Role: Senior Power Electronics Simulation Engineer (SPICE) Location: Remote — Worldwide Job Type: Full-Time Salary: $60 – $120/hr (Based on Experience) Openings: 5 Posted: Rolling Applications
Company Overview
We are a forward-thinking technology company operating at the intersection of power electronics, embedded systems, and next-generation hardware design. With a globally distributed team of world-class engineers, we build simulation-driven solutions that power the devices and infrastructure of tomorrow. We are a company that believes the best engineering happens when talented people are given autonomy, rigorous problems, and the freedom to work without boundaries — geographical or otherwise.
Job Summary
We are seeking five experienced Senior Power Electronics Simulation Engineers to join our growing remote engineering team. In this role, you will be the critical bridge between circuit conception and physical hardware — responsible for ensuring every design is thoroughly validated through simulation before a single prototype is built. This is a deeply technical, high-ownership position that sits at the core of our product development pipeline. It is ideal for engineers who are meticulous, data-driven, and genuinely passionate about analog and power electronics simulation.
Key Responsibilities
- Design analog and power circuits from detailed functional specifications, selecting components using real-world datasheets and parametric vendor data.
- Develop, modify, and optimize SPICE netlists using industry-standard tools including ngspice, Xyce, LTspice, and PSpice.
- Set up and execute comprehensive simulations to assess and document ripple, efficiency, loop stability, and transient behavior across all designs.
- Define and enforce quantitative pass/fail validation criteria for every simulated circuit before progression to hardware prototyping.
- Iterate on circuit designs based on simulation results, optimizing continuously for measurable, reproducible performance outcomes.
- Script and automate simulation testbenches to increase throughput, consistency, and repeatability across the engineering team.
- Leverage vendor-supplied SPICE models and reference designs effectively, with a clear-eyed understanding of their assumptions and limitations.
- Document simulation methodologies, results, and design decisions in clear, concise technical reports suitable for both engineering and cross-functional audiences.
Required Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
- Experience: 5 or more years of hands-on professional experience in analog or power electronics design and simulation.
- Power Converter Expertise: Deep working knowledge of power converter topologies including buck, boost, flyback, LDO, and related architectures.
- SPICE Proficiency: Advanced, demonstrable proficiency with SPICE simulation environments and netlist modeling techniques — this is non-negotiable.
- Simulation Skills: Proven ability to analyze and optimize ripple, efficiency, loop stability, and transient response through simulation-driven methodologies.
- Control Theory: Solid understanding of control theory fundamentals and practical loop compensation strategies.
- Scripting & Automation: Demonstrated experience scripting and automating simulation testbenches in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent environments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on experience across both open-source (ngspice, Xyce) and commercial (LTspice, PSpice) SPICE simulation platforms.
- A verifiable track record of simulation-validated designs that have been carried through to production hardware.
- Experience working in cross-functional distributed teams, collaborating with hardware, firmware, and systems engineers remotely.
- The ability to communicate highly complex simulation findings clearly and concisely in written technical reports and verbal presentations to non-specialist stakeholders.
Benefits and Perks
- Competitive Pay: $60–$120/hr based on experience, reviewed annually with performance-linked increases.
- Fully Remote: Work from anywhere in the world with zero location restrictions and full schedule flexibility.
- Professional Development: Annual learning budget for courses, certifications, conference attendance, and technical resources.
- Equipment Stipend: One-time home office and hardware setup allowance provided upon joining.
- Flexible Hours: Async-first work culture — no mandatory core hours, no micromanagement, results-driven environment.
- Collaborative Culture: Access to a global network of senior engineers, regular technical knowledge-sharing sessions, and a team that takes craft seriously.
How to Apply
We review applications on a rolling basis and move quickly with qualified candidates. To apply, please submit the following:
