Hardware Design Engineer (KiCad, PCB) at Turing

Hardware Design Engineer (KiCad, PCB design and verification) | Contractor, ~13 weeks | Remote | Rate not stated

Turing, a San Francisco-based company working with frontier AI labs and enterprises deploying advanced AI systems, is seeking a senior Hardware Design Engineer to develop electronic hardware from requirements through schematic capture, PCB layout, verification, and prototype debugging. The role spans digital and high-speed, power electronics, analog, mixed-signal, sensor, communication, and RF designs.

What the work involves

• Translate product requirements into circuit architectures, hardware specifications, and validated designs.
• Use KiCad for schematic capture, component placement, routing, multilayer PCB layout, design rules, and project management.
• Select components by analyzing datasheets, ratings, footprints, performance, availability, and compatibility; prepare BOMs and alternatives.
• Design PCBs with sound grounding, power distribution, signal integrity, impedance control, thermal management, EMI/EMC, and manufacturability.
• Apply relevant design practices for high-speed interfaces, power circuits, analog and mixed-signal systems, sensors, and RF applications.
• Perform engineering calculations and verify electrical, thermal, and protection requirements.
• Run KiCad ERC and DRC checks, netlist and connectivity checks, schematic reviews, and DFM/DFT assessments.
• Prepare manufacturing documentation and support prototype bring-up, debugging, and validation.

Who it's for

• Senior-level experience: the listing cites 8+ years in the role overview and 10+ years of hands-on electronics hardware design in its required skills.
• Strong KiCad experience across schematic design, PCB layout, routing, design-rule checks, and project files.
• Solid electronics engineering and circuit analysis skills, including interpreting requirements and component datasheets.
• Practical knowledge of PCB design principles, DFM/DFT, component selection, BOM preparation, verification, and debugging.
• Experience with one or more of: digital/high-speed hardware, power electronics, analog or mixed-signal circuits, sensors, communication systems, or RF.

Pay and schedule

• Contract engagement of approximately 13 weeks, with potential for extension.
• Full-time commitment of 40 hours per week.
• Expected start: as soon as possible.
• Hourly rate is not stated in the source listing.
