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, and related workflows using command-line-accessible or programmatic tools.
- Use Python to generate inputs, automate simulations, run parameter sweeps, control instruments, and analyze results.
- Evaluate voltage, current, power, gain, bandwidth, impedance, noise, timing, stability, thermal behavior, and other relevant circuit outputs.
- Perform corner, tolerance, worst-case, transient, frequency-domain, or Monte Carlo analyses where appropriate.
- Compare simulated circuit behavior with analytical calculations and physical measurements.
- Diagnose issues involving component selection, parasitics, layout, power integrity, signal integrity, thermal behavior, interfaces, or manufacturing.
- Review AI-generated circuit solutions and identify incorrect assumptions, invalid configurations, and unsupported conclusions.
- Develop reproducible reference solutions and automated verification checks.

Requirements
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline, or a BS in Electrical Engineering with at least 1–2 years of relevant professional circuit-design experience.
- Meaningful experience designing analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits.
- Experience with circuit designs that were fabricated, integrated, shipped, or taped out; simulation-only academic experience is not sufficient.
- Practical proficiency with Python.
- Experience with at least one EDA, circuit-simulation, PCB, HDL, synthesis, or verification tool supporting CLI, scripting, text-based inputs, or a programmatic API.
- Strong understanding of circuit behavior, component selection, tolerances, failure modes, and engineering design trade-offs.
- Experience with hardware bring-up, laboratory validation, design verification, or post-fabrication debugging.
- Ability to clearly explain circuit behavior and technical decisions.
- Ability to commit approximately 15 hours per week.
Benefits
- Global, fully remote contractor opportunity.
- Compensation of $80–$130 per hour based on qualifying output.
- Flexible schedule of approximately 15 hours per week.
- Ability to choose working hours and days, including weekends if desired.
- Opportunity to work on analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, and RF engineering challenges.
- Opportunity to apply Python and programmatic EDA expertise to next-generation AI training.
- Selected experts may begin their first task within 24–48 hours after completing onboarding.
