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
