Full Job Description
Senior Principal Verification Engineer
• Design and architect mixed-signal verification environments, including Real Number Model (RNM) and AMS (Analog Mixed Signal) model integration for PMIC designs
• Develop and implement comprehensive verification plans and strategies for automotive PMIC products, ensuring compliance with automotive safety standards (ISO 26262, AEC-Q200)
• Set up and optimize Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) flows, correlating with RTL simulation results to identify and resolve discrepancies
• Lead debugging activities for complex analog blocks including switched-mode regulators, Linear Dropout (LDO) regulators, and mixed-signal interfaces
• Conduct in-depth RTL and Gate-Level simulations, analyzing timing, power, and functional correctness across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams: Design, Application Engineering, ATE (Automatic Test Equipment), and Silicon Validation to ensure seamless verification handoffs
• Mentor and lead junior verification engineers, defining best practices and establishing verification methodologies
• Troubleshoot and debug complex design issues involving interactions between analog and digital domains using simulation and measurement techniques
• Drive continuous improvement of verification tools, methodologies, and infrastructure, evaluating emerging verification technologies and AI-based solutions
• Create and maintain comprehensive verification documentation, test plans, and coverage metrics
Qualifications
• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 15+ years of experience in mixed-signal or analog circuit verification
• Deep understanding of all aspects of mixed-signal verification environment architecture and implementation
• Hands-on experience with Real Number Model (RNM) and AMS (Analog Mixed Signal) model integration
• Proficiency in RTL and behavioral simulation tools (e.g., Spectre, Xcelium)
• Strong understanding of Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) flows and ability to set up and debug GLS simulations
• Proven expertise debugging both analog blocks (switched-mode regulators, LDO, bandgap, reference circuits) and digital RTL
• Experience with automotive PMIC or power management IC design and verification
• Proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and/or SPICE-based languages
• Solid understanding of verification methodologies: UVM, assertions, coverage-driven verification
• Experience interfacing with multiple verification domains: functional, post-silicon, ATE test correlation
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills with strong analytical mindset
• Leadership and mentoring experience
