Mixed Signal Design Verification Engineer
Intel CorporationJob Title
Mixed Signal Design Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Responsible for functional verification of mixed-signal logic and associated verification environments to ensure designs meet specifications for functional, performance, and power targets. Works within a cross-functional SoC or IP verification team interacting with digital and analog architects, RTL developers, and physical design engineers.
Experience Level
Mid-level. Typical experience expected is 3+ years in relevant verification or design verification work (Intel lists Bachelor's +3 years or Master's +2 years as the minimum guidance).
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include planning and executing verification activities for mixed-signal IP and systems.
- Perform functional verification of mixed-signal logic components, including analog behavioral modeling.
- Develop IP verification plans, test benches, and verification environments to meet microarchitecture specifications.
- Execute verification plans and run system simulations to verify design behavior and analyze power and timing.
- Replicate, root-cause, and debug issues in the presilicon environment.
- Implement fixes and corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
- Collaborate with architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to verify complex features.
- Document test plans and drive technical reviews with design and architecture teams.
- Maintain and improve functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
Requirements
Minimum technical skills and experience required. Preferred items are listed separately.
- Digital logic verification experience.
- Experience with VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog.
- Testbench component development experience (preferably OVM/UVM) and verification environment construction.
- Strong design-debugging skills and presilicon root-cause analysis.
- Experience writing and executing verification plans, and running system-level simulations for functional, power, and timing analysis.
- Ability to collaborate across digital, analog, RTL, and physical design teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Analog debug skills and real-number (current/voltage) simulation modeling and debug.
- Extensive related experience (Intel lists 7+ years as preferred).
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 3+ years of relevant experience, or Master's degree in those fields with 2+ years of relevant experience. Relevant experience may also come from school projects, internships, military training, or equivalent professional experience.
