Domain Expert: Electronics & EDA (KiCad)

About Turing:

Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a KiCad Task Executor with practical experience in electronic design automation, schematic capture, and multi-layer PCB layout. The role involves executing complex hardware-design tasks, recording human reference demonstrations, validating task solvability, identifying electrical edge cases, and testing automated grading rules.

Target Applications and Toolchain

KiCad, Eeschema, Pcbnew, Gerber, Design Rule Check (DRC), and the KiCad Python API.

Job Responsibilities:

• Complete multi-step schematic-wiring and PCB trace-routing tasks in remote Ubuntu/Linux desktop environments.
• Record clean human execution trajectories, including keystrokes, mouse-routing actions, footprint placement, and DRC runs.
• Identify ambiguous electrical specifications, missing footprints, clearance conflicts, and software-interface issues.
• Route PCBs and wire schematics using alternative valid design paths to verify accurate automated grading.

Job Requirements:

• Practical hands-on experience with KiCad for schematic capture and multi-layer PCB routing.
• Strong knowledge of PCB layouts, schematic wiring, footprints, symbols, routing, and DRC error resolution.
• Ability to navigate EDA tools efficiently and apply routing best practices.
• High attention to pin assignments, component orientation, and clearance constraints.
• Clear written English for submitting bug reports and execution feedback.
• Experience working in remote Linux desktop environments, including noVNC or VNC is preferred
• Experience in PCB layout review, hardware testing, or EDA benchmarking is preferred.

Engagement Details:

• Engagement Type: Pay per task
• AHT (Average Handling Time) : 60 minutes per task.
• Start Date: As soon as possible.
• Duration: 5 weeks, with potential for extension.
