[Hiring] Electrical & Circuit Design Expert @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Electrical and Circuit Design professionals with strong expertise in analog, digital, mixed-signal, power electronics, RF and microwave systems, semiconductor devices, computer architecture, and advanced circuit analysis to contribute to an AI training and electrical-engineering evaluation project.

Selected professionals will solve and review complex circuit-design problems, assess AI-generated technical responses, analyse real-world electrical-engineering scenarios, and provide rigorous feedback across analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, and RF domains. The work requires strong hands-on design experience, precise engineering judgement, and the ability to explain sophisticated circuit concepts clearly. No prior experience in AI is required.

  • Provide structured feedback to improve model performance
  • Distinguish substantive engineering problems from acceptable alternative approaches
• Technical Communication & Collaboration
  • Document engineering reasoning clearly and precisely
  • Provide detailed written and verbal technical explanations
  • Collaborate remotely with other subject-matter experts and project participants
  • Support consistency across evaluation tasks and review criteria
  • Contribute practical engineering context to AI-training workflows

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or BS in Electrical Engineering with 8+ years of relevant industry experience
