Senior Principal Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer
Experience: Senior-level, 15+ years
Position Summary:
Lead top-level design verification for mixed-signal and power-management ICs, ensuring functional accuracy, performance, and manufacturability across diverse applications.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and execute metric-driven verification plans based on functional, performance, and test specifications.
Create constrained-random tests, automated checkers, and coverage models within UVM environments.
Develop accurate RNM and Verilog-AMS models for top-level simulations.
Verify power-management ICs, including motor drivers, battery management, DC-DC regulators, and power-loss protection.
Collaborate with design and test teams to debug issues and improve first-pass silicon success.
Automate verification processes and continuously improve methodologies.
Support customer-facing technical discussions and use-case-driven verification.
Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
15+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal design verification or power-management IC development, or equivalent education and experience.
Strong expertise in UVM, test development, functional coverage, and global checkers.
In-depth knowledge of analog and power-management circuits, including LDOs, amplifiers, bandgaps, DC-DC regulators, oscillators, and asynchronous state machines.
Experience with SPICE/Spectre, event-based simulators, mixed-signal co-simulation, and simulation and silicon debugging.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Experience with top-down design and verification methodologies.
Proficiency in Python or shell scripting.
Familiarity with SV-UDN/EENET modeling, SystemVerilog assertions, and functional coverage.
Experience with GUI-based and command-line simulation workflows.
Understanding of AI integration into verification workflows.
Travel: Up to 10% domestic or international travel.
