Sr Principal Mixed Signal Verification Engineer

Job Title

Sr Principal Mixed Signal Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead verification engineer in Qorvo's Power Management division responsible for verification of mixed-signal and power-management ICs (PMICs, motor drivers, power-loss protection, point-of-load, battery management).

Work with design, test, and customer teams to define and execute metric-driven verification plans, develop tests and models, and improve verification methodology. This role is available in San Jose, CA and Richardson, TX.

Experience Level

Senior - requires extensive experience. The posting asks for 15+ years of relevant AMS design or verification experience (or equivalent advanced education and experience).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning, implementing, and executing verification for complex mixed-signal power ICs and supporting team and customer needs.

• Serve as customer-facing verification lead for catalog and custom power-management ICs (motor drivers, power-loss protection, point-of-load, battery management).
• Develop and execute metric-driven verification plans from functional, performance, and test specifications, emphasizing customer use-cases.
• Create constrained-random tests and automated checkers in a TLDV UVM environment.
• Build high-performance RNM or Verilog-AMS models to support transaction-level simulation.
• Collaborate with design and test teams to identify and resolve issues and ensure first-pass testability.
• Improve and align verification methodologies with industry best practices and automate verification tasks where applicable.
• Occasional domestic or international travel (approximately 10% or less).

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience follow. Preferred items are listed separately.

Must-have:

• 15+ years experience in AMS design or verification of analog and power-management ICs (equivalent advanced education and experience acceptable).
• Proficiency with UVM environments, including test cases, coverage models, and global checkers.
• Deep knowledge of power-management building blocks: LDOs, amplifiers, bandgaps, DC-DC regulators, oscillators, and asynchronous state machines.
• Expertise with mixed-signal simulation and verification: Spice/Spectre, event-based simulators, co-simulation, simulation and silicon debug.
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, communication, and collaboration skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Top-down design methodology experience.
• Shell or Python scripting for automation.
• Familiarity with SV-UDN / EENET modeling techniques.
• Experience with both GUI and command-line simulation flows.
• Proficiency with SystemVerilog assertions and functional coverage.
• Understanding of integration of AI into verification workflows.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field with emphasis on mixed-signal circuit design and verification is required; a Master's degree in electrical engineering or related field is preferred. The posting allows equivalent advanced education and/or practical experience in lieu of degree and specifies 15+ years of relevant experience as an alternative.
