Remote | Simulation Engineer — $50–$80/hour

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced engineering professionals with deep applied expertise in simulation, quantitative design, and first-principles engineering across control systems, analog or RF circuits, power electronics, or mechanical design. This role focuses on creating rigorous engineering simulation problems with quantitative specifications and measurable pass/fail criteria. Selected experts will define simulations, design technically challenging engineering tasks, establish acceptance thresholds, and evaluate whether proposed designs satisfy all stated requirements. Key Responsibilities Engineering Simulation Design Develop technically rigorous simulations within your engineering domain Define realistic system behaviour, constraints, parameters, and operating conditions Build simulations that allow candidate designs to be tested quantitatively Ensure simulations accurately reflect relevant engineering principles Design problems that require genuine technical reasoning rather than simple factual recall Specification & Acceptance Criteria Create detailed engineering specification sheets Define clear quantitative requirements and pass/fail thresholds Establish measurable criteria for evaluating design performance Ensure all specifications can be validated through simulation Identify interactions or trade-offs between competing design requirements Control Systems Develop simulation problems involving control-system design and tuning Define performance requirements for parameters such as stability, response characteristics, and controller behaviour Evaluate proposed controller gains and system configurations Assess whether designs satisfy all specified operating constraints Apply first-principles reasoning to complex dynamic-system problems Analog, RF & Power Electronics Design engineering tasks involving analog circuits, RF systems, or power electronics Define circuit parameters and measurable electrical-performance requirements Simulate proposed designs and evaluate whether specifications are satisfied Assess trade-offs between competing circuit-design objectives Identify technically invalid or incomplete design approaches Mechanical Design Develop simulation-based problems involving mechanical geometry and design parameters Define quantitative requirements for system or component performance Evaluate candidate geometries against specified engineering constraints Assess whether proposed designs satisfy multiple interacting requirements Apply practical mechanical-engineering judgement to simulation outcomes Python-Based Simulation Develop and maintain engineering simulations using Python Translate physical and engineering relationships into computational models Implement quantitative tests and automated acceptance checks Ensure simulations behave predictably across relevant parameter ranges Validate simulation outputs and identify modelling errors or unintended shortcuts Engineering Problem Design Create problems that are challenging even for technically sophisticated solvers Structure tasks so that successful solutions require iterative reasoning and design Avoid problems that can be solved through obvious shortcuts Ensure sufficient complexity while maintaining objective evaluation criteria Write clear prompts that accurately communicate engineering objectives and constraints Design Evaluation Evaluate proposed designs such as controller gains, circuit parameters, or mechanical geometries Run candidate solutions through simulations and interpret resulting performance Determine whether each design satisfies all required specifications Identify failed constraints, engineering weaknesses, and invalid assumptions Provide technically precise evaluation of proposed solutions Quality & Rigour Verify that simulation logic, specifications, and grading criteria are internally consistent Ensure engineering problems can be judged objectively and reproducibly Identify edge cases or loopholes that could undermine task quality Maintain high standards of numerical accuracy and technical rigour Refine problems based on observed solver behaviour and evaluation outcomes Ideal Profile Deep applied expertise in at least one of the following areas: Control Systems Analog Circuit Design RF Engineering Power Electronics Mechanical Design PhD or equivalent industry track record in a relevant engineering discipline Strong understanding of first-principles engineering analysis and quantitative design Comfortable building engineering simulations in Python Able to express engineering requirements as measurable, testable thresholds Experience designing or analysing systems where multiple specifications must be satisfied simultaneously Strong ability to judge technically complex solutions rigorously Comfortable working with GitHub Comfortable using browser-based technical tools Strong written communication and technical documentation
