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).

Key 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.
