Design Verification Engineer | Switching Regulators

Change the world. Love your job.
 

We are seeking a talented Analog Design Verification Engineer to join our Switching Regulators group. In this role, you will be part of a Design Verification team responsible for verifying high-performance analog power ICs. Our team builds automated testbenches to verify logical functionality, electrical parameters, performance, and reliability of custom high-volume chips. We strive for continuous improvement in our tools and methodologies, and believe in fostering a culture of engineering precision and efficiency, ownership of decisions, and educating one another.

This is a great opportunity to be part of an established team that's continuing to look for growth opportunities, working with worldwide leading customers and developing cutting edge solutions for power management circuits in a variety of industries, including data center and automotive applications.

Responsibilities

• Execute pre-silicon verification of complex analog IC products. Build testbench and automation solutions that are scalable, supporting SystemVerilog stimulus and checkers to verify device behavior before tapeout
• Verify analog designs to work according to the datasheet, system-level use cases, design-for-test features, and usability from a customer and bench/ATE perspective
• Work with design teams and systems teams to provide guidance on Design for Verification architecture during chip development, triage and close bugs as they arise, and elaborate and clarify datasheet and functional specifications
• Create and maintain behavioral models of analog circuits 
• Collaborate with validation and test engineering teams to enable successful transfer to production
• Contribute to verification methodologies in order to improve execution efficiency, reduce simulation times, and ensure limited silicon bugs
• Make assignments for team members, providing guidance as needed, developing schedules, and monitoring progress throughout the project

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5+ years of relevant experience, including significant experience in analog IC design verification

Preferred qualifications:

• Solid analog design knowledge with the capability to understand and explain circuit operation at the schematic level
• Excellent debug skills, with high attention to detail for analog behaviors
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
• Strong understanding of analog verification flows (AMS / TLDV) and modeling of analog blocks
• Experience creating and maintaining tools and scripts for automation related to design, verification, simulation, data collection, and analysis
• Experience with switching power converters and various control topologies, such as peak current mode control and constant on time architectures
• Experience with Digital Verification and SystemVerilog/UVM
• Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders, both internally and externally
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to quickly ramp on new systems and processes
• Demonstrated strong interpersonal, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
• Ability to take initiative and drive for results
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
