Job Title: Mixed Signal Verification Engineer

Duration: Permanent, Full-time

Location: Hillsboro, OR - (Hybrid: onsite 3 days per week)

Pay Range: $101,000 to $170,000 per year

**Candidates must have valid U.S. work authorization at the time of hire. Visa support available via H1 transfer only **

Our client, a leader in the test-and-measurement and wireless communications industries, is seeking passionate individuals with a vision for the future, a desire to make an impact, and a drive to turn innovative ideas into reality. They are building development teams to design the next generation of mixed-signal communication systems. The team is currently seeking a skilled and motivated Mixed Signal Verification Engineer to help develop and execute comprehensive verification plans, ensuring the accuracy and performance of both analog and digital components in advanced mixed-signal systems.

Position Description:

The ideal candidate will have over 2 years of experience in mixed-signal verification using tools such as Virtuoso, Xcelium, AMS-Designer, and Spectre, along with at least 2 years of experience working with System Verilog UVM. Familiarity with verifying multi-lane SERDES interfaces, such as PCIe, is required, as well as experience creating self-checking test benches for automatic regression testing.

The role requires a self-driven individual who can work independently while coordinating effectively with block designers. Strong scripting skills in languages like Matlab, bash/tcsh, TCL, Python, Perl, and make are essential for working across tool boundaries. The ability to work effectively in a team setting, sharing expertise, providing and receiving feedback, and collaborating to resolve technical issues is critical. Excellent communication skills are necessary for interacting with both team members and external partners.

The position will occasionally require travel to locations in Europe and the U.S. Additionally, candidates must be current U.S. residents with valid work authorization.

Position Responsibilities:

• Develop top-down mixed signal verification strategies for state-of-the-art SoCs, ASICs, and IP blocks containing high speed digital circuits and sensitive analog/RF circuits.
• Development of automated test benches and simulation result evaluation tools for top-down block verification.
• Perform actual verification work using the test benches and strategies developed.
• Development of tools for automated generation of verification reports and regression management.
• Integration and support of analog and digital designers developing Verilog-A, behavioral models into full system verification suites.
• Ensure validity and optimize performance of designer behavioral models. Ensure correct use of connect modules.
• Work with system architect to develop system tests, stimulating SoC from IC boundary, to ensure functionality with all types of data in all modes of operation.
• Develop automatic regression of verification suites using Cadence AMS Designer verification flow in Xcelium.

Position Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical and Computer Engineering.
• A minimum of 4+ years of relevant work experience with Master's, or 6+ relevant work experience with Bachelor's degree.
• 2+ years of mixed signal verification experience (Virtuoso, Xcelium, AMS-Designer, Spectre)
• 2+ years of System Verilog UVM experience
• Experience with verifying multi-lane SERDES interfaces (e.g. PCIe)
• Experience creating self-checking test benches for automatic regression testing.
• Self-driven, able to work independently while coordinating with block designers
• Strong scripting skills for working across tool boundaries, such as Matlab, bash/tcsh, TCL, Python, Perl, and make.
• Work effectively in a group setting (share expertise, provide and receive feedback, communicate technical issues, work in a team environment to resolve technical issues)
• Candidates must be able to communicate effectively with both team members and external partners.
• Candidates must be able to travel occasionally to European and U.S. locations.
• Candidates must be current US residents with valid work authorization.
