In short
Synopsys is seeking a Sr Staff Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer in Hyderabad to lead AMS verification strategy, test plans, and sign-off for complex IP projects. This role involves building and maintaining UVM/SystemVerilog environments, debugging complex analog-digital interface issues, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure tapeout readiness.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end AMS verification strategy, test plans, coverage models, and sign-off for mixed-signal blocks and subsystems across complex IP projects
- Build and maintain UVM/SystemVerilog verification environments that integrate seamlessly with Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS behavioral models, and mixed-signal simulators
- Debug complex analog-digital interface issues, simulation convergence problems, and cross-domain failures using waveform analysis and AMS-specific debug tools
- Develop assertions, monitors, scoreboards, and automated verification infrastructure that catch real bugs
- Drive AMS simulation efficiency improvements, optimize regression flows, and reduce debug turnaround time across the verification pipeline
- Collaborate daily with analog designers, digital verification engineers, modeling teams, and architecture groups
- Mentor verification engineers on AMS methodology, review test plans and environments, and drive best practices across the team
Requirements
- 8+ years of hands-on experience in AMS verification, with a proven track record of owning verification sign-off for mixed-signal designs
- Expert-level proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, with deep understanding of testbench architecture, coverage-driven verification, and constrained-random methodologies
- Strong working knowledge of Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS for behavioral modeling and mixed-signal simulation
- Solid understanding of analog circuit behavior, including bias circuits, regulators, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, or other mixed-signal blocks
- Experience with AMS simulators (Spectre AMS, Xcelium AMS, or similar) and waveform debug tools for mixed-signal analysis
- Strong scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Tcl for automation, regression management, and infrastructure development
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with AI/ML-based verification techniques or automation frameworks is a strong plus
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
- ETO and FTO Programs
- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance
- Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24 month look-back
- Retirement plans
- Competitive salaries
