Circuit Design Expert

Circuit Design Expert Pay: $80-$130/hour

Location:

Global, fully remote Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week)

Schedule:

Flexible-you choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired

• Design, analyze, and validate analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits.
• Translate electrical requirements into schematics, netlists, models, HDL, constraints, or simulation inputs.
• Run circuit simulation, synthesis, verification, or related workflows using command-line-accessible tools.
• Use Python to generate inputs, automate simulations, run parameter sweeps, control instruments, and analyze results.
• Evaluate voltage, current, power, gain, bandwidth, impedance, noise, timing, stability, thermal behavior, and other relevant outputs.
• Perform corner, tolerance, worst-case, transient, frequency-domain, or Monte Carlo analyses where appropriate.
• Compare simulated behavior with analytical calculations and physical measurements.
• Diagnose problems involving component selection, parasitics, layout, power integrity, signal integrity, thermal behavior, interfaces, or manufacturing.
• Review AI-generated circuit solutions and identify incorrect assumptions, invalid configurations, or unsupported conclusions.
• Develop reproducible reference solutions and automated verification checks.

• An MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline; or
• A BS in Electrical Engineering plus at least 1-2 years of relevant professional circuit-design experience.
• Meaningful experience designing analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, or RF circuits.
• Experience with designs that were fabricated, integrated, shipped, or taped out—not only simulated.
• Practical proficiency with Python.
• Experience with at least one EDA, circuit-simulation, PCB, HDL, synthesis, or verification tool that supports CLI, scripting, text-based inputs, or a programmatic API.
• Strong understanding of circuit behavior, component selection, tolerances, failure modes, and design trade-offs.
• Experience with hardware bring-up, laboratory validation, design verification, or post-fabrication debugging.
• Ability to explain circuit behavior and technical decisions clearly.
• Relevant tools may include ngspice, Xyce, Yosys, Verilator, KiCad scripting, SPICE-compatible simulators, HDL simulators, synthesis tools, or equivalent programmatic EDA software. Experience with a comparable CLI-accessible tool is acceptable.
• Relevant Python tools may include PySpice, Num Py, Sci Py, pandas, Matplotlib, cocotb, instrument-control libraries, EDA APIs, or internally developed automation tools. No single library is mandatory.

Compensation is output-based. Experts are paid per task that meets the project specifications. The time required to complete each task may vary depending on the expert’s experience and workflow. Minimum submission requirements apply.

We typically fill roles within 48 hours and are looking for experts who are ready to begin immediately. If selected, you will be expected to start your first task within 24-48 hours of completing onboarding.
