Job Description
Role: RTL Front-End Engineer - Mixed Signal Systems (Verilog / Verilog-AMS)

Location: remote

Duration: 3 months

Start date: ASAP

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled RTL Front-End Engineer with expertise in Mixed Signal System Design using Verilog and Verilog-AMS. You will be responsible for the specification, design, modelling, and verification of complex mixed-signal systems, working closely with both digital and analog design teams.

This is a critical role at the front end of chip/system design - ideal for someone who excels in modeling analog behaviour within digital environments and bridging the gap between hardware and system-level requirements.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop RTL for mixed-signal systems using Verilog and Verilog-AMS
  • Collaborate with analog and digital teams to co-design and verify mixed-signal IP blocks and subsystems
  • Develop accurate behavioral and functional models for analog and mixed-signal components
  • Perform simulation, verification, and debugging of mixed-signal systems
  • Support integration of analog/mixed-signal models into digital verification environments
  • Participate in system-level architecture discussions and contribute to design specifications
  • Write clear, maintainable, and well-documented code and technical documentation
Key Skills & Experience:
  • Strong experience with Verilog RTL design
  • Hands-on expertise with Verilog-AMS for analog/mixed-signal modelling
  • Proven experience in mixed-signal system design, particularly in front-end RTL and behavioural modeling
  • Familiarity with mixed-signal simulators (e.g., Cadence AMS Designer, Synopsys VCS AMS, etc.)
  • Solid understanding of analog circuit behaviour (ADC, DAC, PLL, etc.) and how to model it
  • Experience with SystemVerilog or UVM (a plus, but not essential)
  • Knowledge of signal processing, timing analysis, and mixed-signal verification methodologies
  • Strong debugging and analytical skills
Nice to Have:
  • Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Tcl)
  • Experience working in automotive, communications, or medical sectors
  • Knowledge of digital-analog co-simulation environments
