Senior Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer

Seattle, WA
As a Senior Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer at K2 Space, you will own the creation and execution of behavioral models and mixed-signal verification methodology for state‑of‑the‑art mixed‑signal SoCs destined for the company’s high‑power satellites. Your work will directly influence top‑level integration and silicon tapeout success.
Hybrid work: 3 days per week in‑office in Torrance, CA with periodic travel.
Responsibilities

Develop high‑level behavioral models for analog and mixed‑signal IP (ADCs, DACs, PLLs, LDOs, RF front‑end blocks, biasing, amplifiers, etc.).
Develop regression infrastructure and mixed‑signal testbenches enabling co‑simulation (digital + analog).
Integrate AMS models into digital verification environments (UVM‑based).
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.
Work with digital and verification teams to ensure seamless integration of AMS models.
Provide modeling and verification insights during architectural reviews, PDR/CDR, and silicon bring‑up.
Act as technical leader and subject‑matter expert.
Required Qualifications

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
5+ 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).
Preferred Qualifications

Experience building AMS verification methodologies from scratch.
Familiarity with UVM‑based verification and digital design flows.
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.
Compensation and Benefits

Base salary range: $160,000 – $230,000 plus equity.
Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision, life insurance, paid parental leave, and more.
