What You’ll Do Develop and execute mixed-signal verification plans for high-current IVR designs. Build and maintain analog behavioral models (Verilog-A / SystemVerilog real-number modeling) for power stages, integrated inductors, PDN, and analog blocks. Perform analog-digital co-simulation using industry-standard tools (Cadence Xcelium + Spectre, Synopsys VCS + FineSim / CustomSim, or AMS Designer). Verify digital control loops Create testbenches for key performance metrics: transient response (load steps), loop stability, efficiency, ripple, over-current / over-voltage protection, and startup/shutdown sequences. Run regressions across PVT corners, Monte-Carlo analysis, and corner-case scenarios. Debug mixed-signal issues at both transistor-level and behavioral level. Collaborate closely with analog designers, digital designers, and system engineers to close verification coverage. Develop automated verification scripts and improve verification methodology for faster turnaround. Support post-silicon validation by correlating simulation results with lab measurements.

What We’re Looking For 5+ years of hands-on experience in mixed-signal verification of power management ICs or analog/mixed-signal SoCs. Strong proficiency in mixed-signal simulation flows: Real Number Modeling (RNM) and Verilog-A behavioral modeling Analog-digital co-simulation (AMS, VCS + Spectre, Xcelium) Solid understanding of power converter topologies (buck, multi-phase, 3-level buck, switched-capacitor converters). Good knowledge of digital control concepts for power converters (PID controllers, DPWM, digital feedback loops). Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for system-level modeling and testbench reference generation. Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM for digital/mixed-signal testbenches. Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, or Synopsys CustomSim for analog simulation. Understanding of analog non-idealities (quantization effects, loop delay, sensor offsets, PDN resonances, inductor non-linearities). BSEE / MSEE with 8+ years relevant experience.

Nice to Have Experience verifying high-frequency IVRs, PoL regulators, or high-current power delivery systems. Experience with SIMPLIS, PLECS, or Simulink for system-level power electronics validation. Familiarity with digital PID controller verification and fixed-point arithmetic effects. Exposure to advanced packaging and on-die inductor modeling. Scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Tcl for automation.
