About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in advanced verification methodologies, owning verification of complex digital and mixed-signal designs.
  • A degree-level qualification in electrical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, computer science, or equivalent.
  • Strong fundamentals in analog and mixed-signal circuit concepts and topologies.
  • Experience with mixed-signal verification environments, simulation, and regression tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Xcelium, Incisive, vManager, and IMC.
  • Ability to read analog schematics and extract their main functionality.
  • Familiarity with Verilog-based RTL coding and ASIC design methodology.
  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog and advanced verification methodologies, including assertions, constrained randomization, metric-driven verification, and UVM.
  • Familiarity with behavioral modeling of analog blocks using SystemVerilog (RNM) and Verilog-AMS.
  • Experience modeling mixed-signal blocks, including biasing networks, power regulators, bandgaps, simple amplifiers, comparators, data converters, mixers, multiplexers, switches, and power converters.
  • Knowledge of UNIX shell scripting, Perl, and TCL scripting.
  • Experience writing verification plans and developing test benches, including simulation and debugging.
  • Ability to communicate technical recommendations clearly and build alignment based on technical facts.
  • Ability to support technical discussions with internal stakeholders, customers, or partners when required.
  • Ability to take responsibility for solutions and carry them through.
  • Analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to deliver on time under tight schedule pressure.
  • Ability to propose innovative solutions.
  • Cross-cultural awareness and sensitivity.

Responsibilities

  • Execute and own assigned design verification activities that support first-pass silicon success and confirm compliance with performance, power, and schedule requirements.
  • Own or contribute to analog and mixed-signal verification of integrated circuits or subsystems.
  • Collaborate with AMS DV team members and local contract DV resources on assigned verification activities.
  • Contribute to verification strategies for mixed-signal IPs and implement verification IP using object-oriented programming principles and methodologies, including UVM.
  • Plan verification; maintain verification assets; extract features; and develop verification tests, coverage, and checkers.
  • Develop efficient, reusable verification environments and testbench structures.
  • Participate in technical reviews with analog and digital design, systems, test, validation, and verification teams.
  • Debug RTL to understand design intent and collaborate with cross-functional teams on verification activities.
  • Provide technical guidance and support to verification team members within assigned areas of expertise.
  • Deliver high-quality verification plans, environments, tests, checkers, and coverage within agreed project schedules.
  • Identify verification risks, communicate issues promptly, and contribute to mitigation plans.
  • Achieve verification completeness against approved specifications and coverage goals.
  • Develop reusable verification components and improve verification efficiency.
  • Provide clear technical documentation and share relevant knowledge with the verification team.
  • Collaborate with design, systems, test, validation, and other verification engineers.
  • Demonstrate Renesas values in all aspects of work.
  • Look for continuous improvement in personal and company work practices.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience modeling power converters.
