Principal Mixed Signal Design Verification Engineer

The Advanced Optical Sensors business provides market-leading sensor solutions that improve the human experience and well-being by sensing types of light both visible and invisible to the human eye. Key AOS applications include ambient light and proximity sensors; 1D Time-of-Flight, spectral sensors, bio sensors, as well as active noise cancelation (ANC).

• Responsible for design verification and validation of integrated circuits, using both directed tests and constrained random regressions
• Primary focus is on mixed signal design verification, but proficiency with digital design verification (including UVM) is an advantage
• Creation and validation of System Verilog models for mixed signal circuit blocks
• Proficiency in System Verilog including: writing checkers and assertions, customizing constraints, getting functional coverage collection using cover groups, etc.
• Experience running analog (SPICE) and digital simulators are a strong advantages.
• Technical and team leadership both within the internal project DV team, but also directly supporting demanding customers
• Creation of test benches and automated verification simulations
• Performing block level and top level design verification
• Generation of relevant documentation (DV Plan, DV execution plan, customer reviews, etc.)

• Masters degree in Electrical Engineering with 15 years of experience including at least 5 years in team or technology leadership role with an emphasis in analog/mixed-signal verification
• Experience with technical leadership in mixed signal design verification, block level model specifications, simulation, system verilog real number modeling, etc.
• System Verilog / UVM based DV experience
• Collaborative and respectful team player with mentoring skills, and passionate about the teams success
• Excellent communication skills (both oral and written) are required, as customer level technical interface and design / team leadership is necessary sometimes under high pressure situations.
• Experience with relevant CAD tools (including Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE, etc.)
• Ability to read analog schematics and extract related main functionality.
• Experience modeling mixed signal/RF blocks including biasing networks, power regulators, bandgaps, Opamps, OTAs, data converters, LNA, PA, mixers, couplers, splitters, combiners, etc
• Excellent team player as the role requires internal team leadership.
