We Finally Know What the Jony Ive-Designed Ferrari EV Looks Like

Posted on by faz_business


After a long wait, and in a rapidly changing electric vehicle climate, the Ferrari Luce has debuted as the company’s first EV. It’s the first Ferrari to to employ a radical new look and new technology—not just under the skin, but in places a driver would see.

The Luce’s exterior was developed with former Apple designer Jony Ive and Marc Newson’s LoveForm creative collective and while there’s a clear attempt to tie it into traditional Ferrari design, it’s a different kind of Ferrari. As a four-door, five-seat vehicle, it’s also different from anything the company has made before, even its Purosangue SUV whose look tries harder to fit in with other Ferraris. There are some curves in the fenders that are reminiscent of what Ferrari’s been doing since the start of the century but also a smooth, almost Apple Magic Mouse, look worked in.

And in a twist on Ferrari’s four round taillight theme, the Luce’s only appear when the car is on. Otherwise, there’s just a black panel. Perhaps it’s color dependent but it looks a little odd in the Azzurro La Plata (Blue-Silver) that Ferrari uses in some photos.

Retractable door handles hide that it’s a four-door vehicle, with the rear doors hinged at the back like the Purosangue’s. In fact, even though the look is far different, the Luce has roughly the same footprint as that SUV despite it looking stubbier thanks to a relatively short front. Either you like it or you don’t.

In February, we got a look at the Luce’s interior, also done with LoveForm. That means there are more screens than typical of a Ferrari, with two Samsung-developed OLED screens, including the center touchscreen infotainment system that can swivel closer to the driver. There’s a lot of aluminum and glass, and even though it looks like there are physical, traditional if you will, Ferrari gauges behind the steering wheel, those are digital.

However, Ferrari’s first EV hasn’t gone nearly all-in on screens or touch-capacitive controls the way Tesla, Lucid and even Volvo and BMW have on their recently released electrics. The gear selector is glass and physical, and there are toggles for various functions, plus four window switches and the drive selector switches on the steering wheel, just like in the company’s other recent products.

The performance should be less controversial with four electric motors netting a total of 1,035 horsepower, with the two rear motors capable of up to 831 horsepower each, giving the Luce a traditional rear bias. The automaker claims acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, and a 193 mph top speed.

The Luce uses an 800-volt electric architecture and a 122-kWh battery pack with the ability to charge at up to 350 kW, which sounds like specs from something like a Porsche Taycan—or Kia EV9. The EPA hasn’t rated it for range, and it’s unclear if U.S. models will work on Tesla’s Supercharger network, but Car and Driver reports Ferrari estimates a 280-mile maximum range.

While fellow supercar brand Lamborghini backed off of its EV goals earlier this year amid an uncertain market for all-electric supercars (and parent company Volkswagen Group’s rather precarious financial situation), Ferrari has persisted. As far back as 2022, Ferrari said EVs would make up 40% of its model line and later said there would be three models, according to Reuters.

However, the automaker said in 2025 that a second EV would be pushed to at least 2028, and Ferrari also delayed the Luce from a 2025 release date, saying EVs would comprise 20% of its model line, with 40% going to hybrids and gas models each. The first Luces will be delivered this fall, although the first U.S. models aren’t expected until Spring 2027. 

The electric supercar market is a small fraction of even the small supercar market. Despite recent claims the second-generation Tesla Roadster was still happening after it was revealed as a prototype and deposits were taken in November 2017, it’s very clearly an afterthought for the company and its CEO. Tesla also recently killed its Model S and X cars and, therefore, the berserk Plaid lineup.

Porsche has been marketing the 1,000 horsepower-plus Taycan Turbo GT since 2024, but it’s a sedan, too, and that company has backed away from going all-electric now that there are expected to be gasoline versions of the previously EV-only 718 sports car and more SUV-like Macan and Cayenne. Mercedes-Benz recently unveiled its new electric AMG GT 4-Door with up to 1,153 horsepower, but that’s much more of a car than the in-between Luce. That leaves the Ferrari Luce in a very small class.

And it’s even more interesting that if Ferrari had not been spun off from the former Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2016, it could’ve ended up as part of the American-French-Italian behemoth Stellantis, which, under new management, has made a big push to add more gas and hybrid vehicles and back off full EVs. In a sense, it’s a miracle the Luce is electric at all, no matter what you think of it and what it represents to Ferrari.

What ClickUp’s mass layoff tells us about the future of work

Posted on by faz_business


AI’s biggest champions have argued for some time that the technology will usher in an era of unprecedented productivity gains, richly rewarding workers who harness it while displacing those who don’t.

