PCB Design Specialist for AI Evaluation

PCB Tool Specialists apply hands-on PCB layout, schematic capture, and embedded hardware design experience to evaluate AI-generated electronics design outputs, critique simulation flow, and provide targeted feedback that helps AI models better understand electronics design tasks and EDA workflows.

• Review and evaluate AI-generated PCB layouts, schematics, and related EDA outputs for correctness, clarity, and manufacturability.
• Use domain expertise from PCB layout, schematic capture, or embedded hardware design to identify errors, ambiguities, and improvement opportunities in model outputs.
• Develop domain-specific prompts and test cases to probe model behavior on electronics design tasks.
• Assess and annotate LLM responses and simulation results, including Ngspice, Qucs-S, and SPICE-related outputs, to produce actionable feedback for AI research teams.
• Work independently to complete asynchronous evaluation tasks and report findings to project teams.

• Minimum of 1+ year of professional experience using one or more of the following tools: LibrePCB, KiCAD, Ngspice, Qucs-S, LTspcie, or other related PCB and circuit simulation tools.
• Practical experience with PCB layout, schematic capture, or embedded hardware design workflows.
• Comfort working asynchronously with AI research teams and following structured evaluation instructions.

• Part-time, hourly contract engagement.
• Remote and asynchronous work, performed independently from any location.
• Flexible hours with no minimum weekly commitment required.
• Ongoing, project-based assignments that you can take on alongside other commitments.
• Placement into specific projects depends on project availability.

Up to $125/hr (depending on the project)

• F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible to participate, but you must consult your Designated School Official to confirm eligibility.
• If your school requires CPT to be tied to an academic course, this type of project-based contract work may not meet that requirement.
• STEM OPT is not supported for this work.
• Supported work authorizations can vary by project, so review the program support resources or guidance for details.

• Create a candidate profile with the program and provide required information.
• Complete any necessary identity verification steps.
• Review and join relevant projects, complete onboarding for those projects, and agree to evaluation guidelines.
• Begin performing evaluation tasks and receive compensation as you complete assigned work.
