What you'll do

Gridnaut Recruiting is hiring a remote CAD / PCB / 3D Design Engineer — AI Evaluation contractor to support a leading AI lab. You will contribute domain expertise to model training, evaluation, and structured task review. Work is fully remote, hourly, and flexible.

Who we're looking for

Electronics / PCB: schematic capture, layout, DRC/ERC, footprints, and enclosure fit using KiCad (kicad-cli, pcbnew Python API); openEMS or RF/EM simulation is a plus.
3D / Spatial-Temporal: scene construction, animation, rigging, physics, and camera work in headless Blender driven by Python, plus rendering with PyVista/VTK.
Turn real design work from your field into self-contained tasks: a prompt, input files (STEP, KiCad projects, .blend files, meshes), and an automated grader.
Build and iterate on tasks with an AI coding agent (Claude Code) and version them in Git.
Run each task against frontier models, read the model transcripts, and close leaks and shortcuts until the task is hard for the right reasons.

Compensation

Pay range is $60–$100/hr depending on experience and demonstrated skill. Strong contributors may be promoted based on task quality and throughput.

Commitment

Flexible part-time hours, fully remote. Hourly contractor engagement.
