Principal AMS Verification Engineer

Job Title

Principal AMS Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead verification of analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuits and full-chip mixed-signal simulation environments. Work with cross-functional teams to validate analog subsystems, digital logic, and firmware interactions to ensure device performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Experience Level

Senior (Principal-level). Specific years of experience not stated.

Responsibilities

Primary verification and validation activities for AMS designs and system-level integration.

• Develop and execute full-chip mixed-signal simulation environments combining analog, digital, and firmware.
• Create schematic and behavioral models to enable feasible and efficient full-chip simulations.
• Perform device-level electrical rule checks (SOA, snapback, SFB) and static/dynamic simulations to identify leakage paths.
• Run SPF extraction, fanout and coupling checks, and power-cycling simulations including power loss and brown-out events.
• Correlate chip-level user-mode simulations across analog subsystems, logic, and firmware algorithms.
• Review design datasheets and generate verification plans.
• Collaborate with Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Marketing on design for manufacturability, quality, reliability, and time-to-market.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and tools; personal attributes and automation experience noted.

• Strong understanding of MOS device physics, including second-order effects.
• Practical knowledge of analog circuits: current mirrors, bandgap, op-amps, regulators, ADC/DAC, and charge pumps.
• Experience with analog simulation and design tools (Virtuoso, HSPICE) and AMS co-simulation tools.
• Familiarity with hardware description languages (Verilog, SystemVerilog, Verilog-A/AMS).
• Proficiency with scripting for automation (shell, Perl, or Python).
• System-level debugging mindset and ability to manage complex workflows.
• Experience leveraging AI-assisted coding or automation techniques to improve efficiency (preferred).

Education Requirements
