About this role
Job title: Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer
About the Role Join Skyworks to verify analog and mixed-signal building blocks for SOCs, with a focus on portable, ultra-low power audio markets. You will participate in building and validating a mixed-signal verification infrastructure, collaborating with the design team to ensure all functional and performance requirements are met. Our culture values curiosity, collaboration, and a meaningful impact on how the world communicates.
What You'll Do
- Verify analog and mixed-signal building blocks for SOCs, with emphasis on portable, ultra-low power audio markets.
- Participate in all aspects of mixed-signal design verification, partnering with the design engineering team to develop and implement a verification infrastructure to verify all functional and performance requirements.
What We're Looking For
- 6+ years (BSEE) or 4+ years (MSEE) or 3+ years (PhD) of relevant industry experience.
- Insatiable curiosity to learn about new circuit architectures to advance ultra-low power audio devices.
- Solid foundation in network theory, amplifier design and data converters.
- Experience developing RNM behavioral models using SystemVerilog/VerilogAMS for analog blocks like PLLs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs.
- Experience developing and maintaining chip level performance simulations of mixed-signal SOC designs.
- Ability to create and maintain mixed signal verification plans based on early system specifications or incomplete design definitions.
- Competent in the Cadence Virtuoso environment to setup and execute parameterized simulations of analog and SOC designs.
- Experienced in producing detailed technical reports and documentation.
- Experienced in Low-power audio amplifiers (Class D), audio converters, audio interfaces (I2S, PDM), and audio performance metrics (Dynamic Range, SNR, THD).
- Experienced in flow automation using Python, Matlab, Ocean, Perl, Csh, Make, etc.
- Simulation performance and accuracy trade-offs based on design requirements.
- Hands-on verification of sub-45nm CMOS SOC designs.
- Power-aware mixed-signal verification.
Nice to Have
- Experience in Low-power audio amplifiers (Class D), audio converters, audio interfaces (I2S, PDM), and audio performance metrics is highly preferred.
