Technical Problem Author, Engineering

Role Overview

Apply your engineering expertise to create high-quality technical inputs that help train and improve next-generation AI systems. You will contribute real-world engineering judgment across areas including aerodynamics, materials science, CAD and mechanical design, circuit design, and mechanical engineering. No previous AI experience is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Author and evaluate advanced technical problems within your area of expertise.
• Review AI-generated technical responses for correctness, accuracy, and engineering relevance.
• Apply practical judgment to design, analysis, and failure scenarios, as well as theoretical technical problems.
• 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 deliver high-quality domain input.
• Document insights and recommendations to support continuous model improvement and refinement of problem statements.

Qualifications

• Advanced degree, MS or PhD, in a relevant engineering discipline, or substantial industry experience.
• At least 8 years of experience for aerodynamics, circuit design, or mechanical engineering, or at least 5 years for CAD or mechanical design.
• At least 5 years of hands-on technical experience in your specialty, such as mechanical design, aerodynamic analysis, materials selection, or circuit and system development.
• Experience authoring technical problems, such as through olympiad problem committees, licensure exam item writing, academic qualifying exams, standards committees, or technical competition leadership.
• Flagship publications, patents, recognized industry awards, competition results, or committee service demonstrating technical rigor.
• Professional-level English proficiency with 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.

Work Terms

• Remote contract engagement.
• Compensation is output-based and paid per task that meets project specifications. Time required per task varies by experience and workflow.
• Minimum submission requirements apply, including a minimum number of tasks submitted each week.
• Selected candidates should be ready to begin their first tasks within 24 to 48 hours after completing the required onboarding process.

Compensation

$60 to $110 per hour.
