Experienced Analog Mixed-Signal Design Verification Engineer

Apple

In this role, you will take care of ensuring high quality silicon for IC chips and IPs. The workflow starts with careful review of specifications followed by crafting of a verification plan and schedule. Then the verification is executed according to plan to support tape-out
Execution of verification plans from beginning to end: test bench and environment bring-up, regressions, failure debug, and tape-out
Develop detailed test and coverage plans based on IC specifications
Develop verification methodology suitable for the IP, ensuring scalability and portability
Develop verification environment, including stimuli, checkers, assertions, trackers, and coverage
Sign-off mixed signal designs in preparation for tape-out

Bachelors in EE or related field, or equivalent work experience
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, combined with the ability to collaborate
Ability to work well on a team, take ownership and motivate self and others
Fluent English skills

Advanced knowledge of mixed signal verification
Few years of experience in industry for production integrated circuits
Experience with developments in hardware descriptive languages: Verilog, System-Verilog, and/or Verilog-AMS code
A background that includes scripting or programming languages is preferred. These include, but are not limited to, TCL, Skill, Python, and/or PERL
Familiar with analog behavioural models
Familiar with verification methodologies and tools: simulators, waveform viewers, execution automation, coverage collection, experience developing scalable and portable test cases
Possess sufficient analog IC background to identify failure possibilities, work through first order debug, and analyse analog verification results
Knowledge of analog concurrent assertion and static analyses checks is a plus
Understanding of both power management and related auxiliary circuitry: switching converters, linear converters, reference circuitry, band-gaps, data converters, and clock generators
