About this Role
From the Turing listing
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 looking for an experienced Power Electronics PCB Design Expert to design, evaluate, and validate power electronic circuits and PCB layouts. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in power supply design, component selection, PCB layout best practices, and design verification methodologies.
Key Responsibilties
Design power electronic circuits including DC-DC converters, LDOs, AC-DC power supplies, and automotive power systems. Create schematics and PCB layouts using tools such as KiCad, Altium, or equivalent. Select components based on electrical, thermal, and reliability requirements. Perform design analysis for efficiency, ripple, thermal performance, EMI, and manufacturability. Generate manufacturing deliverables including BOMs, Gerber files, and assembly data. Validate designs through simulations, calculations, DRC/LVS checks, and design reviews. Develop and apply verification frameworks for schematic and PCB layout quality, including specification compliance, topology validation, component derating, DFM, thermal integrity, and power integrity.
Required Skills
Strong understanding of power electronics fundamentals (DC-DC converters, switching regulators, LDOs, power components). Hands-on experience with schematic design and PCB layout. Proficiency with PCB design tools (KiCad, Altium, or similar). Ability to interpret datasheets and validate component selection. Knowledge of DRC, manufacturability, grounding, routing, and EMI best practices.
Preferred Skills
Experience with AC-DC power supply design and automotive electronics. Familiarity with thermal analysis, power integrity, and simulation tools. Experience developing hardware validation or evaluation frameworks. Basic scripting experience (Python/terminal-based verification workflows).
Qualification
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field. 5+ years of experience in power electronics and PCB design.
Key Compentencies
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Attention to detail and design quality. Ability to work independently and collaborate across teams. Effective communication skills.
Requirements
- Electronics
- Finance
- Must be eligible to work in one of: Remote, Democratic Republic of Congo
Why This Role
Shape the "brain" of future AI. By working as a Power Electronics PCB Design Expert, you ensure that future models understand the nuance of your field. At $50/hr, it's a lucrative way to preserve the integrity of your profession in the digital age.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a software engineer to work for Turing?
No, not anymore. Turing built its name matching senior engineers with Silicon Valley companies, but it has since expanded into AGI infrastructure work and now hires non-engineering domain experts, technical writers, and researchers for post-training data annotation and RLHF. A strong analytical background and excellent English matter more than coding ability.
How does Turing's talent matching work?
Turing calls it the Intelligent Talent Cloud. You build a profile and go through vetting (automated tests, an AI-powered interview, practical skill assessments), and once vetted, Turing's algorithm surfaces your profile directly to partner companies like Fortune 500s and top AI labs. You don't browse listings or bid on work; matches come to you.
How and when does Turing pay contractors?
Monthly, in USD, via Deel, Payoneer, or direct bank transfer. You're engaged as an independent contractor responsible for your own local taxes. Plan your cash flow around a monthly cycle if you're used to weekly payouts elsewhere.
What does task-based AI training work actually look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Generalist work look like for a Power Electronics PCB Design Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a Power Electronics PCB Design Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Turing's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Can I apply from outside Democratic Republic of Congo?
This specific role is restricted to Democratic Republic of Congo. If you are outside these locations, applying is unlikely to result in an offer even if you pass the assessment. Check the full job description for any VPN or tax-residency caveats.
