About the role

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs — and we need specialists who can challenge, audit, and refine how AI reasons about hardware, systems, and low-level software.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your deep technical knowledge in a high-impact, flexible freelance role that fits around your schedule.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs and teams.
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and workload.
  • Freelance autonomy with the backing of a globally collaborative team.
  • Gain rare, hands-on exposure to how frontier LLMs are trained and evaluated.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Expert-Level Challenges — Craft 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 the gold standard for AI training.
  • Audit AI-Generated Outputs — Evaluate AI-produced code (C/C++, Verilog, VHDL), logic gate designs, and OS kernels for correctness, efficiency, and adherence to industry standards.
  • Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify flaws in AI reasoning such as race conditions, memory leaks, or improper timing constraints, and provide structured feedback that improves model accuracy.

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 in writing.
  • High attention to detail — comfortable working at the level of bit operations, clock-cycle timing, and technical specifications.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation pipelines.
  • Proficiency in engineering tools such as MATLAB or ANSYS for evaluating AI-generated technical content.
  • Familiarity with IoT, networking, distributed systems, or hardware security.

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 experience required.
