In this role, your engineering judgment will help benchmark AI capabilities in electronics and power systems. The work is remote and flexible, making it possible to contribute to cutting-edge technology while choosing a workload of at least 20 hours per week.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking a Power Electronics PCB Design Expert to design, structure, and evaluate advanced PCB design tasks across a range of power circuit applications. The role combines hands-on circuit and layout expertise with the development of structured evaluation frameworks for intelligent design systems.

This is a worldwide, remote contractor opportunity offered on a part-time basis. The project is listed at an entry-level experience classification, while the role requirements call for 5+ years of experience in power electronics or PCB design.

• Work remotely from anywhere worldwide
• Contractor and part-time engagement
• Expected availability of 20+ hours per week
• English-language work

What You'll Do

You will create and assess power electronics designs, validate their technical correctness, and help define measurable standards for evaluating AI-generated or AI-assisted PCB work.

• Design DC-DC converters, including buck and boost circuits, LDOs, AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies, and automotive systems
• Develop schematics and PCB layouts using KiCad, Altium, or an equivalent design tool
• Select components using datasheets and stated design requirements
• Analyze efficiency, ripple, thermal performance, and reliability
• Apply grounding, routing, EMI, and design-for-manufacturability best practices
• Generate BOMs, Gerber files, and pick-and-place manufacturing data
• Validate designs through simulations, calculations, and design rule checks
• Define verification frameworks for specification validation, component compliance, and overall design correctness
• Establish evaluation standards covering DRC/LVS, DFM, thermal performance, and power integrity
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine design and evaluation processes

Required Qualifications

Applicants should have a strong foundation in power electronics and practical experience developing schematics and PCB layouts. The role requires the ability to interpret component documentation and assess whether designs meet technical and manufacturing expectations.

• Strong knowledge of power electronics, including DC-DC converters and LDOs
• Experience with schematic design and PCB layout development
• Knowledge of switching regulators, inductors, capacitors, and other power components
• Familiarity with KiCad, Altium, or similar PCB design tools
• Ability to interpret component datasheets
• Understanding of DRC, manufacturability, and basic EMI principles
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in power electronics or PCB design

Helpful Background

The following experience can help you contribute to a broader range of power electronics design and evaluation tasks, though it is identified as helpful rather than required.

• AC-DC power supply design
• Thermal design and power integrity
• Automotive or embedded systems
• Simulation tools
• Building validation or evaluation frameworks
• Defining measurable design metrics
• Basic Python or terminal-based verification scripts
