RenesasJob Title
Senior Staff Engineer, Design Verification (Power & Analog ICs)
Role Summary
Lead verification efforts for power-management and analog/mixed-signal SoC blocks and full-chip integrations. The role drives verification planning, environment architecture, and quality sign-off while coordinating cross-functional teams.
Experience Level
Senior - overall 12+ years of verification experience; expected to act as technical lead and mentor.
Responsibilities
Accountable for verification strategy, implementation, and closure across block, subsystem, and chip levels.
- Define and own verification plans, methodologies, and coverage strategies for complex SoCs.
- Architect and implement verification environments and extend existing frameworks.
- Develop testbench components: agents, sequencers, drivers, monitors, scoreboards.
- Integrate industry-standard VIP and develop custom transactors where needed.
- Drive end-to-end verification: gate-level simulation and debug, regression runs, coverage analysis and closure, failure triage.
- Convert verification tests to test patterns and support ATE vector bring-up activities.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and serve as technical owner for key deliverables.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and practical experience.
- 12+ years of verification experience using methodologies such as UVM.
- Experience with industry-standard simulators, revision-control, and regression systems.
- Proven ability to architect and execute full verification lifecycle for complex blocks and SoCs.
- Strong RTL and gate-level debug skills and experience working with cross-functional teams to verify fixes.
- Experience developing and maintaining verification testbenches, test cases, and automation.
- Familiarity with mixed-signal designs and SoC architecture.
- Knowledge of analog components: ADC, DAC, PLL, oscillators, and PI controllers.
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog/UVM, Verilog, and familiarity with C/C++ and scripting (Python, Perl, Shell) for automation.
- Experience with directed and constrained-random verification, coverage-driven verification, and regression management.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; experience mentoring/leading engineering teams.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
