Mixed Signal Ip Verification Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India

Performs functional verification of mixed signal logic components, including analog behavioral modeling, to ensure design will meet specification requirements. Develops IP verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to ensure coverage to confirm to mixed signal microarchitecture specifications. Executes verification plans and defines and runs system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and timing, and uncover bugs. Replicates, root causes, and debugs issues in the presilicon environment. Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests. Collaborates with digital and analog architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features and to meet functional, performance, and power goals. Documents test plans and drives technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams. Maintains and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology. Requires BS/MS with 10+ years of experience in Design verification, System Verilog and OVM/UVM. Experience in validation flow, testbench architecture, verification closure, debug, coverage, simulations, and GLS is essential. Knowledge of DDRPHY validation, DFI/DDR/LPDDR protocols, Python/Perl scripting, Formal Property Verification, and Git is preferred. Exposure to AI tools like GitHub CoPilot is a plus.
