AMS
London, Greater London • Direct Hire • August 04, 2026 • 89376
Job Title: AMS
Job ID: 89376
Location: Greater London, United Kingdom
What you will be doing:
-
Own the verification strategy and test plan for our mixed-signal subsystems, from block level through subsystem and top-level integration.
-
Define the modeling approach and fidelity tiers - decide what gets a real-number model, what needs Verilog-AMS, and where transistor-level co-sim is required - and document the accuracy/runtime trade-offs.
-
Develop and validate analog behavioral models against transistor-level references, owning the model-vs-schematic equivalence checks that keep the abstraction honest.
-
Build self-checking testbenches and reusable verification components for analog/digital interactions: CDR lock, adaptation and calibration loop convergence, mode and power-state transitions, clock dividers, deserializers, and clock-domain crossings.
-
Drive AMS co-simulation flows (Spice/FastSpice coupled with digital simulators) and own their setup, performance, and runtime trade-offs.
-
Define functional coverage and assertions that target analog corner behavior - saturation, overflow, polarity, loop stability, settling - not just digital state.
-
Debug and root-cause failures across the analog/digital boundary, including discrepancies between behavioral and transistor-level results, and drive them to closure.
-
Partner with analog and DSP designers to review specs, pin down interface contracts, and translate analog intent into checkable models, assertions, and tests.
-
Own block- and subsystem-level verification sign-off for tape-out, including coverage closure and a clear statement of what AMS did and did not verify (functional vs. performance).
-
Build and maintain regression infrastructure and flow automation, and improve AMS simulation throughput.
-
Contribute to silicon bring-up and lab correlation, feeding measured behavior back into model validation.
What you must have:
-
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related field, with 5+ years of analog/mixed-signal verification experience on complex SoCs or mixed-signal IP.
-
Hands-on expertise with AMS modeling and verification: Verilog-AMS and real-number modeling (SystemVerilog real / wreal), and analog-digital co-simulation flows (e.g., Spectre AMS, FastSpice coupled with a digital simulator).
-
Proficiency in SystemVerilog, with solid assertion-based verification skills and the ability to architect self-checking testbenches and reusable verification components.
-
Demonstrated ability to model analog blocks at the appropriate level of abstraction and to validate those models against transistor-level references.
-
Strong debug skills across the analog/digital boundary, with a structured approach to test planning, functional coverage, and closure.
-
Comfort reading analog schematics and specifications and collaborating directly with analog and DSP designers.
