Job Description:

Description

We are seeking a visionary and technically accomplished Analog and Mixed-signal Verification Leader to found and lead our central AMS SoC Verification Team. In this role, you will architect and drive a world‑class verification strategy that elevates our mixed‑signal rigor, and ensures first‑pass success for increasingly complex mixed-signal SoC designs. You will architect an enterprise-wide verification platform that leverages best-in-class tools, modern methodologies, and scalable automation-while championing the adoption of reusable verification IP and standardized flows across the company. By introducing advanced AMS verification techniques, enforcing coverage-driven discipline, and operationalizing a robust reusable infrastructure, you will drastically reduce functional escapes and shorten product cycle times. This is a transformative leadership role, reporting to the Sr. Director of EDA Engineering, where you will not only build a high-impact organization from the ground up but also shape the verification foundation for our next generation of silicon innovation.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement a modern AMS SoC verification methodology using industry-best practices, automation, and coverage-driven techniques
• Architect and grow an enterprise-wide verification platform leveraging best-in-class EDA tools, standardized flows, and scalable infrastructure
• Collaborate closely with design and verification leaders across the company to drive continuous improvement
• Bridge the gap between Design and Test with scalable methodologies to verify test program prior to tape-out and driving traceability all the way from requirements to ATE
• Drive adoption of reusable Verification IP (VIP) and establish common libraries, models, and testbench components to improve consistency and efficiency across teams
• Research, evaluate, and deploy AI/ML tools and techniques to enhance verification quality, predict bugs earlier, enable intelligent coverage closure, and improve overall efficiency
• Develop and enforce verification quality metrics, including functional coverage, mixed-signal assertions, and convergence criteria to prevent functional escapes.
• Develop a high-performing verification team, mentor engineers, and foster a culture of innovation, and technical excellence

Required Experience and Skills

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 20+ years of experience in deluvering best in class mixed-signal verification solutions in complex SoCs in both individual contributor and leadership roles
• Expert-level knowledge of analog, digital, and mixed-signal SoC verification methodologies, including UVM, real‑number modeling, AMS simulation techniques, and metric‑driven verification.
• Strong understanding of complex SoC integration, mixed-signal interfaces, behavioral modeling, and end‑to‑end verification flows.
• Hands-on proficiency with industry-leading verification tools and platforms, including mixed-signal simulators, waveform analysis tools, regression systems, and enterprise-scale verification infrastructure.
• Proven ability to design and standardize enterprise verification environments, including reusable VIP, shared libraries and frameworks to continuously verify the model against design
• Deep familiarity with AI/ML technologies applied to verification, such as generation of verification harness from specs, end-to-end RCA, model generation and agentic flows that provide a true top-down verification system.
• Demonstrated experience building, scaling, and mentoring high-performing verification teams, including hiring senior technical talent and establishing a culture of rigor and technical excellence.
• Proficiency in automation and scripting-especially Python-to build scalable regression systems, tool integration, data pipelines, and workflow automation that improves team efficiency and quality
• Excellent cross-functional communication and leadership skills, enabling effective alignment with analog design, digital design, architecture, test engineering, and EDA/tool teams.

Desired Experience and Skills

• Experience with formal verification, including property checking, assertion development, and formal methods to complement simulation-based verification
• Experience with emulation platforms (e.g., Palladium, Veloce, Zebu) to validate mixed-signal subsystems and accelerate system-level verification
• Background in functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508), including safety analysis, FMEDA inputs, and verification practices targeting safety-critical SoCs.

The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is currently USD $170,100 - $339,500 per year. Starting base pay will depend on relevant experience and skills, training and education, business needs, market demands, the ultimate job duties and requirements, and work location. Skyworks has different base pay ranges for different work locations in the U.S. Benefits include access to healthcare benefits (including a premium-free medical plan option), a 401(k) plan and company match, an employee stock purchase plan, paid time off (including vacation, sick/wellness, parental leave), among others. Employees are eligible to participate in an incentive plan, and certain roles are also eligible for additional awards, including recognition and stock. These incentives and awards are based on individual and/or company performance.
