About The Job
Mercor connects elite creative and technical talent with leading AI research labs. Headquartered in San Francisco, our investors include Benchmark , General Catalyst , Peter Thiel , Adam D'Angelo , Larry Summers , and Jack Dorsey .
Position: Electrical Engineering Expert (Semiconductor / ASIC / RFIC)
Type: Contract
Compensation: $100/hour
Location: Remote
Commitment: 15–20 hours/week
Role Responsibilities
  • Contribute expertise across Analog, Mixed-Signal, RFIC, ASIC, or Physical Design workflows.
  • Review semiconductor architectures, implementation methodologies, and silicon design tradeoffs.
  • Support tasks related to tapeout flows, verification, timing closure, and silicon validation.
  • Assist in evaluating and improving AI systems trained on hardware engineering workflows.
  • Provide technical insight based on real-world production silicon experience.

Qualifications
Must-Have
  • Hands-on ownership of chip blocks/systems through tapeout.
  • Experience with advanced semiconductor PDKs such as TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, or Intel.
  • Familiarity with pre- and post-silicon development flows.
  • Strong understanding of schematic design, simulation, verification, DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction, and silicon bring-up.
  • Prior experience in at least one of the following:
  • Analog/Mixed-Signal Design (ADCs, PLLs, LDOs, SerDes, PMICs, sensor interfaces)
  • RFIC Design (LNAs, mixers, transceivers, PLLs, PAs, mmWave systems)
  • ASIC/Physical Design (RTL, synthesis, STA, floorplanning, CTS, PnR, ECO flows)

Preferred
  • Production silicon experience preferred over purely academic or simulation-based work.
  • Experience taping out RF designs at GHz/mmWave frequencies.
  • Strong ability to explain architectural, power, performance, and timing tradeoffs made during implementation.
  • Experience working on advanced-node semiconductor designs.
  • Prior exposure to AI hardware, accelerators, or high-performance compute systems.
