Electronics Specialist - LTspice

$65–123/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Engineering

Use LTspice to design, simulate, troubleshoot, and document real-world analog and power electronics circuits for an AI training project. The work requires professional LTspice experience, clear step-by-step explanations, English proficiency at B2 level or higher, and the ability to record your screen.

The work

This remote contractor role involves creating and simulating circuits in LTspice, then documenting how each task was completed. Day-to-day work may include building schematics, configuring transient, AC, and DC analyses, interpreting waveforms, troubleshooting circuit behavior, improving performance, and writing detailed prompts or instructions for electronics simulation tasks.

Technical scope

The project covers SPICE simulation, analog circuits, power electronics, and circuit schematics. PCB design and mixed-signal experience are preferred but not required. You should be able to distinguish a genuine circuit issue from a model, configuration, timestep, convergence, or measurement problem, and explain that diagnosis in a reproducible sequence.

Screening focus

The platform is likely to verify your professional LTspice experience through specific project examples and technical follow-up questions. Expect to explain simulation setup choices, model assumptions, waveform interpretation, troubleshooting methods, and how you would judge whether an AI-generated circuit or analysis is correct. English proficiency at B2 level or higher is required. A relevant master's degree or PhD in Electrical or Electronics Engineering and previous Human Data experience, such as data annotation, RLHF, or AI model evaluation, are preferred.

Logistics

The role is remote and contractor-based. Access to LTspice and the ability to record your screen while completing tasks are required. The listing does not specify typical weekly hours or whether all work is asynchronous, so candidates should be prepared to state their availability and confirm scheduling expectations during screening.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your LTspice experience is tied to a verifiable engineering outcome rather than tutorials or general familiarity with the interface.
A strong answer: Use one concrete project and name the topology, important component models, analysis directives, measured outputs, and the design decision supported by the results. Clearly separate what you personally did from the wider team's work.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing LTspice as a general skill without naming a circuit, simulation setup, waveform, or decision that can withstand technical follow-up.
