Responsibilities
- Be part of a hands-on development team that promotes engineering excellence, creativity, and innovation.
- Develop accurate, simulation-efficient analog and mixed-signal behavioral models (RNM) in SystemVerilog.
- Verify that behavioral models accurately represent analog schematics and design intent.
- Integrate analog behavioral models with RTL environments.
- Verify analog and mixed-signal functionality against specifications using: SystemVerilog testbenches, Test scenarios, Assertions, including Analog Assertion-Based Verification.
- Support verification of blocks such as filters, ADC/DAC, VCO, A/DPLL, SerDes, LNA, mixers, and related AMS IP.
- Debug verification failures across analog, digital, and mixed-signal domains.
- Develop and maintain verification infrastructure including testbenches, environments, and scripts.
- Document modeling assumptions, verification methodology, and results for formal design and verification reviews.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with design, systems, and IP teams to understand constraints and ensure verification coverage.
