About the Role:

We are looking for a highly skilled mixed-signal Design Engineer to lead top-level mixed-signal verification activities and drive the definition and deployment of robust mixed-signal design methodologies across analog and digital design teams.

The ideal candidate combines strong mixed-signal verification expertise with solid custom digital design experience and a deep understanding of analog/digital integration challenges from architecture definition through silicon bring-up.

This role requires close collaboration with analog IC designers, digital implementation teams, verification engineers, and silicon bring-up teams to ensure a seamless and scalable mixed-signal development flow.

Key Responsibilities

Mixed-Signal Verification

• Define, develop, and execute top-level mixed-signal (analog/digital) verification environments for complex mixed-signal SoCs and IPs.
• Develop and maintain verification strategies covering analog, digital, and mixed-signal interactions.
• Ensure functional correctness and performance validation of mixed-signal systems across behavioral and transistor-level simulations.
• Drive regression methodologies and verification coverage for mixed-signal designs.
• Debug complex mixed-signal simulation and integration issues.

Methodology and Flow Development

• Define, deploy, and align mixed-signal verification methodologies and simulation flows with the digital verification team.
• Establish scalable and reusable mixed-signal verification infrastructures.
• Improve simulation performance and convergence through appropriate abstraction and modeling techniques.
• Drive best practices for mixed-signal integration, verification, and model management.
• Participate in technology, supplier, and EDA tool evaluations and selection.

Full-Custom Digital Design

• Design and implement full-custom digital blocks used in mixed-signal systems, including:
• Sequencers
• High-speed ADC digital counters
• Timing-critical digital control logic
• Calibration and control state machines
• Collaborate with analog designers to optimize partitioning between analog and digital domains.
• Support synthesis-independent custom digital implementations when required by performance or power constraints.

Modeling and Behavioral Development

• Develop and maintain analog behavioral models in Verilog-A and Verilog.
• Create accurate and simulation-efficient models for mixed-signal verification.
• Mentor and support analog designers in developing behavioral models and adopting mixed-signal verification methodologies.
• Promote modeling standards and reusable verification components across projects.

Silicon Bring-Up Support

• Ensure verification environments are aligned with post-silicon bring-up and validation methodologies.
• Support silicon debug activities through model correlation and testbench reuse.
• Collaborate with validation and test engineers to improve observability and debug efficiency.

Qualifications

Education

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or Physics or related field.

Experience

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in CMOS image sensors or mixed-signal SoCs.
• Strong experience in mixed-signal IC design and verification.
• Solid understanding of analog and digital integration challenges.
• Expertise with mixed-signal simulation environments and methodologies.
• Strong experience with:
• Verilog-A
• Verilog/SystemVerilog
• AMS simulation flows
• Mixed-signal verification methodologies
• Experience designing full-custom digital circuits for mixed-signal applications.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with analog, digital, and validation teams.
• Experience with version control systems such as Cliosoft SOS, and Git or SVN.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with high-speed ADCs, DACs and PLL and SerDes interfaces such as MIPI, LVDS.
• Experience with UVM and digital verification environments.
• Familiarity with silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation.
• Knowledge of low-power and high-performance mixed-signal architectures.
• Experience defining or improving company-wide mixed-signal methodologies.
• Understanding of task estimation, planning, and development execution in collaborative engineering environments.
• Familiarity with Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Development/Deployment (CD) flows and associated tools.

Soft Skills

• Creative and proactive mindset with strong attention to detail.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills across multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, innovation-driven start-up environment.
• Strong sense of ownership and commitment to design quality and execution.
