Electrical Engineering & Simulation Expert — Hephaestus

What You'll Do6

• Build realistic engineering tasks in one or more areas: circuit and PCB design, power electronics, power systems, embedded systems, or industrial controls.
• Create and debug schematics, SPICE netlists, component models, control logic, and other native artifacts that let another engineer reproduce a task.
• Set operating points, initial conditions, parameter sweeps, transient or steady-state analyses, and fault cases, then judge convergence, model assumptions, and physical validity.
• Write reference solutions and verification code that check voltage, current, efficiency, losses, timing, stability, protection behavior, and design constraints with stated units and tolerances.
• Package model files, dependencies, scripts, and results into a reproducible set, and test the checks against correct and deliberately incorrect cases.
• Review AI-generated engineering artifacts, diagnose failures in the design, simulation setup, or verifier, and use coding agents with independent checks on their output.

Requirements5

• 5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience with direct ownership of circuit designs, power systems, controls, or product validation.
• Recent hands-on work with KiCad, Altium, Cadence, SPICE/ngspice, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar engineering software; you do not need every tool on that list.
• Ability to write, inspect, and debug Python or comparable scripts for simulation automation, data analysis, and numerical checks.
• Sound judgment about component behavior, numerical accuracy, safety margins, and applicable standards, plus the ability to tell simulation predictions apart from measured lab evidence.
• Clear technical writing and a disciplined approach to documenting assumptions, reproducibility, and failure modes.

Preferred Qualifications3

• Professional engineering credential
• Test automation experience
• Engineering training or evaluation design background

Who Should Apply

Electrical engineers with 5+ years of hands-on ownership in circuits, power systems, controls, or product validation fit this work. You should be comfortable with SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar tools, write Python for checks, and document assumptions and failure modes with care.
