DESCRIPTION

Circuit Design Expert Pay: $80–$130/hour Location: Global, fully remote Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week) Schedule: Flexible—you choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired We are looking for a highly skilled Circuit Design Expert to contribute to an AI training project involving electronic hardware, circuit simulation, programmatic EDA workflows, verification, and Python. The work involves creating, solving, reviewing, and validating engineering tasks related to analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits. A representative task may require interpreting circuit requirements, producing or modifying a netlist or hardware description, running simulations or verification tools from the command line, analyzing the resulting outputs, and determining whether the design satisfies its electrical and functional constraints. This role requires experience with real circuit designs that were fabricated, shipped, integrated, or taped out. Simulation-only academic experience is not sufficient. Candidates must also have experience with tools that support programmatic or command-line workflows. What You’ll Work On • 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. • Evaluate voltage, current, power, gain, bandwidth, impedance, noise, timing, stability, thermal behavior, and other relevant outputs. • Perform corner, tolerance, worst-case, transient, frequency-domain, or Monte Carlo analyses where appropriate. • Compare simulated behavior with analytical calculations and physical measurements. • Diagnose problems 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, or unsupported conclusions. • Develop reproducible reference solutions and automated verification checks. Required

REQUIREMENTS

▸An MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline; or
▸A BS in Electrical Engineering plus at least 1–2 years of relevant professional circuit-design 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.
▸Practical proficiency with Python.
▸Experience with at least one EDA, circuit-simulation, PCB, HDL, synthesis, or verification tool that supports CLI, scripting, text-based inputs, or a programmatic API.
▸Strong understanding of circuit behavior, component selection, tolerances, failure modes, and design trade-offs.
▸Experience with hardware bring-up, laboratory validation, design verification, or post-fabrication debugging.
