* Collaborate with internal engineering teams and external vendors to integrate simulation models
* Develop equivalent simulations across both Cadence and SPICE environments
* Advise engineering teams on simulation methodology, model accuracy, and best practices
* Analyze electrical system behavior using mathematical and physical modeling techniques
* Support the evolution and expansion of the organization's Cadence-based simulation platform
* Evaluate vendor-provided models and adapt them for use within internal simulation frameworks

REQUIREMENTS:
* Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related discipline
* Extensive experience developing simulations within Cadence
* Strong hands-on expertise with SPICE-based modeling and simulation tools
* Deep understanding of battery systems and associated electronic circuitry
* Strong understanding of differential equations and their application to electrical system modeling
* Ability to translate physical behavior into electrical simulation models
* Experience validating and correlating simulation results with real-world behavior
* Strong communication skills and ability to guide engineering teams on simulation strategy

Experience modeling:
* Batteries
* Chargers
* Power management systems
* Analog and mixed-signal circuits
* Electrical components and subsystems

Preferred Qualifications:
* PhD in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
* Experience working with lithium-ion battery systems
* Experience supporting consumer electronics products
* Experience developing model-based engineering workflows
* Familiarity with vendor-supplied electrical models and simulation libraries
* Experience mentoring junior engineers and influencing simulation methodologies
