PMU Design Verification Engineer: Analog & Mixed Signal Engineer
Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA, United States
Cupertino, California, United States Hardware
Description
As a member of the analog and mixed signal verification team, you will be working with specialists for full-chip verification of the state-of-the-art mixed-signal systems used in Apple’s world-leading products.
Responsibilities
Ensure high quality silicon for IC chips and IPs through pre‑silicon verification of mixed-signal IC designs using analog circuits and RTL in the same simulation.
Write verification plans, run simulations, triage issues, and review results with the team.
Develop detailed test and coverage plans based on IC specifications.
Complete verification plans from beginning to end: test bench and environment bring‑up, regressions, failure debug, and tape‑out.
Develop verification methodology suitable for the IP, ensuring scalability and portability.
Create verification environment, including stimuli, checkers, assertions, trackers, and coverage.
Sign‑off mixed‑signal designs in preparation for tape‑out.
Minimum Qualifications
BS and a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Ability to verify analog/mixed-signal designs in a collaborative team environment.
Proficient in hardware descriptive languages: Verilog, System‑Verilog, and/or Verilog‑AMS code.
Familiarity with authoring analog assertion checks to catch bugs.
Capability to identify failure mechanisms and review verification results in analog IC designs.
Ability to write test plans, present results, and communicate clearly with multi‑functional teams.
Comfortable with running simulations through compute clusters while optimizing simulation and wall time.
Understanding of both power management and related auxiliary circuitry: switching converters, linear converters, reference circuitry, band‑gaps, data converters, and/or clock generators.
Familiarity with verification methodologies and tools: simulators, waveform viewers, execution automation, coverage collection, gate‑level simulations.
Experience developing scalable and portable test benches.
Background in scripting or programming languages such as TCL, Skill, Python, and/or PERL.
Familiarity with analog behavioral models is also a plus.
Compensation & Benefits
Base pay ranges from $147,400 to $272,100, and may be adjusted based on skills, qualifications, experience, and location. This role may also be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation assistance. Apple employees can participate in Apple’s discretionary employee stock unit awards, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and receive benefits including comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, discounted products and free services, reimbursement for certain educational expenses, and more.
