SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
Overview
Sr. Analog/Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer (Silicon Engineering)
Redmond, WA SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. At SpaceX were leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the worlds most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the worlds largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. Weve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlinks potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlinks utility for communities and businesses around the globe. We are seeking a motivated, proactive, and intellectually curious AMS Verification Engineer who will work alongside world-class cross-disciplinary teams (systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering). In this role, you will be developing cutting-edge next-generation RFICs for deployment in space and ground infrastructures around the globe. These chips are enabling connectivity in places it has previously not been available, affordable or reliable. Join us to help deliver cutting-edge solutions that will expand the performance and capabilities of the Starlink network. Responsibilities Develop and own analog-on-top and digital-on-top design verification flows for full-chip simulations of in-house RFICs and RF-SoCs Develop testbenches and flows to simulate critical interfaces between RFICs/SoCs Work with designers to improve speed/accuracy of simulations for advanced mixed-signal IPs (PLLs, DACs, ADCs, etc.) Work with designers to create behavioral models of RF/analog/mixed-mode circuit blocks, and employ these models in chip verification Work with ATE test engineering team to develop and prototype test plans Setup and run EM/IR simulations
Basic Qualifications
Bachelors degree in an engineering discipline 5+ years of research and/or industry experience in the field of integrated circuit design/verification
Preferred Skills and Experience
Masters degree or PhD in an engineering discipline with emphasis in integrated circuit design/verification Experience with AMS simulation tools and flows Experience with annotated gate-level simulation within an AMS simulator Experience in System-Verilog, UVM, Python Experience in writing behavioral models for analog/mixed-mode IPs in Verilog-A/AMS Understanding of analog circuit fundamentals, and experience simulating circuits such as LDOs, bandgaps, DACs, ADCs, baseband amplifiers, mixers, RF amplifiers, oscillators, PLLs, etc. Understanding of combinational logic and basic digital circuit blocks, such as flip-flops, counters, buffers, synchronizers, serializers/de-serializers, etc.; ability to understand RTL and gate-level netlists
Additional Requirements
Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones
Compensation and Benefits
Pay range: AMS Verification Engineer/Senior: $160,000 - $220,000 per year. Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience. Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and at least 10 or more paid holidays per year. Exempt employees are eligible for 5 days of sick leave per year. To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicants must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. lawful permanent resident (green card holder), refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158, or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. SpaceX is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, or any other legally protected status. #J-18808-Ljbffr
