What this job asks for AI summary

This role centers on mixed-signal verification of high-current integrated voltage regulator (IVR) designs at a chiplet IP startup. Day-to-day work involves building analog behavioral models, running analog-digital co-simulations across PVT and Monte Carlo corners, and creating testbenches for power converter performance metrics such as transient response, loop stability, and protection sequences. It suits an experienced mixed-signal verification engineer with a background in power management ICs and familiarity with tools like Cadence Xcelium/Spectre or Synopsys VCS/CustomSim.

Why we read it this way (9)

This is a highly specialized mixed-signal/analog verification role for power management ICs — it sits at the intersection of EDA tooling, hardware verification, and analog design. SOC 15-1253 (Software QA Analysts and Testers) is the closest standard code for a verification engineer writing testbenches and running regressions, but the role is heavily hardware/EDA-focused and does not map cleanly to any single BLS code; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a plausible alternative.

The JD states 'BSEE / MSEE with 8+ years relevant experience' — the 8-year figure is tied to the degree requirement pairing, making it the effective total experience floor. The earlier '5+ years of hands-on experience in mixed-signal verification' is a more specific sub-requirement; overall years minimum is set to 8 accordingly.

The degree requirement is BSEE or MSEE; since a Bachelor's is the minimum stated, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.

Location is listed as 'Bay Area preferred' but the posting explicitly states remote-friendly hiring regardless of location, so remote is set to true.

Cadence Xcelium and Synopsys VCS are listed as interchangeable co-simulation front-ends; similarly, Spectre, FineSim, and CustomSim are listed as interchangeable analog solvers — captured accordingly.

SIMPLIS and PLECS appear together under the 'Nice to Have' section and are treated as interchangeable alternatives.

Python, Perl, and Tcl scripting appear under 'Nice to Have' and are treated as interchangeable alternatives for automation scripting.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
