Senior Digital Verification Engineer

Responsibilities

MaxLinear is seeking a Senior Digital Verification Engineer to join our Analog Mixed‑Signal (AMS) group. The AMS team develops a diverse portfolio of integrated circuits spanning Interface products, including serial transceivers, bridges, isolators, USB‑to‑UART, USB‑to‑Ethernet, and PCIe‑to‑UART controllers, as well as Power Management solutions such as PMICs, point‑of‑load (PoL) converters, and power management controllers. These products enable robust, high‑reliability communication and efficient system power architectures across industrial control, networking, and broad multi‑market applications. In this role, you will:

• Support development and execution of digital verification plans for AMS products, blocks, and subsystems
• Contribute to first‑silicon success through robust verification methodology, functional coverage, regression quality, and close collaboration with design, systems, and validation teams
• Create and maintain verification components such as scoreboards, agents, sequencers, monitors, checkers/assertions and coverage models
• Debug RTL and gate‑level simulations, analyze failures, and work with design engineers to verify fixes
• Support conversion of verification tests to test patterns and assist Test Engineers with ATE vector bring‑up

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 4+ years of related experience, or Master’s degree with 2+ years of related experience
• Experience building block and subsystem verification environments using SystemVerilog, UVM, constrained random techniques, assertions, and functional coverage
• Hands‑on experience verifying digital blocks, clusters, or full‑chip ASIC designs, preferably including SOCs with embedded CPUs, serial interfaces, bus fabrics, or mixed‑signal interfaces
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Exposure to power management and/or serial interface systems such as USB controllers, USB‑UART, USB‑Ethernet, GPIO expanders, AXI bus, and embedded microcontroller‑based designs is a plus
• Passion for learning and engineering great solutions
• Proven written and verbal communication skills that demonstrate clarity of thought and conviction
• Good to have: exposure to Verilog-A and/or Verilog-AMS modeling for mixed-signal verification and behavioral model development
• Working knowledge of one or more scripting languages (Perl, Python) and ability to use them to automate/accelerate verification and analysis tasks

Company Overview

MaxLinear is a global, NASDAQ-traded company (MXL) where the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. We are a fabless system-on-chip product company, striving to improve the world’s communication networks for everyone through our highly integrated radio-frequency (RF), analog, digital, and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions for access and connectivity, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial and multi-market applications.

 

We hire the best people in the industry and engage them in some of the most exciting opportunities that connect the world we live in today. Our growth has come from innovative, bold approaches to solving some of the world’s most challenging communication technology problems in the most efficient and effective manner.

 

MaxLinear began by developing the world’s first high-performance TV tuner chip using standard CMOS process technology. Others said we couldn’t achieve the extremely high-performance requirements using CMOS, but we proved them wrong and achieved enduring global market leadership with our designs. Since then, we’ve developed a full line of products that drive 4G and 5G infrastructure; enable data center, metro and long-haul optical interconnects; bring 10Gbit to the home; power the IoT revolution; and enable robust and reliable communication in harsh industrial environments. Over the years, we’ve expanded through organic growth and through several acquisitions that have perfectly complemented our existing portfolio and enabled us to deliver complete end-to-end solutions in our target markets. One such example was the acquisition of Intel’s Home Gateway Platform Division that added Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Broadband Gateway Processor SoC technology to our connected home portfolio creating a complete and scalable platform of connectivity and access solutions to fully address our customers’ needs.

 

Our headquarters are in Carlsbad, near San Diego, California. We also have major design centers in Irvine and San Jose, California; Valencia, Spain; Bangalore, India; Munich, Germany; Israel; and Singapore.

 

We have approximately 1,200 employees, a substantial majority of whom have engineering degrees and include masters and Ph.D. graduates from many of the premiere universities around the world. Our employees thrive on innovation, outstanding execution, outside-the-box thinking, nimbleness, and collaboration. Together, we form a high-energy business team that is focused on building the best and most innovative products on the market.
