At NXP, we create technologies that make the connected world better, safer, and more secure. Within the Advanced Power System team, we are looking for a Senior AMS Verification Engineer to lead mixed-signal verification activities for advanced automotive and industrial products. You will define verification strategies, improve methodologies, collaborate with global expert teams, and help deliver robust silicon with a strong Total Quality mindset.

In this role, you will contribute to complex NXP projects from specification review to silicon correlation, with ownership of key AMS verification deliverables.

• Lead AMS verification activities and guide engineers toward successful project delivery.
• Define verification plans, strategies, environments, regressions, and coverage objectives.
• Develop and validate mixed-signal simulation environments, behavioural models, checkers, assertions, and reusable verification components.
• Bridge digital verification and mixed-signal verification flows for robust top-level verification.
• Drive methodology improvements to increase simulation efficiency, reuse, quality, and cost effectiveness.
• Support design reviews, bug tracking, post-silicon correlation, and continuous improvement across projects.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in AMS or mixed-signal IC verification.
• Strong experience leading verification activities for complex ASIC or mixed-signal IC projects.
• Solid knowledge of analog fundamentals, digital RTL debug, co-simulation, and mixed-signal verification methodologies.
• Hands-on experience with verification plans, testbenches, regressions, coverage, reviews, and bug closure.
• Experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, SVA, Verilog-AMS, SystemC, WREAL/RNM modelling, and EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Xcelium, Spectre, and vManager.
• Good scripting skills in Python, Perl, or TCL, and experience with Git, SVN, or DesignSync.

• Experience with automotive, industrial, safety-oriented, power management, or power application products.

• Analytical mindset, strong ownership, and structured problem-solving skills.
• Clear communication and collaboration skills in international, multidisciplinary teams.
• Commitment to Total Quality, continuous improvement, and customer-focused delivery.

NXP is a global semiconductor leader enabling a smarter, safer, and more connected world. You will join a diverse and inclusive environment that values innovation, learning, collaboration, and individual growth, while contributing directly to advanced mixed-signal products and silicon quality.

If you enjoy solving complex verification challenges and working with bright minds to make a real impact, we would be pleased to hear from you. Together, we are NXP.