Zeb Evans, CEO of the collaboration software startup ClickUp, claims that this shift is imminent. Last Thursday, Evans announced on X that the company, which was last valued in 2021 at $4 billion, had laid off 22% of its workforce yet characterized that reduction as not a cost-cutting measure, but rather a radical embrace of AI that will propel the company to the next level.

“Most savings from this change will flow directly back into the people who stay. We’ll be introducing million-dollar salary bands. If you create outsized impact using AI, you’ll be paid outside of traditional bands,” Evans wrote.

ClickUp recently introduced roughly 3,000 internal AI agents to handle a wide range of complex tasks on behalf of its employees, according to a Fortune article published several days ago. Instead of performing the work themselves, staff members are now expected to direct these agents and ultimately review the output to ensure it meets the company’s standards.

Evans’s goal, according to his X post, is for AI to turbocharge ClickUp into a “100x org.”  

ClickUp is not alone in its hope that AI agents will provide massive productivity gains.

In fact, according to a recent Gartner survey, about 80% of companies using autonomous tech have cut jobs. However, the study found that workforce reductions aren’t necessarily translating into meaningful financial returns.

While Gartner’s findings suggest some companies use unproven AI as an excuse to downsize, ClickUp maintains it is not one of them.

Evans told TechCrunch via email that the startup is indeed seeing productivity gains from AI agents. Not only is ClickUp measuring those efficiencies internally, but it’s also apparently gearing up to include them in a forthcoming product for its customers.   

“Instead of gamifying token cost, we gamify value created and time saved,” Evans wrote.

In recent months, a growing number of companies have started monitoring employee token consumption, using it as a metric to see who is actually adopting AI tools. But critics argue that “tokenmaxxing”—as this concept is known—is the wrong metric because it simply racks up AI expenses.

“The people that automate their jobs with AI will always have a job,” Evans claimed in his post. But if AI keeps taking over more tasks, ClickUp will eventually need fewer and fewer people, eliminating those who fail to automate their functions well.

Tech circles have long theorized about this scenario.

One extreme example of a high-profile startup using AI automation to the max already exists. Polsia, a one-year-old startup that claims to handle all software operations for solopreneurs, is run by just one person: its founder and CEO, Ben Broca. That efficiency is apparently paying off: Polsia just raised $30 million at a $250 million valuation.

Two Grill Probes from Chef IO, with an app on a phone for telling you the temp

CNET

I don’t know how much of my life has been spent hovering over a grill, stove, smoker or oven trying to figure out if the thing I’m cooking for family and friends is actually ready, but I can tell you it’s more than it needed to be. Last year, I picked up one of these Chef iQ wireless probes for a big dinner I was hosting, and now I pull these things out to use them at least once a week. Today, you can get them for way less than I did. 

This kit is a pair of Chef iQ probes in a charging case, which, in my experience, will fully charge both probes twice before it needs charging itself. You pop the probes into whatever you’re cooking, and you can either check the temperature in the app on your phone or set an alert when the thing you’re cooking reaches its desired temp. No opening the oven or smoker to let all the heat out, leading to a more efficient and balanced cook. These genuinely improved my cooking, and now I’ve given them to my brothers to improve theirs. 

Memorial Day just dropped this set to $100, and I’ve only ever seen it cheaper once before. Get yourself one of these, or give them as a gift, and we can all end the act of hovering over the grill. 



(For Southeast Asia) Singapore’s Sands Theatre to host first Gran Turismo World Series event in Southeast Asia on Saturday, 3 October

Posted on by faz_business


25 May 2026 – Round 3 of the 2026 Gran Turismo World Series will be held at Singapore’s Sands Theatre, located in the iconic Marina Bay Sands complex, on Saturday, 3 October, 2026. Tickets are now on sale for the event that will be held in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board and form one of the events of Grand Prix™ Season Singapore (2 to 11 October 2026) as the city builds up to its annual Formula 1 race, that takes place from 9 to 11 October 2026.

A Singapore Regional Time Trial Challenge held in-game on Gran Turismo 7 in August, with participants from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia eligible to take part (Terms and Conditions will be posted on Gran-Turismo.com in due course). The Time Trial will result in competitors from Singapore being joined by the fastest racer from each of the other participating territories, invited to attend the Gran Turismo World Series and compete on stage in a special support race – the Singapore Regional Gran Turismo Cup. 

The Singapore event will be the first time for the Gran Turismo World Series to visit Southeast Asia. Singapore has a strong automotive, motor sport and gaming culture and so an enthusiastic crowd is expected at the Sands Theatre during Grand Prix Season Singapore.

“As an elite sim racing tournament, the highly regarded Gran Turismo World Series reinforces Singapore’s position as a premier destination for world-class sporting and entertainment events. We look forward to the energy and excitement that Round 3 will bring to our city as the penultimate round, adding further vibrancy to this year’s Grand Prix™ Season Singapore,” said Lilian Chee, Director, Sports, Singapore Tourism Board.”

