The Business
ADI’s Data Center & Energy business is the key provider of power solutions serving the breadth of ADI’s end markets. As part of a long term sustainable growth plan, ADI is expanding its power team in Ireland, supporting the development of highly integrated power solutions. Data Center & Energy BU will present the successful candidate a great opportunity for continuous career development as part of a highly motivated and supportive worldwide engineering team.
The Team
The Power Controller (PWC) Design team has the mission to expand ADI’s current portfolio of power devices, innovating through, for example, the addition of new smart control features and integrated digital configurability. The team is growing its power solutions to complement the existing mixed-signal products and advance toward cutting-edge technologies.
The PWC organization is looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Principal Engineer, Design Verification Engineering. The candidate will work with experts in the power engineering team to verify industry-leading DC-DC converter controllers, and will interact with digital design, analog design, and silicon design evaluation teams.
Responsibilities include, but not limited to:
- Provide technical leadership for design verification of mixed-signal power converter controllers from architecture through silicon bring-up, driving verification strategy, scope, and execution.
- Own and maintain end-to-end verification plans, including test strategy, stimulus generation, checkers, scoreboards, and sign-off criteria aligned with product requirements.
- Develop and review SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches for digital and AMS verification, leveraging reusable verification components, constrained-random stimulus, and robust self-checking methodologies.
- Work closely with analog, digital, and system architects to translate system requirements into verifiable specifications and define closure metrics through reviews and traceability.
- Drive coverage methodology and closure (functional, code, assertion), define meaningful metrics, and ensure verification completeness for tape-out readiness.
- Champion best-practice verification sign-off including Gate level simulation (GLS), LINT, CDC/RDC, reset/X-prop strategies, assertions (SVA), and formal/semi-formal techniques where applicable.
- Build and maintain scalable regression infrastructure (automation, dashboards, triage) and enable continuous integration practices to improve quality and reduce turnaround time.
- Lead AMS verification using behavioural models (e.g., Verilog-AMS/real-number models) and mixed-signal co-simulation to validate control loops, interfaces, and system interactions.
- Partner with design evaluation and applications teams to support silicon bring-up, correlate simulation to lab results, root-cause issues, and feed learnings back into verification and design.
- Lead verification reviews and risk assessments, communicate status/quality metrics to stakeholders, and drive cross-team alignment on priorities, schedules, and deliverables.
- Mentor and develop other verification engineers, set coding/review standards, and drive continuous improvement of methodologies, tooling, and reusable verification IP.
Minimum Qualifications:
- BSEE/BSCS (or equivalent) + 12+ years of relevant experience in IC design verification; advanced degree a plus.
- Proven technical leadership delivering verification for multiple ICs from concept through tape-out, including ownership of verification plans and sign-off readiness.
- Strong hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog/UVM, constrained-random verification, self-checking testbenches, and debug/triage of complex failures.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence cross-functional stakeholders through clear technical communication and effective reviews.
- Experience with verification sign-off practices (coverage closure, assertions/SVA, LINT, CDC/RDC, formal/semi-formal) and driving quality metrics to closure
- Demonstrated experience in verification techniques for one or more of the following, Processor subsystems/DSP/Power controllers/Formal verification
- Willingness to travel globally up to ~10%.
Preferred Qualifications & Experience:
- Experience with industry-standard digital verification simulators and flows (e.g., Xcelium/VCS/Questa) and strong familiarity with waveform/debug tooling.
- Experience with verification quality and sign-off tools such as LINT, CDC/RDC, and/or formal verification; able to define and enforce sign-off criteria.
- Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Tcl, shell, Make) to build/maintain regressions, dashboards, and CI pipelines.
- Behavioral modeling and AMS verification techniques (e.g., real-number models, Verilog-AMS) and mixed-signal co-simulation experience.
- Comfortable using AI tools to support and accelerate verification tasks
- Domain knowledge of integrated power management (e.g., buck/boost converters, control loops, fault protection) and ability to translate system behavior into robust verification scenarios.
