What are some typical challenges faced by a Mixed Signal Verification engineer and how is support provided within teams?

Mixed Signal Verification engineers often encounter challenges in accurately modeling and validating the interactions between analog and digital circuit components, which can be intricate and require in-depth simulation. Team support typically includes close collaboration with both design engineers and other verification specialists, frequent design reviews, and shared troubleshooting resources. Many companies provide mentorship programs and encourage knowledge-sharing sessions to help address technical issues. This collaborative environment ensures engineers have the guidance and tools needed to address complex verification tasks and continually enhance their expertise.

What is a Mixed Signal Verification job?

A Mixed Signal Verification job involves testing and validating the functionality of integrated circuits that include both analog and digital components. Engineers in this role develop verification environments, create testbenches, and use methodologies like UVM or custom analog verification techniques to ensure circuit performance. They work with simulation tools such as SPICE, Verilog-AMS, or SystemVerilog to verify signal integrity, timing, and functionality. The goal is to detect and resolve design issues before fabrication, ensuring reliable and high-performance chips.

Job description

K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by $450M from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, Redpoint Ventures, T. Rowe Price, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Alpine Space Ventures, and others - with an additional $500M in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers - we're mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space.
The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today's and tomorrow's massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits.
With multiple launches planned through 2026 and 2027, we're Building Bigger to develop the solar system and become a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a groundbreaking Series C space startup, we'd love for you to apply.
The Role
We are seeking a Mixed-Signal Behavioral Modeling Engineer to own the creation of behavioral modeling and drive mixed-signal verification methodology from the ground up. You will be part of a collaborative design team developing state-of-the-art mixed-signal SoCs to be hosted on some of the largest, most powerful, rapidly designed and rapidly manufactured satellites ever deployed in space. 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.
Responsibilities
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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).

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 for this role is $130,000 - $180,000 + equity in the company
  • Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
  • Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/ coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks

If you don't meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!
If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.
Export Compliance
As defined in the ITAR, "U.S. Persons" include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and certain protected individuals (e.g., refugees/asylees, American Samoans). Please consult with a knowledgeable advisor if you are unsure whether you are a "U.S. Person."
The person hired for this role will have access to information and items controlled by U.S. export control regulations, including the export control regulations outlined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). The person hired for this role must therefore either be a "U.S. person" as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license.
