Original 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
