About the Role
We're seeking a Circuit Design Expert to support an AI training project involving electronic hardware, circuit design, simulation, verification, EDA workflows, and Python. You'll design, analyze, validate, and review real‑world circuit solutions. No prior AI experience is required.
Responsibilities
- Design and analyze analog, digital, power, mixed‑signal, or RF circuits.
- Translate requirements into schematics, netlists, HDL, models, and simulation inputs.
- Run simulation, synthesis, and verification workflows using CLI/programmatic tools.
- Use Python to automate simulations, parameter sweeps, and result analysis.
- Evaluate voltage, current, power, gain, bandwidth, noise, timing, stability, and related outputs.
- Diagnose component, parasitic, layout, signal/power integrity, thermal, and manufacturing issues.
- Compare simulations with analytical calculations and hardware measurements.
- Review AI‑generated circuit solutions and create reproducible reference solutions.
Required Skills
- Circuit Design & Analysis (Analog/Digital/Mixed‑Signal/RF)
- Circuit Simulation & Verification
- EDA & CLI‑Based Workflows
- Python (including automation and data analysis)
- Hardware Debugging & Validation
- Signal & Power Integrity
- Technical Problem‑Solving
- Experience with tools such as ngspice, Xyce, Yosys, Verilator, KiCad, SPICE simulators, HDL tools, or equivalent programmatic EDA software
- Familiarity with Python libraries like PySpice, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, Matplotlib, cocotb, or similar (beneficial)
Qualifications
- MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field, or BS in Electrical Engineering with 1–2+ years of professional circuit‑design experience.
- Proven experience designing circuits that were fabricated, integrated, shipped, or taped out.
- Strong Python and programmatic EDA/tool experience.
- Experience with hardware bring‑up, laboratory validation, design verification, or post‑fabrication debugging.
- Ability to explain circuit behavior, assumptions, and design trade‑offs clearly.
Process
- 30‑minute AI interview
- Technical assessment (if required)
- Hiring manager review
Compensation
Output‑based compensation is paid per approved task. Selected experts are expected to start their first task within 24–48 hours of onboarding.
