PCB Design Expert - Remote Contract Work

What You'll Do7

• Develop prompts that test AI models on PCB layout, schematic capture, and EDA workflows.
• Review AI responses for technical accuracy in electronics design tasks.
• Provide written feedback that explains where model output fails or succeeds.
• Use LibrePCB, KiCAD, Ngspice, or Qucs-S to verify design claims in model output.
• Flag gaps in AI reasoning about component selection, circuit behavior, or signal integrity.
• Collaborate with AI research teams through async channels.
• Adapt prompts and evaluation criteria as project needs shift.

Requirements6

• At least one year of hands-on work with PCB design tools.
• Direct experience using KiCAD, LibrePCB, Ngspice, or Qucs-S.
• Ability to assess schematic capture and PCB layout decisions.
• Comfort with async work alongside research teams.
• Familiarity with embedded hardware design concepts.
• Strong written communication for detailed feedback.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate has at least a year of real PCB work in KiCAD, LibrePCB, Ngspice, or Qucs-S and can explain layout or simulation choices in clear writing. This role suits engineers who already hold another job or study schedule and want part-time, remote project work. People without direct EDA tool experience will struggle, since the tasks require judging model output against practical electronics knowledge. Candidates often score low when they list PCB familiarity without naming specific tools or projects. Another common miss is applying without examples of async written feedback, because the job depends on clear text reviews.
