Ams Verification Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India

Develop and maintain behavioral models (BMods) for analog circuits using SystemVerilog, integrate them into digital verification environments, debug AMS simulations, and collaborate with design teams. The role involves exploring and adopting AI-based tools and workflows to enhance BMod development, simulation analysis, and reporting.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop and maintain behavioral models (BMods) for complex analog circuits (e.g. SerDes, PMU, DCDC) using SystemVerilog.
  2. Support integration of BMods into the digital functional verification environment.
  3. Debug and troubleshoot issues identified during functional verification or AMS simulations.
  4. Run AMS simulations for improved coverage of AMS blocks, comparison to BMods, and full-chip power up simulations.
  5. Continuously improve modeling methodologies, simulation flows, and automation to increase team efficiency and coverage, leveraging AI-assisted tools (e.g. generative AI for code generation, AI-driven debugging, automated documentation) where applicable.

Skills

Required

  • B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • At least 5 years of relevant experience in AMS verification, behavioral modeling, or analog/mixed-signal design.
  • In-depth knowledge of SystemVerilog for hardware modeling and verification, including User Defined Net Types (UDNTs).
  • Proven experience in developing behavioral models (BMods) for analog circuits using SystemVerilog, including translating circuit behavior into code for functional verification.
  • Experience running and debugging AMS simulations using industry-standard tools (e.g. Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS-XA).
  • Strong debugging skills for identifying and resolving issues within BMods and AMS simulations.
  • Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment.
  • Ability to leverage modern AI-based tools and workflows (e.g. AI-assisted code generation, automated analysis) as part of daily modeling and verification tasks.

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with integrating BMods into digital functional verification simulation environments.
  • Experience with power management circuits: LDO, DCDC converters, bandgap references, power-on-reset.
  • Background in SerDes design or verification: TX/RX, TDC, DTC, equalization.
  • Experience with scripting and automation (Python, Tcl, SKILL) for simulation flow management and AI-augmented productivity.
  • Understanding of full-chip power up sequences and mixed-signal interaction debugging.
