Sr. Principal AMS Verification Engineer

Responsibilities

• Perform end-to-end analog/mixed-signal verification of RF Front End Modules (FEM), from block-level through full-chip integration, leveraging schematic, behavioral, and functional views to achieve comprehensive coverage while meeting project schedules.
• Develop Verilog-A and SystemVerilog RNM behavioral models for analog and mixed-signal circuits.
• Perform equivalence checks to validate behavioral models match circuits.
• Define and execute verification plans derived directly from product specifications.
• Partner closely with design teams to develop deep understanding of custom circuits, providing verification feedback on functionality and performance.
• Recommend test hooks to strengthen verification and improve Design for Test (DFT).
• Review layout and floorplans to proactively identify and resolve issues.
• Continuously improve verification methodologies with an emphasis on scalability, reusability, and portability across programs.
• Own mixed-signal verification sign-off in preparation for tapeout.
• Optimize models to ensure accuracy while maintaining efficient simulation performance.
• Document modeling and verification methodologies, and promote best practices across teams and programs.
• Stay current with industry trends and emerging techniques in analog and mixed-signal modeling and verification.
