Simulation Engineer & Computational Modeling

Lake Forest, CA In person Full-time

Job Summary

We are looking for a highly skilled engineer with expertise in

computational modeling and simulation for electronic and electro mechanical systems used in medical devices.

The role focuses

  • on SI/PI, electromagnetic analysis, and system-level modeling to evaluate and optimize product performance, reliability, and
  • robustness. The engineer will drive simulation-driven design, reduce
  • physical prototyping, accelerate development timelines, and support
  • regulatory submissions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform SI/PI analysis for high-speed interfaces.
  • Develop validated electrical simulation models under varying
  • operating conditions.
  • Conduct trade studies and sensitivity analyses to support
  • engineering decisions.
  • Contribute to virtual prototyping initiatives to reduce design
  • iterations.
  • Present simulation findings and design recommendations to
  • stakeholders.
  • Maintain documentation of methodologies, assumptions, validation,
  • and results.
  • Support design reviews and verification activities with simulation
  • based analyses.

Requirements

Required Skills

  • Perform Signal Integrity (SI) and Power
  • Integrity (PI) analysis for high-speed digital
  • interfaces (DDR4, DDR5, MIPI, USB).
  • Develop simulation models for impedance
  • discontinuities, crosstalk, timing margins,
  • and electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Conduct pre-layout and post-layout
  • PCB/package analyses.
  • Apply electromagnetic, circuit, and
  • system-level simulation techniques to
  • optimize product design.
  • Support regulatory submissions and
  • design verification with simulation-based
  • evidence.
  • Collaborate with hardware, firmware,
  • systems, and manufacturing teams to
  • resolve performance issues.

Preferred Skills

  • Transmission line theory, PCB design, and power distribution
  • networks.
  • Tools: Ansys HFSS, Ansys SIwave, Cadence, CST Studio Suite,
  • Altium.
  • Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout.
  • Programming/scripting in Python, MATLAB, Tcl for automation and
  • data analysis.
  • EMI/EMCfundamentals.
  • Background in medical devices, consumer electronics, or
  • embedded systems.

Education

  • Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s, or Ph.D. in
  • Electrical or Electronics or a related field.
  • Equivalent experience accepte