“Singapore is a great place to visit and so we hope that fans of Gran Turismo from across the region will be able to come and watch our top racers in action,” commented Gran Turismo Series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi. “The regional Time Trial is an opportunity for us to discover talented drivers from the region and give them a chance to race on stage in front of a live audience and maybe that experience will give them the confidence to make it into the Gran Turismo World Series in future.”

As well as the Singapore Regional Gran Turismo Cup, fans will have a chance to witness some of the fastest SIM racers in the world in the Manufacturers Cup and Nations Cup with a single ticket covering all three events on the afternoon and evening of Saturday, 3 October. The event is the last points-scoring opportunity before the Gran Turismo World Series moves to Tokyo for the World Finals in early December, and so the competition will be fierce.

Full details of the event and how to purchase tickets can be found at https://www.gran-turismo.com/world/gt7/events/gtws2026/singapore/ticket/

Five reasons the Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro is my go-to smartwatch

Posted on by faz_business


I like what Huawei is doing with its wearable strategy; the brand’s Watch Ultimate 2 is the best high-end smartwatch, and I prefer it to the Galaxy Watch Ultra because of its weeks-long battery life. The Watch GT 6 Pro is a great all-round smartwatch, and Huawei’s latest Watch Fit 5 Pro is aimed towards fitness.

The Watch Fit 5 Pro is aimed at a younger audience, and that’s immediately evident when you look at the choice of colors and the styling of the bands. The smartwatch costs £249 ($335) on Amazon U.K., and it’s available in most countries where Huawei has a presence. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for just over a month now, and here’s why I think it is a better choice than the Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch 8.

The Watch Fit 5 Pro has a stylish design

Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro review on Android Central

Huawei has an orange color of the Watch Fit 5 Pro that stands out considerably — as I found out while using it in Thailand ahead of the launch event. This is a smartwatch that’s designed to grab attention, but it isn’t ostentatious.

Check Out Meshchera, An Atmospheric Match-Three Game For Playdate Set In A Haunted Marsh

Posted on by faz_business


Spiders? Skeletons? Bad omens? My kind of party.

I almost don’t want to call Meshchera a match-three game because I fear that kind of undersells how captivating it is. But, it is a game you play within a six by six grid, in which you have to group matching tiles in clusters of three or more so they may merge and become other, higher value tiles, so that’s the description we’re working with. The atmosphere is off the charts, though, which isn’t something I’m used to finding in these types of games. It has gorgeously detailed artwork and background music that you can get completely lost in.

In Meshchera, you can choose to go for the high score or pick from several challenges that will dictate how you approach the round, like “kill five monsters” or “keep 10 monsters for 10 turns.” The gameboard is a dark marsh that will slowly become overrun with vegetation and creatures, unless you can stay ahead of creep by skillfully matching tiles to condense them into other things. Grasses become flowers, which become trees, campfires, houses, churches, etc. It is a uniquely complex matching game — you’re given next to no information about how the items work or how different elements on the board behave and interact, so you have to figure it out along the way and course-correct as you learn.

A still from Meshchera showing the game board with some illustrations of vegetationkhvoshch

I’ve spent quite a bit of time playing Meshchera over the last week, but certain things still elude me. Take the “create and destroy a Monster” challenge. I have absolutely no idea how to create a monster, and that’s not for lack of trying. But, this gives me something to keep working toward even as my high scores nudge higher and higher. The game includes 10 challenges right now, and the developer says more are coming soon. Meshchera is really good, and feels like the kind of game you can revisit ad infinitum. It’s already found itself a home in my folder of “go-to” Playdate games.

Meshchera isn’t available in the Playdate Catalog (yet?), but don’t let that stop you from trying it out. It’s on itch.io at the moment, and sideloading games onto the Playdate is incredibly easy. Once you have the game file, you can just drag and drop it right into your library by signing into your Playdate account and going to the Sideload tab. This can also be done via USB. Panic has a detailed explanation of all the options, if you need some guidance.

Best 50 Platforms to Hire PCB Designers and Freelance Electronics Engineers for Startups

Posted on by faz_business


Electronic engineering mostly deals with the design and development of the circuitry or PCB (Printed Circuit Board) of electronic products. On the other hand, electrical engineering services is a field of study that focuses on high-voltage hardware such as transformers, switchgear, alternators, generators, and so forth. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the work of electrical and electronic engineers may overlap or be at least similar to the point where they often collaborate on the same projects. And one of the overlapping points is PCB design.

