About the role

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.

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).
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.
Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!

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).

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.
If you don't meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply!
