Electrical Engineer | Remote

Crossing Hurdles; South Africa; On-site; ZAR 800,000 - 1,200,000; Full time

Job summary

Crossing Hurdles is seeking a talented EE to design, analyze and validate analog, digital, power, mixed-signal or RF circuits, translating requirements into schematics and models.

You will run circuit simulations and related workflows via command-line tools, and use Python to generate inputs, automate studies, and analyze results. A strong academic background with hands-on fabrication experience is required.

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or BS with strong relevant experience.
• Meaningful experience designing analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits.
• Experience with designs that were fabricated, integrated, shipped, or taped out, not only simulated.
• Proficiency with Python and coding agents.
• Experience with programmatic EDA tools such as ngspice, Xyce, Yosys, Verilator, KiCad scripting, SPICE-compatible simulators, HDL simulators, synthesis tools, or equivalent software.

Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, and validate analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits.
• Translate electrical requirements into schematics, netlists, models, HDL, constraints, or simulation inputs.
• Run circuit simulation, synthesis, verification, or related workflows using command-line-accessible tools.
• Use Python to generate inputs, automate simulations, run parameter sweeps, control instruments, and analyze results.
