Role Posting Log in to save

The Mixed-Signal Behavioral Modeling Engineer joins the mixed-signal design team to model complex custom circuits for verifying system-level functionality and performance in advanced SoCs. The role involves writing functional models of custom mixed-signal circuits in SystemVerilog that incorporate non-idealities while collaborating with circuit design and verification teams. Day-to-day responsibilities include analyzing data from circuit teams using Python or MATLAB, profiling model performance, and running simulations and formal equivalence tools to ensure accuracy against custom circuits. The position also involves enhancing modeling methodologies, improving functional coverage, and optimizing modeling flows. Required skills include expertise in SystemVerilog, digital logic gates, clocking, state elements, and SPICE co-simulations. Candidates should be proficient in Python or PERL for automation and possess knowledge of PLLs, DLLs, SERDES, sensors, data-converters, and basic digital signal processing.
