You will create, solve, validate, and review engineering tasks involving analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, and RF circuits. You will assess whether circuit solutions meet electrical and functional requirements, identify unsupported conclusions in AI-generated work, and produce reliable reference solutions.
The work combines circuit analysis, simulation, verification, technical writing, and Python automation. You will use command-line-accessible tools and compare analytical calculations, simulated behavior, and physical measurements where appropriate.
- Design, analyze, and validate circuit solutions across analog, digital, power, mixed-signal, and RF domains.
- Turn electrical requirements into schematics, netlists, models, hardware descriptions, constraints, and simulation inputs.
- Run simulation, synthesis, and verification workflows with command-line, scripted, text-based, or programmatic tools.
- Use Python for input generation, simulation automation, parameter sweeps, instrument control, and results analysis.
- Evaluate voltage, current, power, gain, bandwidth, impedance, noise, timing, stability, and thermal behavior.
- Perform corner, tolerance, worst-case, transient, frequency-domain, and Monte Carlo analyses when appropriate.
- Diagnose issues involving components, parasitics, layout, power integrity, signal integrity, thermal behavior, interfaces, or manufacturing.
- Review AI-generated circuit solutions and create reference answers and automated verification checks.

About AI training work
AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including reviewing model answers and checking technical solutions. People with specialist knowledge help make those examples accurate, explainable, and useful.
