Responsibilities
Define and implement a modern AMS SoC verification methodology using industry-best practices, automation, and coverage-driven techniques
Architect and grow an enterprise-wide verification platform leveraging best-in-class EDA tools, standardized flows, and scalable infrastructure
Collaborate closely with design and verification leaders across the company to drive continuous improvement
Bridge the gap between Design and Test with scalable methodologies to verify test program prior to tape-out and driving traceability all the way from requirements to ATE
Drive adoption of reusable Verification IP (VIP) and establish common libraries, models, and testbench components to improve consistency and efficiency across teams
Research, evaluate, and deploy AI/ML tools and techniques to enhance verification quality, predict bugs earlier, enable intelligent coverage closure, and improve overall efficiency
Develop and enforce verification quality metrics, including functional coverage, mixed-signal assertions, and convergence criteria to prevent functional escapes
Develop a high-performing verification team, mentor engineers, and foster a culture of innovation, and technical excellence
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
20+ years of experience in delivering best in class mixed-signal verification solutions in complex SoCs in both individual contributor and leadership roles
Expert-level knowledge of analog, digital, and mixed-signal SoC verification methodologies, including UVM, real‑number modeling, AMS simulation techniques, and metric‑driven verification
Strong understanding of complex SoC integration, mixed-signal interfaces, behavioral modeling, and end‑to‑end verification flows
Hands-on proficiency with industry-leading verification tools and platforms, including mixed-signal simulators, waveform analysis tools, regression systems, and enterprise-scale verification infrastructure
Proven ability to design and standardize enterprise verification environments, including reusable VIP, shared libraries and frameworks to continuously verify the model against design
Deep familiarity with AI/ML technologies applied to verification, such as generation of verification harness from specs, end-to-end RCA, model generation and agentic flows that provide a true top-down verification system
Demonstrated experience building, scaling, and mentoring high-performing verification teams, including hiring senior technical talent and establishing a culture of rigor and technical excellence
Proficiency in automation and scripting—especially Python—to build scalable regression systems, tool integration, data pipelines, and workflow automation that improves team efficiency and quality
Excellent cross-functional communication and leadership skills, enabling effective alignment with analog design, digital design, architecture, test engineering, and EDA/tool teams
Preferred
Experience with formal verification, including property checking, assertion development, and formal methods to complement simulation-based verification
Experience with emulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Veloce, Zebu) to validate mixed-signal subsystems and accelerate system-level verification
Background in functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508), including safety analysis, FMEDA inputs, and verification practices targeting safety-critical SoCs
