AMS DV Lead

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.
