Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems.

Role Overview

We are seeking a senior Hardware Design Engineer to develop electronic hardware from requirements through schematic capture, PCB layout, verification, and prototype debugging. The role spans digital and high-speed, power electronics, analog, mixed-signal, sensor, communication, and RF designs.

Experience: 8+ years of experience

Key Responsibilities

• Translate product requirements into circuit architectures, hardware specifications, and validated designs.

• Use KiCad for schematic capture, component placement, routing, multilayer PCB layout, design rules, and project management.

• Select components by analyzing datasheets, ratings, footprints, performance, availability, and compatibility; prepare BOMs and alternatives.

• Design PCBs with sound grounding, power distribution, signal integrity, impedance control, thermal management, EMI/EMC, and manufacturability in mind.

• Apply relevant design practices for high-speed interfaces, power circuits, analog and mixed-signal systems, sensors, and RF applications.

• Perform engineering calculations and verify electrical, thermal, and protection requirements.

• Run KiCad ERC and DRC checks, netlist and connectivity checks, schematic reviews, and DFM/DFT assessments.

• Prepare manufacturing documentation and support prototype bring-up, debugging, and validation.

Required Skills

• 10+ years of hands-on electronics hardware design experience.

• Strong KiCad experience across schematic design, PCB layout, routing, design-rule checks, and project files.

• Solid electronics engineering and circuit analysis skills, including interpreting requirements and component datasheets.

• Practical knowledge of PCB design principles, DFM/DFT, component selection, BOM preparation, verification, and debugging.

• Experience with one or more of these areas: digital/high-speed hardware, power electronics, analog or mixed-signal circuits, sensors, communication systems, or RF.

Project Details:

• Contract Start Date: Expected to start as soon as possible

• Engagement: ~13 weeks (with potential chances of extension)

• Commitment - 40 hours/week

• Engagement Type: Contract
