About The Client
Our client is a Series-D semiconductor innovator, specializing in programmable coherent DSP solutions powering cloud and AI infrastructure. Their breakthrough DSP technology is foundational to high-speed data center interconnects — enabling faster, more efficient cloud and AI communications. Backed by $180MM investment from Kleiner Perkins, Spark Capital, Mayfield, and Fidelity, this firm is out of stealth and scaling rapidly to support the future of AI-driven connectivity.
Job Overview
The role focuses on mixed-signal verification for advanced DSP-based communication and AI interconnect chips. You’ll develop behavioral models for analog blocks, run mixed-signal dynamic verification, and collaborate with world-class analog and digital design teams to validate next-gen coherent DSP solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Perform behavioral modeling (BM) of analog designs to enable digital verification.
Conduct mixed-signal dynamic verification (without AMS) using chip-level digital design tools.
Write, simulate, and debug Verilog/SystemVerilog code for verification.
Use Cadence Virtuoso Schematics to interface with analog designs.
Develop test plans, verification strategies, and scalable testbench automation.
Collaborate with DSP, analog, and digital engineering teams to validate high-speed designs.
Present verification results, maintain coverage metrics, and ensure first-pass success in silicon.
Minimum Qualifications
5+ years of mixed-signal verification experience.
Strong background in Behavioral Modelling (BM) for analog-to-digital verification.
