Mixed-Signal Verification Lead
Location:
Spain – Barcelona
Portugal – Lisbon / Porto
Job Description:
A Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer works with Analog and Digital design teams on interface definition, design, validation, verification and integration of mixed-signal ICs utilizing leading edge technologies with industry standard ASIC tools. Products to be designed/verified may include power management, signal management and mixed signal functions.
Essential Functions:
Responsible for design verification of mixed-signal integrated circuits, and coordination of verification with silicon test and validation.
Define mixed-signal verification strategy/plan and execute; develop test benches and modular verification components with an emphasis on usability and reuse.
Perform block-level and top level simulations and regression testing, with a clear methodology towards bug tracking and closure.
Analog-Digital Interface Definition and Documentation.
Behavioral Modelling of Analog Blocks. Analysis to verify architectural choices and trade-offs.
Assist the Digital Design Team with Timing, Input/Outputs and DFT Strategy/Constraints.
Post-Silicon Validation and Test/Characterization support.
Close interaction and collaboration with Analog Design, Analog Layout, Digital Design Engineers, Digital Verification and Digital Physical Engineers.
Qualifications:
MSEE/BSEE + 10 years of experience in mixed signal ASIC design or verification.
Experience developing mixed-signal testbenches and running Verilog-AMS mixed-mode simulations.
Verilog, System Verilog and Verilog-A coding skills for behavioral modelling.
Ability to work independently and collaborate with other teams or departments.
Solid knowledge of the full mixed-signal ASIC development and Silicon fabrication process.
Good understanding of transistor level and analog/mixed signal circuit design including device mismatches, noise, linearity and other effects.
Strong experience with simulation tools such as spectre, hspice, xcelium, and MATLAB.
Proficient use of CAD tools and methods: analog and mixed-signal simulation (i.e., Cadence ADE-L/XL or equivalent), analog regression tests.
Understanding and experience in running complex simulations such as Monte-Carlo, noise simulations and stability analysis.
Knowledge of DFT Techniques such as SCAN, LBIST, ABIST and IDDQ.
Knowledge of STA and Mixed-Signal Timing and Input/Output Constraints for Syn and P&R.
Excellent written/verbal communication skills and strong teamwork/collaboration.
Knowledge/Experience with the following is a plus:
Automotive and ASIL Standards
Knowledge of power management industry/applications
I2C, I3C, SPI, USB, PMBUS
Scripting and automation languages like Skill, TCL and Python
