Staff AMS Verification Engineer in Edinburgh

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Staff AMS Verification Engineer to join our hardware development team. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the functional correctness and robustness of complex analog and mixed-signal ASIC designs through advanced verification methodologies. You will work closely with architects, designers, DFT, and other verification engineers to deliver high-quality silicon solutions.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for complex mixed-signal ASIC designs.
• Create and maintain testbenches using Schematic/SystemVerilog/UVM.
• Write and debug test cases to verify functionality, performance, and corner cases.
• Perform block-level and full-chip verification, including simulation, coverage analysis, and regression run/debug.
• Collaborate with design and DFT engineers to understand specifications and identify verification requirements.
• Analyze and resolve issues found during verification and post-silicon validation.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to improving verification processes and infrastructure.
• Participate in reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of design and verification practices.
• Develop abstracted real number behavioral models of analog circuits using Verilog, System Verilog, Verilog AMS.
• Define and maintain appropriate hierarchy definitions to match verification plan requirements.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in analog and/or mixed-signal design verification.
• Strong proficiency in Virtuoso, SystemVerilog, UVM, and simulation tools (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium).
• Solid understanding of analog and digital design fundamentals, schematic transistor design, RTL design, and ASIC development flows.
• Experience with scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl) for automation.
• Familiarity with coverage-driven verification and reporting.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
• Experience with version control systems and CI/CD workflows.
