About the role

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs — and we need people who truly understand hardware, systems, and low-level software to make these models smarter, more accurate, and more reliable.

This is a rare opportunity to apply deep technical knowledge in a flexible, remote freelance role that directly shapes how AI reasons about computer architecture, embedded systems, and hardware design.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs and AI teams.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world.
  • Freelance autonomy: choose your hours, your pace, and your workload (10–40 hrs/week).
  • Gain firsthand exposure to how large language models are built and trained.
  • Contribute meaningfully to AI systems that will influence the future of technical reasoning.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Complex Technical Challenges — Create advanced computer engineering problems spanning RISC-V/ARM architecture, FPGA development, memory management, and hardware-software co-design.
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions including assembly code, HDL snippets, and architectural diagrams that serve as reference-quality "golden responses" for AI training.
  • Audit AI-Generated Content — Evaluate AI outputs across C/C++, Verilog, VHDL, logic gate designs, and OS kernels for technical accuracy, efficiency, and adherence to industry standards.
  • Identify and Fix Reasoning Errors — Spot logical flaws in AI reasoning — race conditions, memory leaks, improper timing constraints — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.
  • Stress-Test AI Capabilities — Challenge models on topics like computer architecture, embedded systems and IoT, networking and distributed systems, hardware security, and operating systems, documenting failure modes to harden model reasoning.

Required skills

  • Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Digital Logic Design, or Operating Systems.
  • Able to communicate highly technical hardware and low-level software concepts clearly and concisely in writing.
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented — comfortable reasoning about bit-level operations, clock-cycle timing, and precise technical documentation.
  • Self-motivated and reliable working independently on a flexible schedule.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems.
  • Proficiency in engineering tools such as MATLAB, ANSYS, or similar platforms.
  • Background in hardware security, FPGA toolchains, or real-time embedded systems.

Experience and education

  • Pursuing or completed a Master's or PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science (hardware focus), or a closely related field.
  • No prior AI experience required.
