About the role

As an AI Trainer, you'll stress-test cutting-edge language models on real engineering challenges, expose their reasoning gaps, and help shape how AI thinks about complex technical problems.

This is a rare opportunity to apply deep domain expertise in a meaningful new way — without leaving your home office.

Why Join Us

  • Work on what matters — your expertise directly shapes how next-generation AI understands and reasons about engineering.
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work on your own schedule.
  • Freelance autonomy — no micromanagement, no commute, no rigid 9-to-5.
  • Collaborate globally — connect with a diverse team of engineers and AI researchers from around the world.
  • Ongoing opportunity — strong contributors are considered for contract extension and future projects.

Responsibilities

  • Design Challenging Problems — Create advanced electrical engineering problems spanning circuit analysis, power systems, signal processing, electromagnetics, and control systems that push AI models to their limits.
  • Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation.
  • Audit Technical Accuracy — Review AI-generated code, circuit diagrams, and mathematical proofs for correctness, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (IEEE, NEC, etc.).
  • Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify logical flaws and reasoning errors in AI outputs, then provide structured feedback that drives genuine model improvement.
  • Document Failure Modes — Systematically record how and where AI models break down on engineering tasks to help research teams harden model performance.

Required skills

  • Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: VLSI, control systems, telecommunications, power electronics, embedded systems, or signal processing.
  • Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely in writing.
  • Detail-oriented — you catch errors in equations, circuit logic, and technical documentation that others miss.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation systems.
  • Familiarity with working across multiple engineering sub-disciplines.

Experience and education

  • Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
  • No prior AI experience required.
