About the Opportunity
Turing is looking for experienced Analogue RF IC Designers to develop technical evaluation tasks focused on electromagnetic (EM) simulation and passive on-chip component design.
This freelance project involves creating realistic engineering challenges in which AI models design passive RF components, simulate their performance, and improve their layouts to meet specific technical requirements.
What You'll Do
- Create new evaluation tasks requiring AI models to design passive on-chip components according to technical specifications.
- Develop design specifications for components such as spiral inductors, including inductance, quality factor and area requirements.
- Create reference designs that meet the specified requirements.
- Develop automatic checks that re-simulate submitted layouts and compare results against specifications.
- Review simulation results and improve evaluation tasks.
- Start with a pilot of five tasks and collaborate with the team before expanding the project.
Required Skills and Qualifications
- Hands-on experience in RF Integrated Circuit (RFIC) design.
- Experience designing and laying out passive RF components.
- Knowledge of spiral inductors, transformers, baluns, transmission lines, coupled resonators and quadrature hybrids.
- Experience running electromagnetic simulations on personal layouts.
- Ability to interpret S-parameters, inductance and quality factor results.
- Experience working with GDS layouts and S-parameter files.
- Python programming skills for simulation scripting and automated checks.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with IHP SG13G2 or another open Process Design Kit (PDK).
- Knowledge of KLayout, Palace, openEMS, ngspice and scikit-rf.
- Experience with IIC-OSIC-TOOLS.
- Experience using commercial electromagnetic simulation tools such as Cadence EMX or Ansys HFSS.
- SPICE simulation experience with RF blocks, such as low-noise amplifiers.
Project Technical Details
The project's test chip is a 24 GHz radar receiver front end based on the SG13G2 process. The evaluation tasks will initially focus on passive RF component design and electromagnetic simulation.
Compensation and Working Hours
- Hourly Rate: $40–$100 USD.
- Expected Commitment: 20 hours per week.
- Freelance engagement.
- Short-term project.
- Final payment rate depends on qualifications, expertise, experience and location.
Eligible Locations
Europe, Canada, United States and other eligible locations as specified in the official application.