This is especially common in small companies and startups, where the design and layout of PCBs are handled by only one engineer of either category. On the subject of hiring PCB designers for startups, the best sites to find the right talent for hardware projects are engineering-specialized freelancing platforms. When compared to their more generalized counterparts, these platforms have an all-around better industry know-how and freelancers vetting process to help narrow down your search from the get-go.

Among the most popular specialized platforms on the web, Cad Crowd comes out at the top of the recommended list for the sheer number of professionals in its network, flexible hiring options, IP protection services, and commendable support. A more detailed overview of both specialized and general freelancing sites where you can hire PCB designers and electrical/electronic engineers is as follows.

Posting a job is free, but Malt takes a commission (between 10% to 15%) of the project budget if you decide to hire a talent from the platform.

Website: Malt.com

Engineering job boards

One of the biggest differences between freelancing sites and job boards is the interaction between the clients and the job seekers. While this isn’t true for all platforms, most job boards tend to avoid getting involved with project management and communication. With these engineering-focused job boards, however, at least there’s an assurance about the freelancers’ fields of specialization and skill sets. 

Nexxt

8. Nexxt

In short, Nexxt is a multichannel candidate search and job advertising platform with a promising set of features designed for small businesses and startups alike. Nexxt maintains a network of active job boards (each for a specific job category), and it forwards the job post to the relevant partner site on behalf of the clients. For example, most (if not all) of the engineering projects are distributed to TechCareers, a job board for the tech sector, including electronic engineering and PCB design. Nexxt offers premium features such as candidate search, email newsletters, text messaging broadcasts, and custom web pages; all of these features are run as targeted campaigns.

Technojobs logo

9. Technojobs

A leading talent recruitment platform in the UK with more than 20 years of experience in the business, Technojobs offers instant access to a CV database of over 200,000 qualified freelancers specializing in IT and tech sectors. It also claims to add around 9,000 fresh CVs every month. Registered employers can target specific niche skills or locations, receive updates of new CVs relevant to the projects, and bulk message potential candidates. Technojobs doesn’t appear to be a free platform, as it offers a “CV database demo,” indicating that there’s a premium option for clients. Pricing information is unclear. 

Website: Technojobs.co.uk

Electronics Weekly

10. Electronics Weekly Jobs

Another UK-based premium job board, Electronics Weekly Jobs, is even more specific about the tech sector it serves. The platform is a place for job seekers to discover employment opportunities in the electronics industry, and nothing else. It says to post only the best range of electronic jobs and career advice for professionals, which makes sense considering the fact that a single job post costs £599 (around $800). At that price, the job post remains active on the site for 28 days, and you get to manage the incoming applications online. It also provides bespoke recruitment solutions. 

Website: Electronicsweekly.com

engineeringjobsnet logo

11. Engineering Jobs

In terms of features and functionality, Engineering Jobs is similar to Technojobs. However, the former covers a much broader engineering skill set in the talent database, and most of the electronics design freelancers are based in the United States. Engineering Jobs is neither a staffing firm nor an employment agency; it’s simply an online space where clients can post their engineering projects and freelancers can apply for jobs. Clients can choose to receive applications via email or route the applications to an ATS. A single job post on the platform costs $199, for which the project remains active for 60 days. 

Website: Engineeringjobs.net

IEEE Jobs

12. IEEE Job Site

When it comes to specialized job boards for engineering projects, it’s surprising how IEEE Job Site still somehow isn’t as frequently mentioned as the alternatives all across the web. In case you haven’t noticed, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is among the largest and most popular international organizations for electrical and electronics engineering. The job site should be packed with both young and experienced engineers eager to contribute to new, exciting projects. It’s a premium platform; each job post costs $299 with a lot of optional upgrades to increase exposure.

Website: Jobs.ieee.org

NSPE

13. NSPE Career Center

It’s a job board run and maintained by the NSPE (National Society of Professional Engineers). And by “professional,” it means licensed. NSPE Career Center is therefore an excellent resource for professional engineering employment, a place for clients to post projects and for job seekers to discover the next career opportunities. As far as job boards go, the Career Center is ideally sitting up there in terms of popularity with IEEE Job Site, although in reality, both aren’t as widely known as they should be to small businesses and startups alike. Career Center offers more than 3,600 searchable engineers’ resumes. The platform caters to all engineering specialties, but there’s always a filtering option to narrow down your search. Posting a job to the Career Center costs $350 for members, or $425 for non-members.

AISES

15. AISES Career Hub

The idea behind AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society) is to promote an increased representation of the indigenous people of North America and the Pacific Islands in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) careers and studies. It’s a nonprofit organization with a built-in job board, called Career Hub, on the website. You can post a project to the hub for $249, and the platform offers various updates to gain access to additional features such as a resume database and targeted email campaigns. 

