Circuit Design Expert

About the role

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 is a very coding heavy role. Candidates but have experience using coding agents with python in their workflow.

Location: Global, fully remote. Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week).

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.

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 and coding agents.

Skills

• Experience with ngspice, Xyce, Yosys, Verilator, KiCad scripting, SPICE‑compatible simulators, HDL simulators, synthesis tools, or equivalent programmatic EDA software; comparable CLI‑accessible tool experience is acceptable.
• Experience with Python tools such as PySpice, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, Matplotlib, cocotb, instrument‑control libraries, EDA APIs, or internally developed automation tools; no single library is mandatory.
