AMS DV Lead (Immediate Start)

Who are we and what do we do?

The HVP team in TI develops power solutions for a wide array of end-equipments, with several hundreds of volts of withstand capability. This team in TI offers one of the world's largest comprehensive portfolios of high-performance AC / DC and isolated DC / DC controllers, GaN-integrated power-stages and converters, and modules with the widest range of power topology options.

This is a new investment area for TI in India, and the candidate will get to be part of an exciting startup-like ecosystem, getting the experience of building a team and technical expertise under the safety of the wider TI umbrella.

What will you be doing in this role? (Responsibilities)

• Responsible to develop detailed coverage driven Verification plan working closely with System and design team.
• Behavioral Modelling of analog blocks using SV RNM, verilogAMS (wreal, electrical).
• Identify and develop system level tests in AMS to ensure bug free silicon.
• Independently develop SV / UVM based testbenches, tests, checkers, assertions and enhancing with randomization and coverage.
• Innovate & drive new and improved design verification methodologies as needed, work with the EDA team to upgrade tools and flows.
• Interacting with Test / Validation in various post silicon activities and customer debug / analysis.
• Team player : Collaborate and drive smart initiatives within the team. Mentor and lead the junior folks in team
• Closely working with DMS / DV team to understand the SOC – RTL verification and capable to support in case of project requirement.
• Good interaction with Digital Design team, Firmware developers, Analog Designers, and rest of the team.
