Job Description:

The company provides products and technologies for space and other extreme
environments. We are focused on making the frontier of space more accessible by
bridging the technology gap between commercial and high-reliability technologies
at a lower cost. We provide optimized products and infrastructure that give you the
best in reliability and value. Our products and services are targeted towards
enabling small-satellites and large constellations that require high performance, a
small form factor and radiation resilience at a lower cost. Working in partnership
with state-of-the art semiconductor foundries, the company develops radiation
hardened processes and components that serve as the foundation for our cutting-
edge integrated circuits and IP blocks.
As a Junior Analog Verification Engineer at the company, you will be
instrumental in verifying that our designs meet the highest standards of
performance by implementing a combination of behavioral modeling, simulation,
and regression testing of analog and mixed-signal IC.

What You’ll Do:
Develop behavioral models: Design and build models to represent desired
performance or measured performance of specific functional blocks within an
analog or mixed-signal system.
Design and Analysis: Analyze and design analog circuit building blocks (i.e.
current source, common-source gain stage …).
Regression automation: Specify and automate test and regression requirements
for analog and mixed-signal system.
Simulation: Use transistor level simulation tools such as Spectre and AFS, and
event driven simulation tools such as Xcelium and VCS, leveraging formal
verification methods where applicable
Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate documentation of verification
procedures and results. Prepare detailed reports to share findings with the
engineering team and management.
Continuous Improvement: Continually seek to improve verification
methodologies.
Collaboration: Work closely with analog and digital design team product
development and engineering teams to understand product specifications and
ensure verification plans are aligned with design requirements.

Required Qualifications:
 Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
 Ability for circuit analysis, both on block level and system level, with a basic
understanding of system control theory
 Domain expertise within at least one major functional area of analog and
mixed-signal design, such as voltage regulators and power management or
data conversion
 Prior experience with Cadence’s custom IC design environment (icfb) and
analog circuit simulation (Spectre, AFS, or HSPICE)
 Understanding of basic statistical design principles
 Excellent organizational and communication skills.
 Available to work full-time in our Plano office

Preferred Qualifications:
 Experience with mixed-signal and fast-spice simulation (Cadence AMS
Designer, AFS Symphony, CustomSim), and system/HDL modeling languages
(MATLAB, Verilog, Verilog-A, Verilog-MS, or SystemVerilog)
 Experience with digital design methodology
 Understanding the impact of physical design layout and process variation on
analog designs
 Comfortable working in UNIX and familiar with shell scripting (csh or bash)
and/or Python
