Electrical Engineering Specialist Fully Remote
About the job Mercor connects elite creative and technical talent with leading AI research labs. Headquartered in San Francisco our investors include Benchmark General Catalyst Peter Thiel Adam DAngelo Larry Summers and Jack Dorsey. Position: Electrical Engineering Expert (Semiconductor / ASIC / RFIC) Type: Contract Compensation: $100/hour Location: Remote Commitment: 1520 hours/week Role Responsibilities
- Contribute 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.
- Provide technical insight based on real-world production silicon experience.
Qualifications
Must-Have
- 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)
Preferred
- 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.
