About the role

You will design practical KiCad tasks, document them clearly in SuperAnnotate, ensure your setup supports the task, and record yourself executing the task on your computer.

Tasks may include creating schematics, placing components, assigning footprints, routing PCB traces, managing layers, checking design rules, generating Gerber files, editing symbols/footprints, organizing projects, or troubleshooting common PCB design issues. Your work will help train advanced AI models to better understand how real users complete electronic design and PCB layout workflows.

Your KiCad expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by teaching them how real users complete practical electronics, schematic capture, and PCB design workflows.

  • Comfortable using a computer, managing project files, installing/opening required programs, navigating engineering/design software, and recording workflows.
  • Ability to come up with realistic and challenging KiCad tasks that reflect actual electronics, PCB design, prototyping, engineering, repair, or hardware-development use cases.
  • Strong understanding of KiCad basics such as projects, schematic symbols, footprints, nets, PCB layers, routing, design rules, vias, zones, ERC/DRC checks, and fabrication outputs.
  • Ability to ensure your setup supports the task, including having KiCad installed, sample projects/components available, libraries configured, and any required references ready before recording.
  • High attention to detail when preparing the task, executing the workflow, and checking that the recording is complete, accurate, and understandable.
  • Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
  • Additional professional skills are appreciated, including electronics, electrical engineering, embedded systems, hardware prototyping, CAD, technical documentation, or other computer-based workflows.
