KiCad Specialist for Remote PCB Design Tasks Contract
Overview
This remote contract role focuses on delivering realistic KiCad driven tasks that mirror real electronics design workflows. You’ll design tasks around schematic capture, footprint assignment, and PCB routing, then document each step in SuperAnnotate. Your recordings will demonstrate how to set up KiCad projects, perform ERC/DRC checks, and generate Gerber files, feeding AI training data. This position supports SME Careers as a remote contractor contributing to AI data services for leading labs.
What You'll Do6
- 1Create practical KiCad tasks that reflect real electronics design, documenting the task steps in SuperAnnotate.
- 2Prepare a ready-to-record workspace with KiCad installed, sample projects, libraries, and references.
- 3Record clear demonstrations of the task from start to finish, including schematic capture, footprints, routing, and checks.
- 4Provide thorough task context with circuit details, project files, component notes, and references so reviewers can reproduce results.
- 5Demonstrate end-to-end workflows from schematic creation to fabrication outputs.
- 6Review submissions for completeness, realism, and alignment with project guidelines before final delivery.
Requirements9
- 1Hands-on KiCad experience covering schematic design, PCB layout, footprints, routing, DRC, ERC, and Gerber export.
- 2English proficiency at B2 level or higher to understand instructions, document results, and communicate with the project team.
- 3Comfort with computer-based work, project file management, software installation, and recording workflows.
- 4Ability to design realistic KiCad tasks reflecting electronics hardware prototyping and repair use cases.
- 5Solid understanding of KiCad fundamentals: projects, symbols, footprints, nets, layers, routing, vias, zones, ERC/DRC, and fabrication outputs.
- 6Ensure setup is ready before recording: KiCad installed, sample projects available, libraries configured, and references prepared.
- 7Attention to detail in task preparation, workflow execution, and recording quality.
- 8Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent output in an hourly remote contractor model.
- 9Additional professional skills are appreciated, including electronics, embedded systems, hardware prototyping, CAD, or technical documentation.
Who Should Apply
Electronics engineers with hands-on KiCad task-recording experience are ideal. Candidates who can clearly document steps in English and deliver repeatable, well-annotated workflows across time zones will excel. This role isn’t a great fit for applicants who require close supervision, prefer on-site work, or struggle to produce concise task descriptions and deliverables. If you lack experience creating end-to-end KiCad tasks or cannot commit to a remote hourly cadence, score lower for fit.
Salary Insight
Pay: $20/hr. This hourly remote contractor role offers task-based deliverables and time-tracked collaboration across time zones.
