About the role

Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems — from circuit analysis to signal processing to power systems.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role that lets you contribute to frontier AI research on your own schedule.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with world-leading research labs.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work the hours that suit you.
  • Freelance autonomy with the opportunity to contribute to meaningful, high-impact work.
  • Gain rare behind-the-scenes exposure to how advanced large language models are trained.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design challenging problems across electrical engineering domains — circuit analysis, power systems, signal processing, electromagnetics, embedded systems, and more — to rigorously test AI performance.
  • Author gold-standard solutions with clear, step-by-step technical reasoning that serves as a benchmark for AI learning.
  • Audit AI-generated content including code, circuit diagrams, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (IEEE, NEC, etc.).
  • Refine AI reasoning by identifying logical errors and providing structured, expert feedback that improves how the model approaches engineering tasks.
  • Document failure modes in AI responses to help research teams harden model reasoning at a foundational level.

Required skills

  • Strong foundational expertise in one or more core domains: VLSI, control systems, telecommunications, power electronics, or similar.
  • Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely in writing.
  • Detail-oriented when reviewing mathematical equations, circuit logic, and engineering documentation.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, technical writing, or quality evaluation.
  • Familiarity with simulation tools (SPICE, MATLAB, etc.).
  • Background in systems that span multiple EE subfields.

Experience and education

  • Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • No prior AI experience required.
