Electrical Engineer II- #26-17370

Client is seeking a Temporary Electrical Engineer to act as a domain expert supporting AI Research initiatives. This is a temporary role and is not a full-time employment opportunity.

About the role

In this role, you will bridge the gap between traditional electrical engineering and artificial intelligence by helping the team develop, validate, and stress-test AI tools tailored for hardware, circuit design, and electrical systems analysis. You will partner closely with AI researchers to evaluate engineering workflows, define benchmarks, and ensure AI outputs meet the rigorous standards of the discipline.

Responsibilities

• Validate AI Workflows: Evaluate the feasibility, safety, and practical utility of AI-generated circuit designs, schematics, PCB layouts, and electrical simulations.
• Define Tasks & Benchmarks: Help design, collect, and validate the specific engineering tasks, edge cases, and evaluation metrics (validators) that AI models need to master.
• Provide Domain Expertise: Operate comfortably across a wide range of electrical engineering sub-disciplines, applying generalist knowledge in circuit design, power systems, signal processing, and embedded systems to assess model performance.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner directly with AI researchers and cross-functional stakeholders to translate complex electrical constraints into clear, actionable feedback for model training.
• Ensure Compliance: Ensure all evaluated deliverables and AI-generated outputs follow applicable engineering standards, safety requirements, and documented processes.

Skills

• Power-user proficiency with industry-standard EDA and simulation tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, KiCad, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, or Ansys HFSS).
• Broad foundational knowledge across electrical sub-fields (circuit design, power systems, signal processing, embedded systems).
• Experience working in cross-functional environments and communicating technical engineering information clearly to non-domain audiences (e.g., software engineers, AI scientists).
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Basic scripting skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB) to help parse data or interface with AI environments. (Note: Advanced software engineering or machine learning expertise is not required).

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of practical, post-graduation electrical engineering experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering field, or equivalent practical experience.

Location

US - WA - Seattle or US - NY - New York (remote work options may be available for candidates located within the United States, based on business needs and role requirements).
