What this job asks for AI summary
This role focuses on pre-silicon functional verification of mixed-signal logic components, including developing verification plans, test benches, and simulation environments to validate designs against microarchitectural specifications. The work involves debugging failures, root-causing issues, and collaborating with analog, digital, and physical design teams. It suits engineers with a background in digital logic and hardware description languages, ideally with UVM/OVM testbench experience.

Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a mixed-signal functional verification engineer — primarily writing testbenches, verification plans, and running simulations to validate hardware IP. This sits between 15-1253 (QA/Testers) and 15-1252 (Software Developers); 15-1253 was chosen because the primary day-to-day work is verification/testing of a design rather than building the design itself.
Minimum qualification is a Bachelor's degree with 3+ years OR a Master's with 2+ years; Bachelor's + 3 years is the lower bar and drives the degree and experience fields.
The preferred qualification of 7+ years of related experience is not a hard gate and is not reflected in the overall years minimum.
Digital logic experience is listed as a hard requirement but names no specific tool or technology, so it is not emitted as a skill.
Real number (current/voltage) simulation modeling and analog debug skills appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
The role is hybrid (on-site at Hillsboro, OR with some off-site flexibility), not fully remote.
Compensation range ($141,910–$200,340/year) reflects all US locations; actual pay varies by work location per the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): analog behavioral modeling, real number modeling.
