Summary: The Computer Engineering - AI Data Trainer role at Alignerr involves developing complex computer engineering challenges and authoring ground-truth solutions for AI training. The position requires evaluating AI-generated code and refining model reasoning through structured feedback. This remote contract role offers flexible hours and competitive pay, focusing on collaboration with leading AI research teams. Candidates should possess advanced degrees in relevant fields and strong analytical writing skills.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design advanced computer engineering challenges across domains like RISC-V/ARM architecture, FPGA development, memory management, and hardware-software co-design.
- Create rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions, including assembly code, hardware description language (HDL) snippets, and architectural diagrams.
- Evaluate AI-generated code (C/C++, Verilog, VHDL), logic gate designs, and operating system kernels for technical accuracy and efficiency.
- Identify logical fallacies in AI reasoning and provide structured feedback to improve the model's reasoning process.
Key Skills:
- Advanced Degree: Masters (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science with a hardware focus, or a closely related field.
- Strong foundational knowledge in Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Digital Logic Design, or Operating Systems.
- Ability to communicate highly technical hardware concepts and low-level software logic clearly in written form.
- High level of precision when checking bit-level operations, clock-cycle timing, and technical documentation.
- Preferred prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems.
- Proficiency in engineering software concepts (e.g., SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS).
