Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. 24-MAG is offering a specialized consulting opportunity for senior circuit design engineers with doctoral-level expertise. The role focuses on developing complex circuit design problems for an advanced AI research initiative, requiring extensive experience in analog, digital, power, or RF circuit design.
Responsibilities
- Author original, technically rigorous free-response problems involving real-world circuit design
- Develop questions requiring advanced engineering reasoning rather than straightforward textbook recall
- Create scenarios involving analog, digital, power, or RF circuit design
- Incorporate realistic design constraints, specifications, trade-offs, and implementation considerations
- Ensure problems reflect authentic professional circuit design workflows
- Apply advanced circuit theory and electrical engineering principles to complex design problems
- Develop scenarios involving component selection, circuit architecture, performance requirements, and design optimisation
- Incorporate practical considerations such as noise, power, stability, bandwidth, signal integrity, efficiency, or reliability where relevant
- Evaluate design decisions using realistic technical and production constraints
- Ensure technical assumptions and calculations are accurate and internally consistent
- Write complete expert-level solutions for each authored problem
- Clearly document calculations, assumptions, methodology, and engineering reasoning
- Explain relevant circuit behaviour and design trade-offs with appropriate technical depth
- Ensure solutions are rigorous, reproducible, and independently verifiable
- Produce reference answers suitable for evaluating advanced engineering reasoning
- Test authored problems against multiple frontier language models
- Evaluate whether current AI systems can correctly solve each engineering problem
- Identify reasoning errors, design mistakes, calculation failures, or incomplete technical approaches
- Refine problems where necessary to maintain an appropriately demanding level of difficulty
- Validate that each question meaningfully tests advanced circuit design expertise
Skills
- A PhD in Electrical Engineering
- At least 5 years of hands-on professional or industry experience in circuit design
- Substantial expertise in analog, digital, power, or RF circuit design
- Direct experience developing real hardware designs through implementation, production, or tape-out
- Strong command of advanced circuit analysis and design principles
- Experience solving complex engineering problems in professional environments
- Ability to translate real industry challenges into structured technical questions
- Excellent analytical reasoning and technical writing skills
- Hands-on circuit design experience is required
- Design verification experience alone, including roles focused primarily on UVM, SystemVerilog, or DV, does not meet the project requirements
- Candidates should have experience shipping, releasing, or taping out real designs
- Experience within a major semiconductor, electronics, aerospace, automotive, telecommunications, energy, or technology organisation
- Advanced analog or mixed-signal circuit design experience
- Digital circuit or integrated circuit design expertise
- Background in power electronics
- RF or high-frequency circuit design experience
- Experience taking designs through tape-out or production release
- Prior experience authoring engineering assessments, technical problems, or training materials
- Familiarity with AI models or structured technical evaluation
Benefits
- Fully remote with flexible scheduling
- Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
- Independent contractor role
- Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance
- Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution
