AMS Verification Engineer

Job Title

AMS Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Develop and maintain behavioral models (BMods) for complex analog/mixed-signal circuits and integrate them into digital functional verification environments. Work with analog designers, digital verification engineers, and system architects to validate model accuracy, run and debug AMS simulations, and improve modeling and simulation workflows.

Experience Level

Mid-level — at least 5 years of relevant experience in AMS verification, behavioral modeling, or analog/mixed-signal design.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include developing models, validating behavior through simulation, debugging, and improving team processes and automation.

• Develop and maintain SystemVerilog behavioral models (BMods) for analog circuits (e.g., SerDes, PMU, DCDC).
• Integrate BMods into digital functional verification environments and validate interactions.
• Run AMS simulations to improve coverage of AMS blocks, compare results to BMods, and support full-chip power-up simulations.
• Debug and troubleshoot issues found in functional verification or AMS simulations.
• Lead code and simulation reviews and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure model completeness.
• Improve modeling methodologies, simulation flows, and automation, and adopt AI-assisted tools to accelerate development and analysis.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for this role.

• Proven experience developing behavioral models (BMods) for analog circuits using SystemVerilog, including use of User Defined Net Types (UDNTs).
• Experience running and debugging AMS simulations with industry tools (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS-XA).
• Strong debugging skills for identifying and resolving issues in BMods and AMS simulations.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with analog designers, digital verification engineers, and system architects.
• Experience leveraging modern AI-based tools and workflows (e.g., AI-assisted code generation, automated analysis) to support modeling and verification tasks.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity integrating BMods into digital functional verification simulation environments.
• Experience with power-management circuits (LDO, DCDC converters, bandgap references, power-on-reset) and full-chip power-up sequencing.
• Background in SerDes design or verification (TX/RX, TDC, DTC, equalization).
• Scripting and automation experience (Python, Tcl, SKILL) for simulation flow management and tooling.

Education Requirements

B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
