About this Role
About Turing
Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.
Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Power Electronics Domain Expert to design, structure, and evaluate advanced PCB design tasks across a wide range of power circuit applications. This role combines hands-on PCB design expertise with the ability to build structured evaluation frameworks for benchmarking intelligent design systems.
Key Responsibilties
Design power electronic circuits, including DC-DC converters (buck/boost), LDOs, AC-DC/DC-DC power supplies, and automotive systems Develop schematics and PCB layouts using tools like KiCad, Altium, or equivalent Perform component selection based on datasheets and design requirements Analyze designs for efficiency, ripple, thermal performance, and reliability Apply PCB best practices, including grounding, routing, EMI, and manufacturability (DFM) Generate manufacturing outputs (BOM, Gerber files, pick-and-place data) Conduct design validation via simulations, calculations, and DRC checks Define and implement verification frameworks covering:Specification validation (voltage, current, efficiency, ripple) Component compliance (ratings, derating, datasheets) Design correctness (topology and connectivity) Establish PCB layout evaluation standards including DRC/LVS, DFM, thermal and power integrity Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine design and evaluation processes
Required Skills
Strong foundation in power electronics (DC-DC converters, LDOs, etc.) Experience in schematic design and PCB layout Knowledge of power components (switching regulators, inductors, capacitors) Familiarity with PCB design tools (KiCad, Altium, or similar) Ability to interpret component datasheets Understanding of DRC, manufacturability, and EMI basics
Preferred Skills
Experience with AC-DC power supply design Knowledge of thermal design and power integrity Exposure to automotive or embedded systems Familiarity with simulation tools Experience building validation/evaluation frameworks Ability to define measurable design metrics Basic experience with Python or terminal-based verification scripts
Qualification
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field 5+ years of experience in power electronics or PCB design
Key Compentencies
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills High attention to detail Ability to work independently and collaboratively Good communication skills
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
Compensation Analysis
Work from anywhere, at any time. This fully remote position ($40/hr) breaks down geographic barriers, allowing you to earn US-competitive rates regardless of your local market. It is a perfect stepping stone for building a career in the data labeling and AI training ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a software engineer?
Not anymore. Turing built its reputation matching senior engineers with Silicon Valley companies, but they have heavily pivoted into AGI infrastructure. They now hire non-engineering domain experts, technical writers, and researchers for post-training data annotation and RLHF. A strong analytical background and excellent English are required, but you do not need to code.
How does matching work?
Turing calls it the 'Intelligent Talent Cloud.' You build a profile and go through deep vetting — automated tests, an AI-powered interview, and practical skill assessments. Once vetted, Turing's algorithm automatically surfaces you to partner companies (Fortune 500s and top AI labs). You don't browse job boards or bid on work — matches come to you.
How does payment work?
You are hired as an independent contractor, responsible for your own local taxes. Turing collects payment from the client and pays you monthly in USD via Deel, Payoneer, or direct bank/wire transfer. Monthly pay is standard for long-term contract roles — if you need weekly cash flow, this structure requires adjustment.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
