Job description

Job Description

The successful candidate will be responsible for system‑level Analog Mixed‑Signal (AMS) verification and Power Integrity (PI/SI) for next‑generation SoCs and chiplet‑based platforms, integrating analog IP in mature nodes with advanced digital nodes (e.g., 12nm and beyond).

Responsibilities

• Lead/contribute to sub‑system and chip‑level AMS and SPICE simulations for complex SoCs and multi‑die (chiplet) architectures
• Drive AMS verification across chiplet boundaries, including cross‑node integration (mature analog + 12nm digital)
• Collaborate closely with SoC design, architecture, analog, and advanced‑node digital implementation teams
• Review and understand SoC specifications, IO subsystems, and die‑to‑die interface requirements
• Plan and execute AMS/SPICE simulation strategies, including full‑chip and chiplet‑level verification.
• Perform PI/SI simulations covering:
  • Die pad ring
  • Package and interposer (chiplet‑based designs)
  • PCB interfaces (as applicable)
• Analyze power integrity and signal integrity across chiplet interfaces and multiple power domains
• Develop and enhance AMS and PI/SI methodologies and flows for multi‑die/chiplet systems
• Partner with validation teams on silicon bring‑up, debug, and simulation‑to‑silicon correlation

Requirements / Qualifications

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent with 14+ years of experience.
• Proven experience in AMS verification for advanced SoCs, including exposure to 12nm nodes or beyond
• Solid understanding of cross‑domain interactions and multi‑voltage/power domains
• Hands‑on experience with industry‑standard tools:
  • Cadence (Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS Designer)
  • Questa ADMS / Symphony
  • HSPICE or equivalent
  • Experience in silicon debug and correlation of simulation results with silicon behavior
  • Ability to analyze and interpret chip‑level electrical specifications and IO requirements.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively in a global, cross‑functional environment

Preferred

• Experience with chiplet architectures or multi‑die system integration
• Exposure to die‑to‑die interfaces and advanced node (12nm and beyond) integration challenges
• Experience in circuit‑level debug and modeling
