About the role

The work involves creating, solving, reviewing, and validating engineering tasks related to analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits. A representative task may require interpreting circuit requirements, producing or modifying a netlist or hardware description, running simulations or verification tools from the command line, analyzing the resulting outputs, and determining whether the design satisfies its electrical and functional constraints.

This is a very coding heavy role. Candidates but have experience using coding agents with python in their workflow.

Responsibilities

  • Design, analyze, and validate analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits.
  • Translate electrical requirements into schematics, netlists, models, HDL, constraints, or simulation inputs.
  • Run circuit simulation, synthesis, verification, or related workflows using command-line-accessible tools.
  • Use Python to generate inputs, automate simulations, run parameter sweeps, control instruments, and analyze results.

Required skills

  • Meaningful experience designing analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits.
  • Experience with designs that were fabricated, integrated, shipped, or taped out—not only simulated.
  • Practical proficiency with Python and coding agents.

Experience and education

  • An MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline; or.
  • A BS in Electrical Engineering plus at least 1–2 years of relevant professional circuit-design experience.
  • Relevant tools may include ngspice, Xyce, Yosys, Verilator, KiCad scripting, SPICE-compatible simulators, HDL simulators, synthesis tools, or equivalent programmatic EDA software. Experience with a comparable CLI-accessible tool is acceptable. Relevant Python tools may include PySpice, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, Matplotlib, cocotb, instrument-control libraries, EDA APIs, or internally developed automation tools. No single library is mandatory.
