• Post-Si debug

What will you be doing in this role? (Responsibilities)

As AMS DV Engineer for a project/s you are expected to:

• Develop and execute detailed pre-silicon Verification plans working closely with Systems and Applications team and Analog and Digital design teams
• Develop chip-level test-cases and behavioural models for analog blocks based on the verification plan
• Run an automated / regression based DV suite and extract key measurements based on automatic extractors and populate them on Starfish
• Work closely with design and systems teams to review / close spec gaps and design bugs, as they arise
• Implement AMS TBs in Verilog-AMS and / or Cadence Virtuoso to apply stimulus and check for pass/fail criteria
• Drive new and improved methodologies where needed, work with the EDA team to upgrade DV tools and flows
• Incorporate code-coverage, functional coverage, assertions, cover-groups etc to achieve 100% verification completeness prior to tape-out
• Participate in design reviews and create necessary design verification and product documentation
• Work with test engineers / designers to come up with optimized DFT techniques and execute pre-silicon verification of mixed-signal products
• To mentor junior engineers and interns.
