Senior Verification Engineer | DSP / Virtuoso

Work Type: Full‑Time | Onsite (Austin, Texas) Experience Required: 5+ Years Employment Type: Direct Hire (Core Team, Well‑Funded Startup) Sponsorship: Likely H1B/EAD eligible 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 Modeling (BM) for analog‑to‑digital verification. Hands‑on Verilog/SystemVerilog verification coding. Familiarity with Virtuoso Schematics. Basic understanding of analog design fundamentals. Preferred Qualifications Experience with UVM (Universal Verification Methodology). Background working with both Synopsys and Cadence verification tools. Understanding of advanced verification infrastructure – simulators, waveform viewers, coverage, execution automation. Proven track record of building portable/scalable test environments. Strong communication skills; ability to write test plans, document results, present to multi‑functional teams. #J-18808-Ljbffr Mogi I/O : OTT/Podcast/Short Video Apps for you
