Job Title

AMS Verification Engineer

Role Summary

The AMS Verification Engineer is a member of an IC design team in Nijmegen responsible for planning and executing functional and analog-mixed-signal (AMS) verification for in-vehicle networking products. The role maps requirements to a traceable verification plan, develops verification environments and test benches, and supports debugging through tape-out.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires over 5 years of experience in digital/functional verification.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include creating verification plans, building verification infrastructure, and executing simulation and formal verification.

• Define and document verification plans and strategies
• Develop and implement verification test benches and components (drivers, monitors, response checkers)
• Develop directed and constrained-random stimulus using advanced UVM VIPs
• Define and maintain verification infrastructure, including VIP, lab test setups, and prototyping (FPGA/virtual)
• Create simulation models and test cases for simulation and formal verification
• Debug failures, reproduce issues, and perform root cause analysis
• Participate in change control board, design reviews, inspections, and walkthroughs from a verification perspective

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; nice-to-have items noted.

• Over 5 years of experience in digital/functional verification
• Strong knowledge of verification methodology and associated tools
• Proven skills in debug, failure re-creation, and root cause analysis
• Familiarity with ASIC/SoC design flow from feature identification through tape-out
• Experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog and UVM verification environments
• Experience developing test benches and simulation models
• Scripting experience (Perl, C-shell, Tcl, Python, Makefile)
• Nice-to-have: hands-on RTL coding and DFT experience
• Nice-to-have: affinity to automotive products and knowledge of automotive standards

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electronics.
