Design Verification Engineer, Switching Regulators

Job Title

Design Verification Engineer, Switching Regulators

Role Summary

The Design Verification Engineer will join the Switching Regulators design verification team to verify high-performance analog power integrated circuits. The role focuses on building automated testbenches and verification infrastructure to validate functionality, electrical parameters, performance, and reliability of analog power ICs prior to tapeout and through transfer to production.

The engineer will collaborate closely with analog design, systems, validation, and test teams to define verification architecture, debug issues, and improve verification methodology and automation.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires 5+ years of relevant experience in analog IC design verification.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include designing and executing verification plans, creating models and automation, and driving issues to closure.

• Execute pre-silicon verification for complex analog IC products; build scalable automated testbenches and test automation.
• Develop SystemVerilog stimulus and checkers and integrate analog/mixed-signal verification flows (AMS/TLDV).
• Verify device behavior against datasheets, system-level use cases, and design-for-test requirements.
• Create and maintain behavioral models of analog circuits for simulation and verification.
• Triage silicon issues, collaborate with design and systems teams to resolve bugs, and clarify functional and datasheet specifications.
• Collaborate with validation and test engineering teams to enable successful transfer to production and manufacturing test.
• Contribute to verification methodologies and tooling to improve efficiency and reduce simulation time.
• Assign and guide team tasks, develop schedules, and monitor project progress.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Must-have: 5+ years of relevant experience in analog IC design verification with demonstrated experience verifying analog circuits at chip level.
• Must-have: Experience building automated verification testbenches and scripts; familiarity with SystemVerilog-based verification and simulation automation.
• Must-have: Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills for analog behaviors and mixed-signal interactions.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with analog verification flows (AMS / TLDV) and modeling of analog blocks.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with switching power converters and control topologies (peak current mode, constant-on-time, etc.).
• Nice-to-have: Experience with digital verification methodologies (UVM) and developing tools for automation, data collection, and analysis.
• Strong verbal and written communication and ability to collaborate across functions.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field is specified.
