Key Responsibilities
- Perform behavioral modeling (BM) of analog designs to enable digital verification.
- Conduct mixed-signal dynamic verification (without AMS) using chip-level digital design tools.
- Write, simulate, and debug Verilog/SystemVerilog code for verification.
- Use Cadence Virtuoso Schematics to interface with analog designs.
- Develop test plans, verification strategies, and scalable testbench automation.
- Collaborate with DSP, analog, and digital engineering teams to validate high-speed designs.
- Present verification results, maintain coverage metrics, and ensure first-pass success in silicon.
- 5+ years of mixed-signal verification experience.
- Strong background in Behavioral Modelling (BM) for analog-to-digital verification.
- Hands-on Verilog/SystemVerilog verification coding.
- Familiarity with Virtuoso Schematics. Basic understanding of analog design fundamentals.
- Experience with UVM (Universal Verification Methodology).
- Background working with both Synopsys and Cadence verification tools.
- Understanding of advanced verification infrastructure – simulators, waveform viewers, coverage, execution automation.
- Proven track record of building portable/scalable test environments.
- Strong communication skills; ability to write test plans, document results, present to multi-functional teams.
