ASIC/SoC Design & Verification Engineer

$70 - $100 per hour
Temporary

AuraOne

About the role

ASIC/SoC Design & Verification Engineer is a remote red-team track for stress-testing AI systems against adversarial prompts. Reviewers craft attack scenarios, document the failure mode, and pair each successful jailbreak with the rubric clause it violated so the safety team can patch the gap.
Adversarial evaluation is how AuraOne hardens AI models before they ship to customers. Reviewers think like attackers and write up failures with enough rigor that the modeling team can reproduce, fix, and regress-test them.
Probe AI systems for prompt injection and insecure code. Find the misuse paths.

Responsibilities

  • Design adversarial prompts that probe known weakness classes (jailbreak, policy bypass, prompt injection) for ASIC/SoC Design & Verification Engineer assignments.
  • Document every successful attack with reproduction steps and the policy clause it violated.
  • Score model defenses across single-turn and multi-turn conversations.
  • Triage emerging attack vectors and route them to the safety team with severity ratings.
    Track Adversarial evaluation Work model Remote · Independent specialist contractor Compensation $70–$100 / hr Eligible from US

What you should bring

  • Demonstrated experience red-teaming AI systems, security research, or adversarial ML work for ASIC/SoC Design & Verification Engineer work.
  • Strong written communication — your reports become the patch ticket.
  • Comfort working in policy-grey areas with clear documentation of what was attempted and why.
  • Familiarity with prompt-injection, jailbreak, and policy-bypass taxonomies.
  • Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Role signals

Example tasks

  • Construct a 5-turn adversarial conversation that bypasses a specific policy clause and write up the patch ticket.
  • Score a model's defenses against a known jailbreak pattern across 20 variants.
  • Propose a new red-team rubric category after spotting an emerging attack vector.
  • Reproduce a failure another reviewer reported and confirm the severity tag.

Useful experience

  • Background in offensive security, AppSec, or trust & safety operations.
  • Experience publishing or reproducing public adversarial-ML research.
  • Multilingual fluency for cross-language attack testing.

Compensation and schedule

$70–$100 / hr
Expected arrangement: contractor , with program-defined task volume and review pacing. Placement depends on current program demand and reviewer confirmation.

Skills used in matching

  • Adversarial prompting
  • Red-team analysis
