Circuit Design Expert

Job Title

Circuit Design Expert

Role Summary

Contractor role supporting an AI training project that involves electronic hardware, circuit simulation, programmatic EDA workflows, verification, and Python-based automation. Tasks are output-driven and focus on producing validated circuit design artifacts.

Fully remote, flexible-hours engagement working on analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuit engineering tasks.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Early career - candidates with 1–2 years of relevant professional circuit-design experience, or candidates holding an advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a related field.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities for task-based contributions:

• Design, analyze, and validate analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits.
• Translate electrical requirements into schematics, netlists, HDL, models, constraints, or simulation inputs.
• Run command-line simulation, synthesis, and verification tools and automate workflows via scripts.
• Use Python to generate inputs, run parameter sweeps, control instruments, and analyze results.
• Review, validate, and document task submissions against project specifications and acceptance criteria.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Practical experience designing analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits, including designs that were fabricated, integrated, shipped, or taped out.
• Proficiency with Python and experience using coding agents or programmatic automation in engineering workflows.
• Experience using CLI-accessible EDA and simulation tools (for example, SPICE-compatible simulators, Yosys, Verilator, ngspice) or equivalent programmatic tools.
• Ability to run simulations, syntheses, or verification tools from the command line and analyze outputs to determine compliance with electrical and functional constraints.
• Ability to work remotely on short, output-based tasks and meet minimum submission and quality requirements.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with PySpice, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, Matplotlib, cocotb, or instrument-control libraries.
• Experience with KiCad scripting, EDA APIs, or custom automation frameworks.

Education Requirements

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. Equivalent practical experience is accepted.
