Senior mixed-signal verification engineer owning verification of high-speed IO RX/TX analog blocks, including CDRs, phase interpolators, CTLE/DFE equalization, and samplers, plus their digital control loops. Work covers Verilog-AMS and real-number behavioral models validated against transistor-level references, and Spectre AMS or FastSpice co-simulation. Also covers SystemVerilog testbenches and tape-out sign-off.
AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.
We are designing silicon for a new and innovative breakthrough AI computing solution using optics and high-speed interconnect. Verifying the mixed-signal subsystems of this solution is one of the hardest and highest-leverage problems in the design flow and it is where this role sits. As a Senior Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer, you will own the verification of analog and mixed-signal blocks across our high-speed IO RX/TX chains - CDRs, phase interpolators and clock generation, DFE/CTLE equalization, samplers and slicers, deserializers, and the digital control loops that wrap around them. You will work at the boundary where analog behavior meets digital control, building the models, environments, and methodology that let us find bugs in silicon-accurate simulation rather than in the lab.
Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at OLIX depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.
