About the role

This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on industry experience in power systems, semiconductors, or embedded/RF design to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing engineer.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.

Responsibilities

  • Use your industry expertise to create expert-level engineering problems and scenarios grounded in real design, test, and field work.
  • Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with how the work is actually done.
  • Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance.

Experience and education

Ideal candidates meet all three of the following:

  • Industry experience — 2+ years of hands-on EE work in industry.

  • Degree — MS or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering. A BS in EE also qualifies when paired with strong industry experience.

  • Sub-domain depth — demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas:

    • Power systems, microgrids, or high-voltage engineering.

    • Semiconductors, chip design, or EDA.

    • Embedded systems, DSP, or RF.

Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)

  • Proficiency with industry tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SPICE, PSCAD, ETAP, PSS®E, Cadence, Synopsys, Altium, KiCad, Verilog/SystemVerilog, or comparable EDA and simulation environments.

  • Experience at a recognized EE/hardware employer (e.g. Qualcomm, TI, Intel, NVIDIA, GE, Siemens).

Required for all applicants

  • Have Canadian work authorization.

  • Strong written communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.
