About the role

As a Computer Engineering Expert, your knowledge of hardware architecture, embedded systems, and low-level software will directly shape how AI reasons about some of the most complex engineering problems in the world.

This is a rare opportunity to apply your academic and hands-on expertise in a flexible, remote freelance role that sits at the cutting edge of AI development.

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on projects with top-tier AI research labs shaping the frontier of large language models.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work the hours that suit you, from anywhere.
  • Gain rare, firsthand exposure to how advanced AI models are built and trained.
  • Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, high-impact technical work.
  • Potential for ongoing contract extension as projects evolve.

Responsibilities

  • Design Advanced Engineering Challenges — Craft complex, domain-specific problems spanning RISC-V/ARM architecture, FPGA development, memory management, and hardware-software co-design.
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Produce rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions including assembly code, HDL snippets (Verilog/VHDL), and architectural diagrams that serve as reference-quality responses for AI training.
  • Audit AI-Generated Outputs — Evaluate AI-produced code (C/C++, Verilog, VHDL), logic gate designs, and OS kernel implementations for technical accuracy, efficiency, and adherence to industry standards.
  • Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical failures such as race conditions, memory leaks, and improper timing constraints, then provide structured feedback to improve how models think through hardware and systems problems.

Required skills

  • Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Digital Logic Design, or Operating Systems.
  • Able to communicate complex hardware concepts and low-level software logic clearly and concisely in writing.
  • Highly detail-oriented — comfortable working at the level of bit operations, clock-cycle timing, and technical documentation.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or AI training workflows.
  • Proficiency in engineering tools such as MATLAB or ANSYS.
  • Familiarity with IoT systems, hardware security, or distributed systems.

Experience and education

  • Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science (hardware focus), or a closely related field.
  • No prior AI or data annotation experience required.
