About The Position

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
You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:
Schematic capture, PCB layout, or embedded hardware design using KiCad or LibrePCB
IoT hardware design, embedded systems, or EDA tool workflows
Annotating or labeling circuit schematics and PCB design assets
Reviewing PCB designs for accuracy, performance, or design consistency
What You'll Do
You'll use your experience with KiCad to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world hardware engineering and PCB design workflows.
No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Requirements

• At least 3+ years of hands-on experience with KiCad, whether through professional work or freelance projects.
• A working knowledge of schematic capture, PCB layout concepts, and EDA workflows
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
