Engineer, Design

Role

Engineer responsible for verification of analog and mixed-signal circuits and creation of full-chip mixed-signal simulation environments where analog, digital, and firmware co-exist. The role includes schematic/behavioral model generation, device-level electrical checks, extraction and coupling checks, and power-cycle and user-mode chip-level simulations.

Key Responsibilities

• Verify analog and mixed-signal circuit designs through static and dynamic simulations.
• Generate schematic and behavioral models to enable feasible and efficient full-chip simulation.
• Perform device-level electrical rule checks (SOA, snapback, sfb, etc.).
• Conduct SPF extraction, fanout and coupling checks.
• Run power cycling simulations including power-loss and brown-out events.
• Correlate analog subsystems, digital logic, and firmware algorithms in chip-level user-mode simulations.
• Review design data sheets and generate verification plans.
• Support and collaborate with Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Marketing to optimize manufacturability, cost, quality, reliability, and time-to-market.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of MOS device physics, including second-order effects.
• Basic knowledge of analog circuits (current mirrors, bandgap references, op-amps, regulators, ADC/DAC, charge pumps).
• Familiarity with shell, Perl, and Python scripting.
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, HSPICE, XA, and co-simulation flows.
• Familiarity with HDLs: Verilog, SystemVerilog, Verilog-A, and Verilog-AMS.
• Debugging mindset with a system-level outlook and ability to adopt complex workflows.
• Proven track record of leveraging AI-assisted (vibe) coding techniques to improve efficiency or automate design and analysis methodologies.

Collaboration

• Work cross-functionally with product, test, process, assembly, and marketing teams to ensure product readiness and customer satisfaction.