Website: Careers.aises.org

Tech Jobs For Good

16. Tech Jobs for Good

While the platform doesn’t say anything about electrical/electronic engineering and PCB design, Tech Jobs for Good has at least two relevant categories: Design and Hardware Engineering. Tech Jobs for Good says it has around 260,000 annual job seekers with an average work experience of 7 years. More than half of the job seekers registered on the site are women. The vast majority of the job seekers visiting the platform are based in the United States, yet they’re open to remote roles. A standard job post costs $195, and registered clients are granted access to the candidate database.

Engineers Australia logo

17. Engineers Australia

Home to more than 40,000 engineering students and recent graduates, Engineers Australia makes for an ideal place for startups to look for fresh, junior, and relatively affordable PCB design talent from the continent. In Australia itself, it’s a popular platform for companies to fill internship positions and graduate programs. If you’re based in the United States (or anywhere else for that matter) but willing to hire relatively inexperienced remote freelancers for your electronic and PCB design project, Engineers Australia is an excellent platform to attract the right candidates. You can post a job to the platform through Prosple.

Website: Engineersaustralia.org.au

Online engineering communities

It’s a good thing that many online engineering communities host not only industry news, general discussions about the field of study, project ideas, and current trends in the profession, but also job boards maintained by and for members. Job boards within online forums are often free. Some examples are listed below.

Allaboutcircuits

18. All About Circuits

Neither a full-on job board nor a freelancing platform, All About Circuits is an independent online forum for electrical and electronic engineers. It’s a pretty busy platform loaded with discussions about hardware design, test equipment database, embedded software, programming, etc. You can also find an educational podcast channel and video lessons on the site. Under the “community” section of the forum, there’s a job and career advising thread where you can start a discussion about your project and find a potential hiring opportunity. 

Website: Allaboutcircuits.com

RELATED: Best 49 Sites to Hire Altium Designers & Freelance Engineers for Electronics PCB Engineering

EDAboard

19. EDAboard

Another online forum that hosts discussions about all things electronics, EDAboard also has a dedicated section for employers to post freelancing opportunities. Because the forum focuses on Electronic Design Automation (sometimes referred to as ECAD or electronic computer-aided design), every job post about electronic engineering or PCB design projects on the site will almost definitely gain exposure from the right audience. There’s no member and jobseeker vetting process here, so it pays to practice due diligence, such as checking the candidates’ profiles on the site and asking for sample works before hiring. 

Website: Edaboard.com

Upverter

20. Upverter Community – Jobs

A lot of online communities fly under the radar in the freelancing world. Most manufacturing companies, including small businesses and startups, tend to search for talent in general job boards or freelance marketplaces without realizing that thousands of viable candidates find a home in specialized online forums scattered all over the web. The Upverter Community, an online forum for hardware electronics discussion, is no different. The job section isn’t the busiest in the world with new postings every day, but it doesn’t change the fact that your project will be displayed right in front of the ideal crowd here. This is a targeted job posting done in the most practical fashion. Also, the forum mentions that the job section prefers projects by startups.

Website: Forum.upverter.com

EEVblog

21. EEVBlog Electronics Community Forum

Probably best known for its YouTube channel, the EEVBlog maintains a strong online presence through its electronics community forum. You’ll find two employment-related sections: “Jobs” and “Work Wanted” as you scroll down the homepage to the General category. The forum makes clear that it prefers job postings from direct employers. Commercial companies are also welcome, but it won’t accept any talent-scouting posts from recruitment agencies. You can also browse members’ profiles in the Work Wanted section to search for potential candidates. Again, no companies are allowed to offer services here.

Website: Eevblog.com

Ennomotive

22. Ennomotive

Essentially a crowdsourcing platform, Ennomotive allows you to post a project as an open challenge. You can offer a reward in the form of either monetary or a collaboration agreement to any member who solves technical issues or proposes the most viable solution for the project. The platform claims to have on its back a large network of more than 25,000 professionals and startups, all specializing in IoT innovations and mechanical engineering. It’s not a direct hiring platform, but you can use the “open challenge” feature as an effective talent-finding tool. 

Website: Ennomotive.com

hackaday logo

23. Hackaday

There are many things in common between Ennomotive and Hackaday. Both are online communities for 3D engineering professionals and enthusiasts, allowing every member to share a project and invite others to collaborate. Hackaday maintains that the platform is meant to be a repository of open hardware (mostly electronics) projects. The open nature of the platform might not be ideal if you’re posting a project or innovation concepts that are supposed to be proprietary IP, but you can always submit a test challenge to see if any member makes for a potential freelance hire.

