Electrical Engineer for AI Hardware Development [Remote]

Join a leading Silicon Valley AI lab as an Electrical Engineering Expert, where you will leverage your extensive semiconductor design and tapeout experience to drive advanced AI hardware initiatives. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology in a remote work environment. Key Responsibilities

• Provide expertise across Analog, Mixed-Signal, RFIC, ASIC, or Physical Design workflows.
• Review semiconductor architectures, implementation methodologies, and silicon design tradeoffs.
• Support tasks related to tapeout flows, verification, timing closure, and silicon validation.
• Assist in evaluating and improving AI systems trained on hardware engineering workflows.
• Offer technical insights based on real-world production silicon experience.

• Hands-on ownership of chip blocks/systems through tapeout.
• Experience with advanced semiconductor PDKs such as TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, or Intel.
• Familiarity with pre- and post-silicon development flows.
• Strong understanding of schematic design, simulation, verification, DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction, and silicon bring-up.
• Prior experience in at least one of the following:
• Analog/Mixed-Signal Design (ADCs, PLLs, LDOs, SerDes, PMICs, sensor interfaces).
• RFIC Design (LNAs, mixers, transceivers, PLLs, PAs, mmWave systems).
• ASIC/Physical Design (RTL, synthesis, STA, floorplanning, CTS, PnR, ECO flows).

• Production silicon experience preferred over purely academic or simulation-based work.
• Experience taping out RF designs at GHz/mmWave frequencies.
• Strong ability to explain architectural, power, performance, and timing tradeoffs made during implementation.
• Experience working on advanced-node semiconductor designs.
• Prior exposure to AI hardware, accelerators, or high-performance compute systems.

Estimated commitment: 15, 20 hours/week.

Approximately USD 100/hour.
