Job Description

Job Title: Power Electronics Simulation Engineer (SPICE)


Location: Remote


Job Summary


Join our customer's team as a Power Electronics Simulation Engineer (SPICE) and play a pivotal role in shaping advanced circuit designs through simulation-driven engineering. You will be responsible for developing, validating, and refining power circuits using SPICE tools, ensuring that every design meets rigorous, quantifiable performance targets before hardware prototyping. This position is ideal for engineers who are passionate about analog and power electronics, thrive on technical challenges, and bring a meticulous, data-driven approach to simulation.


Key Responsibilities


  1. Design analog and power circuits based on detailed functional specifications.
  2. Select appropriate components leveraging real-world datasheets and parametric data.
  3. Develop, modify, and optimize SPICE netlists using leading simulators such as ngspice, Xyce, LTspice, or PSpice.
  4. Set up and execute comprehensive simulations to assess ripple, efficiency, loop stability, and transient behavior.
  5. Define and apply quantitative pass/fail validation criteria to all simulated designs.
  6. Iterate on designs based on simulation feedback, optimizing for measurable outcomes.
  7. Leverage reference designs and vendor SPICE models effectively, understanding their strengths and constraints.



Required Skills and Qualifications


  1. 5+ years of hands-on experience in analog or power electronics design.
  2. Expertise in power converter topologies (buck, boost, LDO, etc.).
  3. Advanced proficiency with SPICE simulation environments and netlist modeling techniques.
  4. Proven ability to analyze and optimize ripple, efficiency, loop stability, and transient response.
  5. Strong component selection skills using datasheets and vendor resources.
  6. Solid grasp of control theory fundamentals and loop compensation strategies.
  7. Experience in scripting and automating simulation testbenches.



Preferred Qualifications


  1. Exposure to both open-source and commercial SPICE tools (ngspice, Xyce, LTspice, PSpice).
  2. Track record of simulation-validated designs used in production hardware.
  3. Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical findings in clear, concise written and verbal formats.