Website: Hackaday.io

RELATED: Top 32 Sites for Freelance PCB Designer Jobs & Remote Electronics Engineer Work Projects

Make Projects

24. Make:Projects

Another open, crowdsource-based platform, Make:Projects, welcomes every hardware engineer out there to share ideas for innovations and suggest solutions to technical issues for other members. The platform has direct messaging features and group chat to facilitate easy communication. Since it operates in more or less the same way as either Ennomotive or Hackaday, you can use it as a hunting ground for the freelance electronic engineering talents you need. Make:Projects is the brainchild of the collaboration betweenProjectBoard and Make: Community.

Website: Makeprojects.com

Fedevel

25. Fedevel Forum

The main site of Fedevel is designed to be an educational platform that bridges the gap between electrical engineering knowledge and real-life problems commonly encountered in embedded systems. It features courses and resources in various categories, including PCB design and layout designers, homemade electronic products, circuit simulation, etc. The forum section of Fedevel hosts a “Jobs” category, where clients can post job openings and freelancers can sell their skills and services. You’ll also find tips, career advice, and general discussion about talent hunting in the category. 

Website: Fedevel.com

General job boards

Although there may be some differences in features and user interface, most job boards work more or less the same way. Clients can post projects with specific requirements, and freelancers send job applications through the platforms. Some job boards allow freelancers to apply directly to the employers’ emails. Among the most popular general job boards on the web are as follows.

Working Nomads logo

26. Working Nomads

A single job post on Working Nomads costs $199. It also offers volume discounts if you need to post three or more projects. Every job post is distributed to the platform’s network of social channels, including the LinkedIn profile and 55,000 active email subscribers. Working Nomads claims to attract an estimated 3 million visitors to the site per year. There’s no freelancer vetting process, and because this isn’t a specialized job board for electronic engineers, the responsibility to screen the applicants falls on the clients themselves. 

Website: Workingnomads.com

remotive logo

27. Remotive

With a bold claim of being the only remote-focused global job board for tech startups, Remotive is certainly worth a look in your search for an electronics engineer and PCB design professional. While the freelancers on the site can browse for jobs at no cost at all, employers can’t enjoy the luxury of using a search function to find relevant candidates. But you can post a job, which costs $299, for which the post will stay active on the site for a month. There are multiple optional upgrades to boost job visibility.

Website: Remotive.com

Weworkremotely

28. We Work Remotely (WWR)

The base price for listing a job on We Work Remotely is $299 per month. Similar to Remotive, WWR also offers various upgrades to help your post gain greater visibility on both the main site and the distribution partners’ pages. Much like all other general job boards out there, WWR doesn’t prioritize any specific profession, educational background, location, or experience. It’s just a simple, straightforward platform where you can post a job and receive applications from interested freelancers in your email inbox. We Work Remotely says every job post is reviewed by a real human instead of a bot, and the applicants are filtered according to your job requirements manually as well.

RemoteOK logo

29. Remote OK

There doesn’t seem to be any striking difference between Remote OK and We Work Remotely in terms of features and how the systems work on the platforms. Remote OK appears to aggregate job postings from various sites across the web, compiling them together for freelancers to see. On the client’s side, a single standard job post costs $269, and there are plenty of optional upgrades such as displaying your company logo, email campaign, auto talent matching, geo-lock, and more. The homepage says the platform is frequented by more than 3 million remote workers on a monthly basis.

Website: Remoteok.com

FlexJobs logo

30. FlexJobs

If many of the alternatives charge you a fee for every single job post, FlexJobs offers a membership starting at $199 per month, for which you have an unlimited number of job ad inventory, unlimited resume searches, and an easy ATS integration. The account comes with a 7-day refund policy in case your search turns out to be fruitless on the platform. The good thing is that you don’t actually have to purchase the monthly subscription for your first five job postings. FlexJobs is neatly integrated with its sister site Remote.co, meaning your job post will be displayed on the two platforms for additional exposure.

Website: Flexjobs.com

SimplyHired logo

31. SimplyHired / Indeed

Primarily a job search platform built for freelancers, SimplyHired handles its job postings from clients through the Indeed website. Free job posting on Indeed gives you standard visibility, although the site doesn’t really specify what “standard” is. The premium option is called “Sponsored Jobs” with flexible pricing starting at $5 per day to a minimum monthly budget of $150. Keep in mind that it can get expensive because the total fee is calculated from the number of clicks you get. At the same time, the pay-per-click means you only have to pay for every potential candidate visiting your post. 

Websites: Simplyhired.com / Indeed.com

ZipRecruiter Logo

32. ZipRecruiter

You have three employer account plan options on ZipRecruiter: Standard, Premium, and Pro. But no matter which plan you purchase, it comes with flexible daily per-job pricing or a monthly subscription. There’s also a free trial, and you get to make your first job post free of charge. The platform is known for its broad partnerships with dozens of job boards, smart AI matching technology, and a mobile-friendly interface. Your job post will be broadcast to more than 100 partner sites, and you can attach screening questions to filter the candidates from the start. 

