Senior — typically requires 10+ years of experience in AMS or mixed-signal IC verification.

Responsibilities

Accountable for AMS verification deliverables from specification review through silicon correlation; mentor engineers and improve verification methodology and efficiency.

• Lead and coordinate AMS verification activities across projects and teams.
• Define verification plans, strategies, environments, regressions, and coverage goals.
• Develop and validate mixed-signal simulation environments, behavioural models, checkers, assertions, and reusable verification components.
• Integrate digital verification and mixed-signal flows for top-level verification and system validation.
• Drive methodology improvements to increase simulation efficiency, reuse, and cost-effectiveness.
• Support design reviews, bug tracking, post-silicon correlation, and continuous improvement.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, tools, and experience required for the role.

• 10+ years of AMS or mixed-signal IC verification experience.
• Proven experience leading verification for complex ASIC or mixed-signal IC projects.
• Solid knowledge of analog fundamentals, digital RTL debug, co-simulation, and mixed-signal verification methodologies.
• Hands-on experience with verification plans, testbenches, regressions, coverage measurement, reviews, and bug closure.
• Experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, SVA, Verilog-AMS, SystemC, and WREAL/RNM modelling.
• Familiarity with EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Xcelium, Spectre, and vManager.
