About the Role

As a Staff Design Verification Engineer, you will develop and execute verification strategies for complex analog and mixed-signal ICs, from test planning through coverage closure. You will apply AI/ML techniques to improve regression efficiency, debug throughput, and coverage analysis. Your work will contribute to product quality and delivery across multiple business units, ensuring ADI's next-generation mixed-signal and power management products meet rigorous quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

Apply AI/ML methodologies for failure clustering, regression triage, anomaly detection, and coverage optimizationDevelop and execute verification plans, defining coverage models and success metrics for mixed-signal IC blocks and subsystemsBuild and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, monitors, scoreboards, and automated checkers for mixed-signal verificationPerform functional coverage analysis and drive coverage closure toward tape-out readinessSupport silicon correlation by comparing simulation expectations against lab measurements and refining tests based on resultsParticipate in verification reviews, contributing technical analysis on coverage completeness and methodology improvementsCollaborate with design, applications, and test teams to ensure verification reflects real use-cases and operating conditions

Required Skills and Experience

MSEE or MSCE with 7+ years of IC verification experience, or PhD with 5+ years (BSEE/BSCE with equivalent depth considered) Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM with experience building coverage-driven verification environments for mixed-signal products Demonstrated ability to deliver verification through tape-out sign-off and production release Solid Python scripting skills with experience applying AI/ML techniques to enhance verification productivity Knowledge of formal verification, assertion-based methodology, and clock domain crossing analysis Proficiency with Cadence verification tools: Xcelium (simulation), JasperGold (formal verification) Excellent presentation, technical writing, and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

Curiosity and initiative to explore AI/ML techniques and emerging tools that can transform verification workflows, with an enthusiasm for discovering more effective ways of working Experience with mixed-signal and AMS verification techniques including Verilog-AMS, real-number modeling, and behavioral abstraction Experience with gate-level simulation, SDF back-annotation, and post-layout verification Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment

Technical Scope

Application of AI/ML-driven workflows for regression analytics, failure classification, and debug acceleration Block-level and subsystem-level verification ownership from specification analysis through coverage closure Mixed-signal verification environment development including analog behavioral modeling and digital-analog interface checking Test plan authoring, coverage model implementation, and regression management

Collaboration and Impact

Share AI/ML-driven improvements to verification workflows and best practices with team members Work with design, applications, and test teams to translate product requirements into verification coverage that reflects real operating conditions Contribute to verification reviews and cross-team technical discussions
