TL;DR · Mixed-Signal Behavioral Modeling Engineer

Role Posting Log in to save

As a Mixed-Signal Behavioral Modeling Engineer, you will join the mixed-signal design team to model complex custom circuits for verifying system-level functionality and performance in state of the art SoCs. You will write functional models of custom mixed-signal circuits using SystemVerilog while incorporating non-idealities. Your daily responsibilities include collaborating with circuit design teams to understand hardware details, partnering with verification teams to create hooks into models, and analyzing data from circuit teams using Python or MATLAB for model fitting. You will perform profiling, run simulations, and utilize formal equivalence tools to ensure models match custom circuits accurately. The role requires expertise in digital logic gates, SystemVerilog, SPICE co-simulations, and scripting in PERL or Python. You will also address technical challenges involving PLLs, DLLs, SERDES, sensors, data-converters, and basic digital signal processing.
