Responsibilities
Define, develop and optimize comprehensive verification plans and test strategies for digital IP blocks, subsystems, and full integrated circuits in mixed-signal products. Work closely with design teams to understand micro-architecture and functional specifications. Create and maintain detailed test plans, coverage models, and verification environments. Drive coverage closure including functional, code, and assertion-based coverage. Generate technical documentation and drive verification reviews. (30%)
Design and implement UVM testbench environments using SystemVerilog for digital IP blocks, subsystems, and full-chip verification. Perform block and chip-level RTL and gate-level verification of digital logic interfacing with analog peripherals via behavioral models provided by the analog team. Develop constrained-random verification environments, directed test cases, and reusable verification components (drivers, monitors, scoreboards, coverage models). Debug complex simulation failures and identify root causes in RTL or verification environments. Improve verification scalability and reuse across projects through environment enhancement and tool automation. Build and maintain regression infrastructure, continuous integration flows, and coverage tracking. (30%)
Interface with system, digital hardware, embedded firmware, analog and cross functional teams. (10%)
Supervise and mentor junior verification engineers. (15%)
Drive adoption of advanced verification methodologies, best practices and tool evaluation. (5%)
Support silicon lab evaluation, performance characterization and debug. (5%)
Technical support to test, product and application engineers. (5%)
Minimum Qualifications
8+ years of industry experience in integrated circuit design verification (DV)
In-depth knowledge and experience in digital IC verification for mixed-signal ICs with MCU based hardware systems (ARM, RISC-V, PIC, STM32) with memories, custom digital micro-architecture, interfaces, dedicated hardware peripherals, embedded signal processing, external IPs, and analog peripherals.
Proficiency in SystemVerilog as a high-level verification language with strong UVM implementation skills, Verilog for RTL comprehension and gate-level debug, Python scripting for verification automation, and industry-leading EDA verification tools (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Siemens Questa).
Experience with standard hardware protocols (I2C, I3C, SPI, MIPI)
Strong analytical, synthesis and problem solving skills
Demonstration of technical leadership
Independent, self-motivated, rigorous, innovating, team player and able to follow through
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering
Desired Qualifications
Familiarity consuming analog behavioral models (SV-RNM, Verilog-AMS) provided by analog design teams to verify digital control logic and mixed-signal interfaces
Formal verification experience using JasperGold, Synopsys VC Formal, or equivalent (property checking, FSM verification, protocol compliance)
Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) and Reset Domain Crossing (RDC) sign-off experience using SpyGlass CDC, JasperGold CDC, or equivalent
Low-power verification experience including UPF/CPF for power domain management — relevant for battery-powered consumer applications
Lint and structural sign-off experience (SpyGlass Lint or equivalent)
Knowledge of system-level integration: digital hardware, embedded firmware, signal processing concepts
Experience with capacitive sensing, touch, or proximity ICs
