Semiconductor and Chip Design Engineer

You will create realistic semiconductor engineering scenarios and review AI-generated technical work. Your feedback will help assess whether designs, methods, assumptions, and recommendations are accurate and practical.

The work focuses on chip design and related engineering workflows, including digital and analog IC design, RTL, verification, physical implementation, fabrication, and tape-out.

• Create expert-level problems and scenarios covering IC design, RTL, verification, physical design, fabrication, and tape-out.
• Review AI-generated designs, responses, methodologies, assumptions, and recommendations for technical accuracy and practical feasibility.
• Assess synthesis, simulation, timing analysis, place and route, layout, design-rule checking, physical verification, and related workflows.
• Evaluate reasoning across ASIC, SoC, FPGA, VLSI, EDA, and semiconductor process topics.
• Write clear feedback explaining errors, risks, assumptions, and ways to improve the work.

This is an ongoing, project-based contractor opportunity that can fit alongside your current role. Work is remote and asynchronous, and project availability may vary.

• Schedule: No set schedule or minimum hour requirement.
• Experience: At least two years of hands-on industry experience in chip design, semiconductor engineering, or a related engineering field.
• Education: A graduate degree in electrical, electronics, computer engineering, or a related field, or a bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering with strong industry experience.
• Expertise: At least one area such as IC design, RTL and VLSI, functional or formal verification, physical design, timing closure, EDA flows, fabrication, DFT, synthesis, layout, DRC, or tape-out.
• Communication: Strong written communication, careful attention to detail, and the ability to explain complex chip-design concepts clearly.
• Work style: Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous setting.
