About this role
Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for skilled KiCad users to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, or embedded hardware design to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand electronics design tasks and EDA workflows.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.
Who This Is For
This is a good fit if you're an experienced KiCad user who has worked in or around roles like:
- Hardware Engineer or Embedded Systems Engineer
- PCB Designer or Electronics Technician
- IoT Developer or Circuit Design Engineer…
