Embedded Systems & RF Engineer - Canada

About the role

Handshake is looking for experienced embedded systems and RF engineers to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on industry experience in embedded systems, firmware, digital signal processing, or RF and wireless design to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing embedded or RF engineer. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.

Responsibilities

• Use your industry expertise to create expert-level engineering problems and scenarios grounded in real embedded, DSP, and RF design workflows
• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with how the work is actually done
• Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
• Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering; a BS in EE/ECE also qualifies when paired with strong industry experience
• 2+ years of hands-on embedded systems, DSP, or RF work in industry
• Depth in one or more of the following: embedded firmware, real-time systems, digital signal processing, RF and antenna design, or wireless communications

Skills

• Proficiency with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SPICE, LTspice, Altium, KiCad, or GNU Radio is a strong plus
• Strong written communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
