification practices within the team.

• Collaboration with other Engineering disciplines to maximize efficiency of development activities.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• BEng / BSc / MEng / MSc Degree or equivalent in Electronics/Computer Science or other related discipline.

• Proven track record in delivering 1st time success with complex mixed signal IC’s.

• Experience of mixed signal simulation techniques and tools, including Spectre, AMS and Digital simulation.

• Knowledge of SystemVerilog

• Experience of analog and digital design.

• Modelling of Analog subsystems using System Verilog and VerilogA/AMS.

• Strong ability to interpret results and resolve problems.

• Highly developed communication skills.

• An innovative, creative, lateral thinking problem solver.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

• Scripting experience with Python, sh/csh, TCL, Make
