Darum lohnt es sich

Application Process • Apply to the role • Complete the required screening questions • Provide details about your engineering background and specialization • Complete the relevant technical assessment or evaluation • Participate in onboarding sessions • Hiring/project team review • Begin contributing to engineering AI evaluation tasks Materials & Engineering Specialist Position: Materials & Engineering Specialist Type: Hourly Contract Compensation: $60–$90/hour Location: Remote About the Opportunity This opportunity is for experienced materials science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering professionals to contribute to advanced AI research and evaluation projects.

You'll apply your real-world engineering expertise to design realistic technical tasks, build supporting data rooms and evaluation criteria, assess AI-generated solutions, and refine tasks to accurately measure expert-level engineering reasoning.

The role is ideal for professionals who can navigate complex technical problems, ambiguity, engineering constraints, and nuanced trade-offs while clearly explaining both correct and incorrect approaches.

Responsibilities • Author domain-authentic engineering tasks based on real-world professional experience. • Develop realistic technical prompts, supporting documentation, datasets, and data rooms. • Create objective grading criteria and evaluation rubrics for engineering tasks. • Run engineering tasks against AI models and analyze the quality of generated solutions. • Identify technical errors, weak assumptions, gaps in reasoning, and incorrect engineering approaches. • Iterate on tasks and evaluation criteria to ensure they effectively distinguish expert-level engineering judgment. • Explain not only the correct engineering solution but also why alternative or incorrect solutions fail. • Collaborate with project leads and other engineering experts to establish appropriate technical standards. • Apply professional engineering judgment when dealing with ambiguous or incompletely defined problems.

Required Qualifications • Strong professional expertise in at least one relevant engineering discipline: • Materials Science: metals, ceramics, composites, characterization, additive manufacturing. • Electrical Engineering: analog, RF, power systems. • Mechanical Engineering: mechanical design, CFD and fluids, heat transfer, pressure vessels, NDE, CAE. • Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical engineering problems. • Strong understanding of engineering principles, methodologies, and real-world constraints. • Ability to evaluate technical solutions and identify subtle errors or unrealistic assumptions. • Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills. • Ability to clearly explain why a technical solution is correct or incorrect. • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment. • Strong written communication skills and attention to technical detail.

Preferred Qualifications • Senior-level professional experience in materials science, electrical engineering, or mechanical engineering. • Experience working on complex engineering projects involving design, analysis, testing, simulation, or characterization. • Experience creating or reviewing technical documentation, engineering reports, datasets, or evaluation criteria. • Familiarity with engineering software, simulation tools, laboratory workflows, or technical data analysis. • Experience with AI evaluation, technical benchmarking, or AI training projects is a plus, but not required. • Comfortable working through ambiguous technical requirements and defining what constitutes a high-quality solution.

Compensation • Competitive compensation of $60–$90/hour. • Hourly contract engagement. • Fully remote with flexible work arrangements. • Daily onboarding sessions and multiple office hours available. • Opportunity to contribute to advanced AI training and evaluation projects.
