About the Role
NXP Semiconductors is seeking a talented and highly motivated AMS Verification Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be responsible for the verification of complex Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) integrated circuits, ensuring their functionality, performance, and reliability meet stringent product specifications.
Job Responsibilities
•Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) blocks and systems, including identifying critical design features and potential failure modes.
•Create and maintain advanced verification environments using SystemVerilog, UVM, and other industry-standard methodologies.
•Develop and implement efficient testbenches, test cases, and assertion-based verification (ABV) for AMS designs.
•Perform mixed-signal simulations (e.g., AMS, Spice, Fast Spice) and analyze results to identify and debug design issues.
•Collaborate closely with design engineers to understand architectural specifications and provide feedback on design for verifiability.
•Develop and automate regression testing procedures to ensure continuous verification coverage.
•Generate detailed verification reports, including coverage metrics, bug tracking, and sign-off documentation.
•Participate in design reviews, contributing expertise in verification strategies and methodologies.
•Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in AMS verification tools and techniques.
Job Qualifications
•Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
•8+ years of experience in AMS verification for complex ICs.
•Strong understanding of analog circuit design fundamentals (e.g., op-amps, ADCs, DACs, PLLs).
•Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM for mixed-signal verification.
•Hands-on experience with mixed-signal simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Xcelium, QuestaSim).
•Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, Tcl) for test automation and data analysis.
•Familiarity with assertion-based verification (ABV) techniques.
•Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
•Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
•Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) is a plus.
•Knowledge of industry standards and methodologies for functional safety (e.g., ISO 26262) is a plus.
