IsoData; United States; Remote; USD 179,000 - 331,000; Part time

Job summary

IsoData is seeking experts in electrical and computer engineering to design and evaluate technical problems for real-world boards and systems. You will craft engineering challenges, include reference solutions, and provide rubrics for grading accuracy across topology, timing, and fault tolerance.

The role emphasizes hands-on hardware understanding, verification of designs in simulations, and the ability to explain practical constraints on analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits.

Qualifications

• A degree in electrical or computer engineering.
• A project you built yourself and can explain in depth.
• Core skills in at least two areas, such as circuit analysis, digital logic, signals and systems or embedded C.
• Attention to tolerances, margins and failure modes.

Responsibilities

• Write power-electronics and analog design problems, such as sizing a buck converter to a ripple spec, with a worked reference answer and a rubric.
• Grade model answers on topology, stability, timing and real-world constraints, such as a control loop with too little phase margin.
• Write digital design tasks in Verilog or VHDL with testbenches that expose corner‑case bugs, such as a FIFO that fails when it fills up.
• Review embedded firmware, such as an interrupt handler or a sensor driver, for race conditions and timing bugs.
• Write signal‑processing and control problems, such as designing a filter to a stated attenuation, with checkable answers.
• Judge whether a design that works in simulation would survive tolerances, noise and temperature on a real board.

Job description

Remote, United States. Project-based.

For engineers who can tell a design that simulates correctly from one that works on a real board. Author and grade problems in circuits, signals, power, digital design and embedded systems.

Pay: $130 to $240 an hour, paid per accepted task. There is no guaranteed project, task volume, hours or pay.

You must live in the US, be at least 18 and be authorized to work in the United States. We accept applications on an ongoing basis.

What you would do

• Write power-electronics and analog design problems, such as sizing a buck converter to a ripple spec, with a worked reference answer and a rubric.
• Grade model answers on topology, stability, timing and real-world constraints, such as a control loop with too little phase margin.
• Write digital design tasks in Verilog or VHDL with testbenches that expose corner‑case bugs, such as a FIFO that fails when it fills up.
• Review embedded firmware, such as an interrupt handler or a sensor driver, for race conditions and timing bugs.
• Write signal‑processing and control problems, such as designing a filter to a stated attenuation, with checkable answers.
• Judge whether a design that works in simulation would survive tolerances, noise and temperature on a real board.

The minimum

• You study at or graduated from a college or university in electrical or computer engineering or a related field.
• A circuit, board, chip, firmware or system project you built yourself and can explain in depth.
• Core skills in at least two areas, such as circuit analysis, digital logic, signals and systems or embedded C.
• Attention to tolerances, margins and failure modes.

Ideal

• A degree in electrical or computer engineering; a master’s or PhD is even better.
• Professional design, test or firmware work, especially at an AI lab or AI company.
• Hands‑on lab skill: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and bringing up a new board.
• Products, publications or patents others rely on.

This position covers

Analog and mixed‑signal circuits, Power systems and power electronics, Signals and control, Digital design and RTL, Embedded systems and firmware, Computer architecture.
