About this role, in micro1's words
micro1 is selecting Electrical & Circuit Design Experts to contribute to a customer's project focused on advancing the capabilities of AI technologies in electrical engineering. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required, your domain knowledge is what matters. This is an opportunity to impact the future of engineering by ensuring that AI systems can accurately interpret, solve, and explain complex circuit design challenges across analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, and RF domains. Experts with a passion for precision, technical detail, and clear written and verbal communication will find this engagement both rewarding and influential.

- Document feedback and provide clear written and verbal explanations to enhance AI learning and performance.
- Collaborate remotely with a distributed team of experts and project participants.
Candidate background
Preferred Qualifications
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or BS in Electrical Engineering with 8+ years of relevant industry experience.
- At least 5 years of hands-on experience in analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, or RF circuit design, including participation in hardware that has reached production or tape-out.
- Expert knowledge of analog/mixed-signal design, digital logic, semiconductor devices, power electronics, RF/microwave systems, and control systems.
Show all 8 itemsHide the other 5 in Preferred Qualifications
- Proven ability to analyze complex circuits using Thevenin equivalents, Hybrid-π models, FSMs, and timing analysis.
- Familiarity with semiconductor reliability concerns, EMC, and modern CMOS scaling.
- Professional English proficiency with exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience with IC/ASIC design, EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics), PCB design, or high-speed digital/RF system validation is a plus.
- Strongly preferred — evidence of problem-authoring rigor, such as: service on an IEEE/JEDEC/IPC standards committee; an item-writer role on an NCEES or academic qualifying-exam committee; a verified tapeout (Google/efabless open MPW shuttle or documented industry silicon); a top placement or team-lead role in the ISSCC Student Design Contest, DAC Ph.D. Forum, ICCAD CAD Contest, or IEEE SSCS Chipathon; a best-paper award at ISSCC, JSSC/VLSI Symposia, CICC, ESSCIRC, or DAC; a granted patent tied to shipped silicon; or an early-career fellowship/grant (NSF CAREER, DOE Early Career, ONR/AFOSR YIP, DARPA YFA, Sloan Fellowship).

- Before your first paid task
- An AI interview with micro1's recruiter Zara, then your profile, ID verification, a KarmaCheck background check and the Deel contract. Some pipelines add a quiz or test task. micro1.ai/experts, micro1.ai/ai-interview-guide, library.micro1.ai/getting-started/next-steps-after-certif..., library.micro1.ai/working/faqs, library.micro1.ai/working/what-to-expect
- How much work
- Certification makes you eligible but does not guarantee placement. micro1's FAQ puts the usual commitment at about 15 to 20 hours a week, depending on the client. micro1.ai/experts, library.micro1.ai/working/faqs
- Contract

Alex's experience on micro1A personal account, not a promise about your project
Alexruns this site and has worked on micro1 himself. Written 31 Aug 2026.
- Every interview I took used an AI interviewer, and some included a timed business exercise of around 25 minutes.
- On later applications, interview reuse on micro1 was often partial, and I still answered questions about one to three additional skills.
- I entered a requested rate for the job. One listing showed about $180 an hour. I requested about $160 and received the rate I entered. Those amounts are approximate, and this describes my application, not proof that a lower request caused acceptance.
- Onboarding and setup came to about 2 hours, with clear materials. Of the three platforms I worked on, it was the easiest transition into work. That is an estimate from my projects, not a platform average.
- On my micro1 project, Hubstaff showed time and mouse or keyboard activity, not screenshots, app names or website history. That describes what I saw, not every possible setup.
- I was paid for hours logged, once every 14 days, and I have not experienced late or incorrect payments. That was my arrangement.

Platforms sometimes change a rate after posting. Every listing here is re-read at least once a day and corrected when its source moves, so a difference you see on the platform is usually a change made since the last read. How freshness works.
