Full Job Posting
Responsibilities
- Verification Strategy & Ownership
- Own block-level and full-chip digital verification strategy for power, analog, and mixed-signal IC products.
- Develop verification plans from product and design specifications, including feature extraction, test intent, coverage goals, assumptions, and sign-off criteria.
- Decompose complex functions into reusable verification components and scalable environments.
- Identify specification gaps and drive closure with architecture, analog design, digital design, applications, and test teams.
- Environment Development & Execution
- Design and develop SystemVerilog/UVM-based testbenches, agents, scoreboards, reference models, assertions, sequences, and coverage models.
- Set up verification flows from scratch where needed and own regression execution, triage, debug, and closure.
- Apply simulation, assertion-based verification, formal verification, and FPGA or emulation techniques where they provide practical value.
- Verify digital behavior across reset, clock, power-state, fault, trim, communication, test-mode, and analog-interaction scenarios.
- Mixed-Signal, DFT & Post-layout Support
- Collaborate with analog and digital teams to define appropriate models and verify analog-digital interactions at the required abstraction level.
- Support DFT verification, scan and ATPG-related checks, production-test vector development, and test-mode verification.
- Support gate-level simulation, timing-aware verification, and post-layout verification where required.
- Contribute to silicon bring-up, device evaluation, root-cause analysis, and documented workarounds for device errata.
- Technical Leadership & Methodology
- Drive reusable verification methodology, automation, metrics, documentation, and review standards across projects.
- Mentor and train verification engineers through reviews, debug support, and technical guidance.
- Provide concise status, coverage, risk, and sign-off assessments to project and technical leadership.
- Influence architecture and design choices by identifying verification complexity, observability gaps, and product risks early.
