• Bachelors in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering and/or 7+ years of related experience
• Architecting block and full-chip verification environments using HVLs (UVM) and constrained random techniques for SOCs with embedded CPUs, Serial Interfaces and mixed signal interfaces
• Experience verifying blocks/clusters/full chip level for ASIC
• Construct test benches components like scoreboard, agents, sequencers, and monitors
• Debugging RTL and Gate simulations and working with design engineers to verify fixes
• Converting verification tests to test patterns and assisting Test Engineers on ATE vector bring up
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Specialization in power management and/or serial interface systems such as USB controller, USB‑UART, USB‑Ethernet, GPIO Expanders, AXI bus, Embedded Microcontroller based design
• Passion for learning and engineering great solutions
• Proven written and verbal communication skills that demonstrate clarity of thought and conviction

Max Linear 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.

Max Linear 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 10

Gbit 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.
