Embedded Systems Developer, AI Model Training

Temporary

Crucial Recruiting

Embedded Systems Developer, AI Trainer (Remote, Flexible Hours)100% Remote | Work When You Want | Part-Time or Full-Time | Freelance Contract | $40 to $125 per hour


Fully remote. Work when you want. Get paid for what you already know. Applying takes just a few minutes with your resume.
We are partnering with DataAnnotation to find experienced embedded systems developers to work as remote AI trainers and evaluate how frontier AI models handle real embedded and electronics engineering work: specifying a circuit, stabilizing a control loop, sizing a power stage and debugging a signal chain. The models can talk fluently about electronics; what they cannot yet do reliably is the actual work. This is project-based, 100% remote work you do from home on your own schedule, alongside a current job, including evenings and weekends.
Already have a DataAnnotation account? This opportunity runs through our partnership with DataAnnotation. If you have already taken a DataAnnotation starter assessment, you are not eligible to apply through this posting. If you created an account but never took the assessment, you can still apply.


What the Work Involves
  • Design realistic engineering problems from your own work, with the supporting files an engineer would use: schematics, simulation setups, datasheets, board files, measurement data
  • Run those problems through frontier AI models and grade what they produce against a professional standard
  • Critique model-generated derivations, schematics, component selections, simulation setups and design calculations
  • Compare two model outputs on the same problem and document where each fell short
  • Write grading rubrics and the reasoning behind your judgment
  • Flag concrete failures: wrong assumptions, sign and unit errors, unphysical results, invalid component or topology choices, misapplied approximations, fabricated datasheet values, misread schematics and plots
Areas of ExpertiseYou need depth in at least one of these, plus enough working knowledge of the others to judge work in adjacent areas:
  • Embedded systems and controls
  • Analog, RF and mixed-signal
  • Power electronics
  • Signal processing
  • Electromagnetics and antennas
  • Photonics and optoelectronics
  • Electric power and energy systems
Who This Is For
  • 2+ years of industry experience in embedded, circuit or electronics engineering (5+ years is a plus), currently or recently doing the technical work yourself
  • Background in electrical or electronics engineering or a closely related discipline; hands-on experience matters more than degrees or certifications
  • Strong command of circuit analysis and design tradeoffs, and able to defend component-level and system-level decisions
  • Fluent in the tools of the field: SPICE or similar, schematic capture and PCB tools, lab instruments, MATLAB or Python
  • Meticulous: you check your own work and enjoy finding the edge case that breaks an assumption
  • Hands-on practitioner: you currently do, or recently did, the work yourself as an individual contributor, not solely as a manager
  • Strong written English; you can explain clearly why a result is wrong, not only that it is
  • Familiar with AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT, with the judgment to tell a well-reasoned answer from a plausible-sounding wrong one
  • Comfortable working independently, following detailed written instructions and incorporating feedback
Pay, Hours and Location
  • Pay: $40 to $125 per hour, depending on project and expertise. Bonus rates are available on some projects. Paid via PayPal on a regular schedule. You are paid for every step you complete
  • Hours: Work whenever it suits you, including evenings and weekends. Minimum 10 hours per week with no maximum. This project prioritizes 30 to 40 hours per week, and full-time hours are available. Multi-day task timers let you spread work across days
  • Location: 100% remote, work from home. Must be based in the United States, Canada, or the UK
  • Tools: Access to the AI models you will evaluate is provided; no personal subscription needed
How to Apply
  1. Apply here with your resume. It takes just a few minutes, and there are no interviews
  2. We review your background against the role
  3. If it's a fit, we send you a link to take DataAnnotation's skills assessment. It's unpaid, takes about 1 to 2+ hours and tests domain judgment and careful reading. The assessment must be entirely your own work; AI-assisted submissions are detected and rejected
  4. If you pass, you complete onboarding and a short training project, then propose and build tasks from your own professional experience, with expert review and written feedback at each stage
Crucial Recruiting and Sidebar Talent are working together on this search in partnership with DataAnnotation via Navaday.
