Job summary

DataAnnotation is seeking an experienced electrical engineer to evaluate how frontier AI models handle real electrical and electronics engineering tasks from home. You bring years of hardware design, debugging, and shipping experience; we provide challenging problems for AI to reason about circuits and physical constraints.

As an independent contractor, you choose projects and work on your schedule, with pay on an hourly basis. This role offers flexibility and remote collaboration across regions.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of industry experience in circuit or electronics engineering.
• Background in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Strong command of circuit analysis and design tradeoffs, and the ability to defend component-level and system-level decisions.
• The ability to articulate why an answer is wrong, not only that it is.
• Working comfort with AI tools, or the ability to pick them up quickly.
• A current, in progress, or completed Bachelor’s is preferred but not required.

Responsibilities

• Design challenging, realistic engineering problems from your own practice: a circuit to specify, a control loop to stabilize, a power stage to size.
• Run those problems through frontier AI models and judge the output against your professional standard.
• Compare two model versions on identical prompts and call which performed better, and where each fell short.
• Critique model-generated derivations, schematics, component selections, and calculations, and write the reasoning behind them.
• Flag concrete failures with evidence: wrong assumptions, sign and unit errors, unphysical results, invalid topologies, fabricated datasheet values, off-brief interpretation.
• Contribute across analog, RF and mixed-signal circuits, electromagnetics and antennas, control and systems, devices and materials, signal processing, photonics, and power and energy systems
