Technical Problem Author, Engineering

Apply your engineering expertise to create the real-world technical inputs that help next-generation AI systems learn, reason, and perform. This remote contractor opportunity focuses on advanced engineering problems across areas including aerodynamics, materials science, CAD and mechanical design, circuit design, and mechanical engineering. Prior AI experience is not required. Key Responsibilities

• Author and evaluate advanced technical problems in your area of expertise.
• Review AI-generated technical responses for correctness, accuracy, and engineering relevance.
• Apply practical engineering judgment to design, analysis, and failure scenarios, as well as theoretical problem contexts.
• Analyze and troubleshoot complex domain-specific issues, identify ambiguities, and clarify technical statements and conditions.
• Provide structured feedback and clear written and verbal explanations that strengthen AI learning and reasoning.
• Collaborate remotely with technical experts and project participants to provide high-quality domain input.
• Document insights and recommendations to support continuous model improvement and refinement of problem statements.

• Advanced degree, such as an MS or PhD, in a relevant engineering discipline, or substantial industry experience.
• For aerodynamics, circuit design, or mechanical engineering, 8+ years of experience is preferred. For CAD or mechanical design, 5+ years is preferred.
• At least 5 years of hands-on technical experience in areas such as mechanical design, aerodynamic analysis, materials selection, or circuit and system development.
• Demonstrated technical problem-authoring experience, such as work with olympiad problem committees, licensure exam item writing, academic qualifying exams, standards committees, or technical competitions.
• Flagship publications, patents, industry awards, competition results, or committee service demonstrating technical rigor.
• Professional-level English proficiency and exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Familiarity with relevant engineering tools, including AutoCAD, CAD suites, CFD or FEA software, EDA tools, or laboratory equipment.
• Ability to work independently and remotely while delivering high-quality work within required timelines.

• Remote independent contractor engagement.
• Work is output-based, and the time needed to complete tasks varies by experience and workflow.
• Minimum submission requirements apply, including a minimum number of task submissions each week.
• Selected candidates should be ready to begin their first tasks within 24 to 48 hours after completing the required setup process.

• Compensation is $80 to $110 per hour.
• Payment is issued per task that meets project specifications.
