About the role

Your domain expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems, from circuit analysis to control systems to signal processing.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed to fit around your existing schedule. Whether you're a grad student, a working engineer, or a recently graduated EE, your technical knowledge has real value here.

Why Join Us

  • Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs.
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and workload.
  • Freelance autonomy with the backing of a professional, global team.
  • Meaningful work — your contributions directly improve how AI handles real engineering challenges.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects grow.

Responsibilities

  • Design challenging problems — Create advanced electrical engineering problems across domains like circuit analysis, power systems, signal processing, electromagnetics, and embedded systems to stress-test AI performance.
  • Write ground-truth solutions — Develop rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning.
  • Audit AI outputs — Review AI-generated code, circuit diagrams, and mathematical derivations for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (IEEE, NEC, etc.).
  • Improve AI reasoning — Identify logical gaps or flaws in AI-generated engineering reasoning and provide structured, actionable feedback to improve model performance.

Required skills

  • Strong domain knowledge in one or more core EE areas: VLSI, control systems, telecommunications, power electronics, signal processing, or embedded systems.
  • Clear technical communicator — you can explain complex engineering concepts in precise, well-structured written form.
  • Detail-oriented — you catch errors in equations, circuit logic, and technical documentation that others miss.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, technical writing, or quality evaluation.
  • Familiarity with simulation tools (MATLAB, SPICE, etc.).
  • Background in academic research or engineering standards review.

Experience and education

  • Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related field (Master's — pursuing or completed — or PhD).
  • No prior AI or data annotation experience required.
