    Job Description

    We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Technical Problem Authors with deep expertise across engineering domains such as aerodynamics, materials science, CAD/mechanical design, circuit design, and mechanical engineering to contribute to an advanced AI training and technical-reasoning evaluation project.

    Selected professionals will author sophisticated engineering problems, evaluate AI-generated technical responses, apply practical engineering judgement to real-world scenarios, and provide structured feedback that improves technical reasoning and problem-solving quality. No prior experience in AI is required.

    Key Responsibilities

    Advanced Technical Problem Authoring

    • Author expert-level engineering problems within your area of specialisation
    • Develop scenarios across aerodynamics, materials science, CAD/mechanical design, circuit design, or mechanical engineering
    • Create technically rigorous problems that reflect real-world engineering complexity
    • Define clear assumptions, constraints, and expected reasoning paths
    • Avoid oversimplified or purely textbook-style exercises

    AI Technical Response Evaluation

    • Review AI-generated technical responses for correctness and engineering relevance
    • Assess whether proposed methods, calculations, and conclusions are technically sound
    • Identify conceptual errors, unsupported assumptions, or incomplete reasoning
    • Evaluate practical feasibility as well as theoretical correctness
    • Provide structured feedback that supports model improvement

    Engineering Analysis & Problem Solving

    • Apply practical engineering judgement to design, analysis, and failure scenarios
    • Analyse complex domain-specific technical issues
    • Evaluate trade-offs across performance, reliability, manufacturability, and other engineering constraints
    • Identify ambiguities or missing information within technical problem statements
    • Propose clarifications that improve problem quality and interpretability

    Domain-Specific Technical Expertise

    • Contribute advanced knowledge from specialised engineering disciplines
    • Apply tools and methods relevant to fields such as AutoCAD, CFD, FEA, EDA, or laboratory-based engineering
    • Integrate theoretical fundamentals with practical industry experience
    • Evaluate problems using appropriate professional standards
    • Support technically diverse assignments based on project needs

    Technical Feedback & Documentation

    • Provide clear written explanations of technical reasoning
    • Document errors, recommendations, and solution approaches precisely
    • Explain complex engineering concepts in professional English
    • Produce feedback that can be applied consistently by technical reviewers
    • Maintain strong standards of clarity, rigor, and reproducibility

    Collaboration & Quality Assurance

    • Collaborate remotely with technical experts and project participants
    • Review problem statements and evaluation materials for technical quality
    • Contribute recommendations for improving model performance
    • Incorporate feedback into evolving authoring and evaluation workflows
    • Deliver high-quality work within required project timelines

    Ideal Profile

    • Advanced degree such as an MS or PhD in a relevant engineering discipline, or substantial equivalent industry experience
    • 8+ years of experience is highly valuable for Aerodynamics, Circuit Design, or Mechanical Engineering specialisations
    • 5+ years of experience is highly valuable for CAD or Mechanical Design specialisations
    • At least 5 years of hands-on technical experience in a relevant engineering domain
    • Strong practical expertise in areas such as mechanical design, aerodynamic analysis, materials selection, or circuit/system development
    • Demonstrated technical-problem authoring experience is highly advantageous
    • Experience with olympiad problem committees, licensure examination writing, academic qualifying examinations, standards committees, or technical competitions is especially relevant
    • Strong evidence of technical rigor through publications, patents, awards, competition results, or professional committee work is valuable
    • Professional-level English proficiency
    • Excellent written and verbal technical communication skills
    • Familiarity with relevant industry-standard tools such as AutoCAD, CAD suites, CFD/FEA software, EDA tools, or laboratory equipment
    • Strong ability to work independently in a remote project environment
    • No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required

    Engagement Details

    • Independent contractor engagement
    • Fully remote
    • Displayed compensation range: $60–$110/hour
    • Actual compensation structure is output-based, with payment made per task that meets project specifications
    • Task completion time may vary depending on individual experience and workflow
    • Minimum weekly submission requirements apply; the source does not specify the exact number of required tasks
    • Work will involve technical problem authoring, AI-response evaluation, engineering analysis, structured feedback, and quality assurance
    • Assignments may span aerodynamics, materials science, CAD/mechanical design, circuit design, mechanical engineering, and related domains
    • Strong domain expertise and rigorous engineering judgement are central to this engagement
    • Roles are typically filled within approximately 48 hours
    • Selected experts are expected to begin initial tasks within approximately 24–48 hours after onboarding
    • Project scope, workload, engineering domains, and evaluation requirements may evolve depending on project needs
    • Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
