6h•$130,000 - $180,000

About The Position

We are seeking a Mixed-Signal Behavioral Modeling Engineer to own the creation of behavioral modeling and drive mixed-signal verification methodology from the ground up. You will be part of a collaborative design team developing state-of-the-art mixed-signal SoCs to be hosted on some of the largest, most powerful, rapidly designed and rapidly manufactured satellites ever deployed in space. Your work will directly influence top-level integration and silicon tapeout success. This is a high-impact, technical role with significant ownership across modeling, methodology, verification, and cross-functional alignment with RF, analog, and digital teams.

Requirements

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
2+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal modeling and/or AMS verification.
Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog, Verilog-AMS, wreal/RNM, or equivalent modeling languages.
Strong understanding of analog/mixed-signal circuits (PLLs, LDOs, ADC/DACs, RF/IF paths, clocking, amplifiers).
Experience with mixed-signal co-simulation environments (Cadence AMS Designer, Synopsys VCS AMS, or similar).

Nice To Haves

Experience building AMS verification methodologies from scratch.
Familiarity with UVM-based verification and digital design flows.
Knowledge of signal processing theory, RF system modeling, or communication systems.
Experience with MATLAB/Simulink, Python modeling, or SystemC AMS for high-level architectural modeling.
Experience working in cross-functional, geographically distributed teams.

Responsibilities

Develop high-level behavioral models for analog and mixed-signal IP (ADCs, DACs, PLLs, LDOs, RF front-end blocks, biasing, amplifiers, etc.).
Create abstracted models using Verilog, Verilog-AMS, or SystemVerilog.
Develop regression infrastructure and mixed-signal testbenches enabling co-simulation (digital + analog).
Integrate AMS models into digital verification environments (UVM-based).
Define and build the mixed-signal verification methodology for top-level SoC and subsystem verification.
Support architectural exploration through early-phase modeling and system-level simulations.
Collaborate with analog/RF designers to capture real-world analog behaviors and map them into accurate behavioral abstractions.
Work with digital and verification teams to ensure seamless integration of AMS models.
Provide modeling and verification insights during architectural reviews, PDR/CDR, and silicon bring-up.
Act as technical leader and subject-matter expert.
