AMS Engineer

About the Company

OLIX is developing the Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1), a new paradigm in AI computing designed to bridge the massive infrastructure gap in AI hardware. By utilizing rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics, and interconnect, OLIX aims to create a step change in system-level performance for the next generation of AI computing.

Responsibilities

• Own the verification strategy and test plan for mixed-signal subsystems from block level to top-level integration
• Define modeling approaches and fidelity tiers using real-number models, Verilog-AMS, or transistor-level co-sim
• Develop and validate analog behavioral models against transistor-level references
• Build self-checking testbenches and reusable verification components for analog/digital interactions
• Drive AMS co-simulation flows and manage performance and runtime trade-offs
• Define functional coverage and assertions targeting analog corner behavior
• Debug and root-cause failures across the analog/digital boundary
• Partner with analog and DSP designers to review specs and translate analog intent into checkable models
• Own block- and subsystem-level verification sign-off for tape-out
• Build and maintain regression infrastructure and flow automation
• Contribute to silicon bring-up and lab correlation

Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5+ years of analog/mixed-signal verification experience on complex SoCs or mixed-signal IP
• Expertise with Verilog-AMS and real-number modeling (SystemVerilog real / wreal)
• Experience with analog-digital co-simulation flows (e.g., Spectre AMS, FastSpice)
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and assertion-based verification
• Ability to model analog blocks at appropriate abstraction levels
• Strong debug skills across the analog/digital boundary
• Ability to read analog schematics and specifications

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of high-speed SerDes / wireline architectures (CDR, PLL, CTLE, DFE)
• Experience verifying calibration and adaptation loops
• UVM or constrained-random, metric-driven verification experience
• Scripting skills in Python, TCL, or Make
• Track record of mixed-signal IP sign-off through tape-out

Benefits

• Competitive Salary
• Meaningful stock options
• Annual Living-Local Bonus for residents within 20 minutes of the office
• Employer-contributed retirement plans
