Remote Circuit Design Expert — AI Research & Domain Evaluation

Join ZR Talent Group's remote specialist network as a Remote Circuit Design Expert — AI Research & Domain Evaluation earning $80 - $150/hour. Working asynchronously from anywhere in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, or South Africa, you will apply your practical background in Python, Circuit Design to benchmark frontier artificial intelligence models, identify failure modes, and elevate domain-specific accuracy.

Prior experience building machine learning systems is not required—our research partners value authentic practitioner judgment, domain rigor, and clear analytical writing.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

• 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.

Required Qualifications & Technical Criteria

• 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.
• Practical background using designs that were fabricated, integrated, shipped, or taped out—not only simulated.
• Practical proficiency with Python and coding agents
• 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, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, Matplotlib, cocotb, instrument-control libraries, EDA APIs, or internally developed automation tools. No single library is mandatory.
• Process
• Apply to the role and complete the screening questions.
• Complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes.
• Complete the hiring manager review.
• Compensation Structure
• 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.
• Start Timeline & Availability
• 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.
