Apogee Semiconductor 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 our customers 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, Apogee Semiconductor develops radiation hardened processes and components that serve as the foundation for our cutting-edge integrated circuits and IP blocks.
As a Verification Engineer at Apogee Semiconductor, 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 ICs.
What You’ll Do:
- Develop Behavioral Models: Design and build models to represent desired performance or measured performance of specific functional blocks within mixed-signal system
- Simulation: Implement testbenches and run simulations in mixed-signal and digital flows. Evaluate results for performance versus specification
- Regression Automation: Automate test and regression requirements for mixed-signal system. Author assertions for automated capture of critical design specifications
- Debug and Analysis: Review verification results and provide initial debug and analysis of problems to capture issues
- Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate documentation of verification procedures and results
- Continuous Improvement: Continually seek to improve verification methodologies.
- Collaboration: Work closely with analog and digital design product development and engineering teams to understand product specifications and review verification results
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
- Ability for transistor-level circuit analysis with a basic understanding of system control theory
- Prior experience with Cadence’s custom IC design environment (Virtuoso) and analog spice simulation (for example: Spectre, AFS or Primetime)
- Prior experience with digital simulation. Experience with SystemVerilog preferred
- Comfortable working in UNIX and shell scripting (csh or bash) and/or Python
- Understanding of basic statistical design principles
- Excellent organizational and communication skills.
- Available to work full-time in our Plano office
