About Turing

Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.

Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Power Electronics Domain Expert to design, structure, and evaluate advanced PCB design tasks across a wide range of power circuit applications. This role combines hands-on PCB design expertise with the ability to build structured evaluation frameworks for benchmarking intelligent design systems.

Key Responsibilties

• Design power electronic circuits, including DC-DC converters (buck/boost), LDOs, AC-DC/DC-DC power supplies, and automotive systems
• Develop schematics and PCB layouts using tools like KiCad, Altium, or equivalent
• Perform component selection based on datasheets and design requirements
• Analyze designs for efficiency, ripple, thermal performance, and reliability
• Apply PCB best practices, including grounding, routing, EMI, and manufacturability (DFM)
• Generate manufacturing outputs (BOM, Gerber files, pick-and-place data)
• Conduct design validation via simulations, calculations, and DRC checks
• Define and implement verification frameworks covering:Specification validation (voltage, current, efficiency, ripple)
  Component compliance (ratings, derating, datasheets)
  Design correctness (topology and connectivity)
• Establish PCB layout evaluation standards including DRC/LVS, DFM, thermal and power integrity
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine design and evaluation processes

Required Skills

• Strong foundation in power electronics (DC-DC converters, LDOs, etc.)
• Experience in schematic design and PCB layout
• Knowledge of power components (switching regulators, inductors, capacitors)
• Familiarity with PCB design tools (KiCad, Altium, or similar)
• Ability to interpret component datasheets
• Understanding of DRC, manufacturability, and EMI basics

Preferred Skills 

• Experience with AC-DC power supply design
• Knowledge of thermal design and power integrity
• Exposure to automotive or embedded systems
• Familiarity with simulation tools
• Experience building validation/evaluation frameworks
• Ability to define measurable design metrics
• Basic experience with Python or terminal-based verification scripts

Qualification

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5+ years of experience in power electronics or PCB design

Key Compentencies

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• High attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively
• Good communication skills
