Design Verification Engineer — IPP MPP

Job Title

Design Verification Engineer — IPP MPP

Role Summary

Join the Dallas-based power management design team to verify high-current power stages for multi-phase buck converters used in high-performance computing and data-center applications. The role delivers production-ready mixed-signal power-management ICs through verification planning, simulation, and collaboration with design and test teams.

Experience Level

Mid-level — requires 3+ years of experience in mixed-signal IC verification.

Responsibilities

The engineer will develop and execute verification for mixed-signal power management ICs and collaborate across design and test to ensure robustness and manufacturability.

• Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for mixed-signal power-management ICs.
• Create simulation testbenches and verification environments for power-stage circuits.
• Verify digital-analog interface boundaries (timing and functional correctness).
• Verify load-transient response, efficiency, stability, switching performance, and protection features.
• Verify fault detection and protection behaviors including overcurrent, undervoltage, and thermal shutdown.
• Assess design robustness with board-level and package-level parasitics.
• Work with analog designers to identify and resolve issues early in development.
• Collaborate with test engineers to verify and debug test and trim sequences.
• Define and track verification coverage metrics.
• Contribute to verification methodology improvements and automation.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; education details are in the Education Requirements section below.

• 3+ years of experience in mixed-signal IC verification.
• Strong understanding of mixed-signal verification methodologies and best practices.
• Proficiency with industry-standard simulation tools for analog and mixed-signal verification.
• Experience with scripting for automation (Python, SKILL, or similar).
• Familiarity with switching converter operation and DC-DC converter topologies.
• Strong analytical, debugging, documentation, and communication skills.
• Experience verifying fault/protection mechanisms and assessing parasitic effects.
• Experience defining and tracking verification coverage metrics; experience improving verification methodology and automation is a plus.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field is required; Master's degree is preferred. Fields of study include electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related technical disciplines. The posting does not state an explicit "equivalent experience" clause, but professional experience in mixed-signal IC verification is required.
