We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for licensed US chemical engineers with professional experience in process design, process safety, plant operations, technical documentation, and industry-standard simulation tools.
This role supports an AI research initiative focused on improving how advanced systems understand and reason about chemical engineering topics. Selected professionals will evaluate written and AI-generated content, answer technical questions, identify relevant reference materials, and provide practical insight into real-world chemical engineering workflows, standards, and professional decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
Chemical Engineering Content Evaluation
- Review written content and AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, relevance, and professional quality
- Assess whether calculations, analyses, recommendations, and conclusions reflect sound chemical engineering practice
- Identify incorrect assumptions, process-design errors, safety concerns, and technical inconsistencies
- Evaluate content within the candidate's strongest areas of chemical engineering expertise
Domain-Specific Analysis
- Answer chemical engineering questions using clear, well-reasoned technical explanations
- Apply professional judgment to process design, plant operations, process safety, and engineering documentation
- Assess whether responses account for operating conditions, material properties, equipment limitations, and safety requirements
- Provide corrections and supporting rationale where content requires improvement
Standards & Reference Review
- Review the application of process-safety standards and industry guidance, including OSHA PSM and relevant API standards
- Identify reliable technical references appropriate to assigned engineering topics
- Assess whether cited methods, standards, and assumptions suit the relevant process context
- Highlight safety, regulatory, operational, and procedural considerations affecting engineering decisions
Engineering Workflows & Tools
- Share insight into practical chemical engineering workflows, tools, and quality-control processes
- Evaluate content involving Aspen, MATLAB, process simulators, or comparable engineering software
- Review process documentation, standard operating procedures, calculations, and technical training materials
- Collaborate asynchronously with a small group of subject-matter experts across different fields
Ideal Profile
Strong candidates may have:
- At least 2 years of professional chemical engineering experience
- An active Professional Engineer licence in the United States
