Job description

Role Summary

Lead analog and mixed-signal verification for automotive and industrial PMIC products from specification through verification signoff. Define verification strategies, environments, regressions, and coverage objectives for complex mixed-signal IPs, subsystems, and SoCs. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure product quality, reliability, functional correctness, safety, and robustness.

Job Responsibility

Review product requirements, architecture specifications, design documentation, programming models, interfaces, and implementation plans for automotive and industrial PMIC applications. Define and execute AMS verification strategies aligned with system, performance, quality, reliability, safety, power, and functional requirements. Lead AMS verification activities, including verification plans, methodologies, environments, regressions, documentation, schedules, coverage objectives, and milestone tracking. Develop and validate mixed-signal simulation environments, behavioral models, checkers, assertions, scoreboards, and reusable verification components using Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog, UVM, and RNM. Drive verification execution through test planning, constrained-random verification, mixed-signal simulation, coverage analysis, regression management, debug, and signoff. Bridge digital and mixed-signal verification flows for robust block, subsystem, and top-level verification. Verify digital control, monitoring, telemetry, diagnostics, configuration, protection, power sequencing, and fault-management functions within PMIC and power-conversion products. Track development metrics including milestones, code and functional coverage, defect resolution, requirements traceability, and compliance with verification requirements. Drive methodology improvements to increase simulation efficiency, reuse, quality, productivity, and cost effectiveness across projects. Collaborate with analog, digital, validation, subsystem, SoC, applications, system, customer, product definition, and architecture teams while mentoring junior engineers.

Job Qualification

M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field required. Minimum 10 years of experience in analog and mixed-signal IC verification and development, including technical leadership responsibilities. Strong understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuit fundamentals, including PMICs, DC-DC converters, LDOs, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, voltage references, bandgaps, and sensor interfaces. Expertise in AMS verification using Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog, UVM, assertions, mixed-signal simulation, and Real Number Modeling (RNM). Experience developing behavioral models and reusable verification environments for complex mixed-signal designs. Strong knowledge of coverage-driven verification, constrained-random verification, regression automation, and verification signoff processes. Experience with formal verification, low-power verification, and requirements traceability methodologies is highly desirable. Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys, and Siemens EDA. Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Tcl, or Shell for automation and productivity enhancement. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to develop innovative solutions for complex technical challenges. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and collaborate effectively in a fast-paced product development environment.