Website: Ziprecruiter.com

Glassdoor

33. Glassdoor

It wouldn’t be entirely accurate to say that Glassdoor is a mere job board for employers. The platform is a place where you can promote your companies (instead of projects) to 3D design freelancers and job seekers worldwide with a range of profile-building features. Only when you purchase the premium account do the features to sponsor open jobs become available. These features include premium branded content and advanced insights into job seekers. In short, Glassdoor offers not only an advanced platform to attract freelancers but also an assortment of effective tools to gain insight into the workforce landscape and broadcast your profile to millions of job seekers.

General freelancing platforms

Everybody from any educational background and level of experience is welcome. Many general freelancing platforms have low barriers to entry, but a select few implement stricter requirements in the hope of maintaining a high standard of quality for clients. And this is usually reflected in the average pay rate of the freelancers registered to the platforms, as in, you’ll often see high rates from those in the latter category. Some of the most popular options are listed below.

kolabtree logo

34. Kolabtree

What makes Kolabtree a unique proposition as a talent marketplace is that it provides a platform for companies and small businesses alike to hire expert freelancers for short-term projects. The phrase “expert freelancers” in this case refers to certified professionals with a doctorate degree and published research. Kolabtree focuses on such fields of study as healthcare, food & beverage, microbiology, and biotechnology.

Website: Kolabtree.com

LinkedIn logo initial

35. LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Setting itself apart by framing its presence as a professional networking platform, LinkedIn is a busy place frequented by startups, small businesses, large corporations, recruitment agencies, and self-employed professionals. The platform offers a lot of features, both free and premium, for employers to post job opportunities and find talent from any background. For example, the LinkedIn Recruiter feature gives you access to a candidate database with advanced filtering options and intelligent matching. There’s also LinkedIn Jobs, with which you can post jobs and target them only at relevant members. LinkedIn says that a premium job post receives 3x the number of qualified applicants compared to the free option.

Website: Linkedin.com/talentsolutions

workhoppers logo

36. Workhoppers

It’s interesting how Workhoppers says that the talent and job matching algorithm in the platform is built like a dating site with a semantic approach to rank candidates. And the result is a lower likelihood of irrelevant freelancers applying to your job post. Every job post on Workhoppers is broadcast to more than 100 partner job boards and through social media. It’s a premium job site, but currently the employer registration process is handled by freelance.ca and freelance.jobs websites, where basic membership is free.

Website: Workhoppers.com

peopleperhour logo

37. PeoplePerHour

Based in the United Kingdom but with a user base spread across more than 100 countries, PeoplePerHour is one of the better-known general freelancing platforms out there on the interweb. The platform promises that every single freelancer registered to the site has been manually reviewed and approved, but the talent matching service is almost entirely done by AI for efficiency.

Website: Adzuna.com

expert360 logo

46. Expert360 Remote Talent

For every 10 freelancers registering for Expert360, only 1 makes the cut. This is probably why the platform refers to the 3D design freelancers in its database as “experts.” All of them are based in Australia and New Zealand. Expert360 offers an easy-to-use job posting feature, where you get to ask seven questions to determine the candidate requirements and receive no more than two applicants (for efficiency) considered ideal to fill the role in under 48 hours.

The future of AI is landing in Taipei. At NVIDIA GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX, the world’s developers, researchers and industry leaders are converging to dive into the latest breakthroughs shaping every industry, covering topics spanning AI factories and scaling infrastructure to agentic and physical AI and more. 

Hear from NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang live on stage at Taipei Music Center on Monday, June 1, 11 a.m. Taipei time. Tune in early to catch the GTC Live at Taipei 2026 pregame show, featuring lively conversations with industry leaders about the latest innovations in AI and accelerated computing.

This is the place to find all the latest — stay tuned to the blog for live updates.

 
Sunday, May 24, 7 a.m. PT

It’s not a trip to Taipei without a stop at the Raohe St. night market. Matcha and mango shave ice hit the spot on a warm evening.

 
Saturday, May 23, 5:35 a.m. PT

The Countdown to NVIDIA GTC Taipei Begins

NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang meets with industry leaders, dignitaries, developers and NVIDIA employees ahead of GTC Taipei.

Hours after landing, Huang made a surprise visit to Meet-a-Claw, where NVIDIA and Taiwan’s developer community gathered for an afternoon of demos, tech talks and networking — an opportunity to get hands on with autonomous agents and OpenClaw.

Because OpenClaw is open source, it’s available for everyone to use and build their own AI agent. Huang described some of the ways OpenClaw agents secured by NVIDIA OpenShell can be of service for everything from software programming to marketing and content creation.

