About the role

Description: Kforce has a client in Cupertino, CA that is seeking a Senior Battery Electrical Simulation Engineer (Cadence & SPICE).

Overview: Our client is seeking a Senior Battery Simulation Engineer to lead the development and implementation of advanced battery and electronic system simulations within Cadence and SPICE environments. This individual will play a critical role in expanding the organization's simulation capabilities and serve as a subject matter expert on electrical modeling of batteries, chargers, power systems, and related electronic components. The ideal candidate will possess deep simulation expertise, strong academic credentials, and extensive experience translating physical battery and electronic system behavior into high-fidelity simulation models.

Responsibilities:

Develop and implement advanced electrical simulation models within Cadence environments* Translate battery, charger, and electronic component behavior into simulation-ready models* Build, validate, and optimize electrical simulations used by multiple engineering organizations* 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 Job Type ContractCompensation60 - $65

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