“It’s become a really, very powerful assistant,” Huang said. “The era of useful AI has arrived. That’s what this event is about, to show you what open source agents can do and then you can go create your own.”

Huang fielded a few questions from the assembled press, including the status of NVIDIA’s pending Taipei office. Huang smiled before offering his response.

“I think I’m going to give you an update on the headquarters this week,” he said. “It could be a secret … I might show you what the building is going to look like.”

Well, if it was a secret, it isn’t now. Come back for the latest on the NVIDIA Taipei office design and all the action in the run-up to NVIDIA GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX.

The air buzzed with excitement as NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang touched down in Taipei Saturday afternoon, greeted by a flurry of journalists and cameras. This set the tone for the weeks ahead — kickstarting the countdown to NVIDIA GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX.

Speaking with media on site, Huang said, “Vera Rubin is the largest product launch, probably in the history of Taiwan. Each one of the Vera Rubin systems consists of almost 2 million parts, and it includes 150 different ecosystem partners here in Taiwan to build it.”

NVIDIA Wins COMPUTEX 2026 Best Choice Awards for Innovations Spanning AI Factories, Robotics and Autonomous Vehicles 

NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, NVIDIA Jetson Thor and NVIDIA Alpamayo were honored across four categories at Asia’s premier technology and computer trade exhibition.

At this year’s COMPUTEX Best Choice Awards (BCA), NVIDIA today received honors recognizing its innovation in AI computing, integrated circuits and autonomous vehicle (AV) development.

The NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale AI supercomputer won a Golden Award and the Sustainable Tech Special Award; the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform for edge AI and robotics won a Golden Award; and the NVIDIA Alpamayo open platform for AV development won the Vehicle Technology and Smart Cockpit Category Award.

Entries were evaluated on their functionality, innovation and market potential, showcased at the premier computer and technology trade exhibition.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, will deliver a keynote at COMPUTEX on Monday, June 1, at 11 a.m. Taipei time.

NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Takes Home COMPUTEX Awards

Securing a Golden Award and the Sustainable Tech Special Award, Vera Rubin NVL72 connects 36 NVIDIA Vera CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs — unified by the sixth-generation NVIDIA NVLink Switch for scale-up — with ConnectX-9 SuperNICs and Spectrum-X Ethernet Photonics co-packaged optics switches for scale-out and scale-across, as well as BlueField-4 DPUs to accelerate data processing across storage and security. 

Vera Rubin NVL72 delivers up to 10x higher inference performance per watt and 10x lower cost per token. When paired with NVIDIA Groq 3 LPX, Vera Rubin NVL72 delivers up to 35x higher throughput per watt for trillion-parameter models.

Designed for agentic AI, reasoning and long-context workloads, it enables AI factories to scale intelligence inside the rack and across the data center with secure, continuously available deployment.

The Vera Rubin NVL72 sets the bar for scalability, resiliency and sustainable AI infrastructure. Its cable-free, hose-free, fanless modular tray design reduces assembly time from two hours to five minutes per compute tray. 

The system’s power shelves deliver 6x more onboard energy storage for intelligent power smoothing, protecting both the rack and the broader power grid from steep load swings. In addition, its 100% liquid-cooled architecture operates at 45 degrees Celsius, meaning it drops seamlessly into existing liquid-cooled data centers and enables ambient-air, dry-cooler designs that redirect power from cooling overhead into token generation.

More BCA Wins for NVIDIA Technologies

NVIDIA Jetson Thor won a Golden Award as the most powerful edge AI compute platform built for physical AI and autonomous robots. Powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell GPU architecture, it delivers up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI performance — 7.5x the compute and 3.5x the energy efficiency of the previous NVIDIA Jetson Orin generation — in a compact module configurable between 40 and 130 watts. 

Already in production across hundreds of applications, Jetson Thor is built to bring generative AI to smart robots, industrial systems, medical devices and autonomous machines while maximizing run-time performance and memory optimization.

Plus, NVIDIA Alpamayo won the Vehicle Technology and Smart Cockpit Category Award for pioneering open, reasoning-based autonomous vehicle development. Alpamayo is designed to help developers tackle rare, complex long-tail driving scenarios — such as interpreting an ambiguous hand signal from a pedestrian, determining the right-of-way when traffic lights and road markings contradict each other, and safely passing an emergency vehicle parked partially in the lane ahead — which fall outside typical training experience

The Alpamayo open platform includes Alpamayo 1.5 and Alpamayo 1, 10-billion-parameter chain-of-thought reasoning vision language action models for AV research; AlpaSim, an open source, end-to-end simulation framework for high-fidelity AV development; and NVIDIA Physical AI Open Datasets, which include more than 1,700 hours of driving data across geographies and conditions.
