Summary: The Engineering Expert (PhD) role involves guiding AI model behavior in engineering contexts through prompt writing and evaluation of model responses. The position requires a commitment of 10–40 hours per week and emphasizes technical accuracy and clarity in communication. Candidates must possess a PhD in Engineering or a related field and demonstrate expertise in a specific engineering domain. The role is fully remote, allowing for independent work in an evaluation-focused environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Write and refine prompts to guide AI model behavior in engineering scenarios.
  • Evaluate LLM-generated responses for technical accuracy, applied reasoning, and completeness.
  • Fact-check and verify technical claims using domain knowledge and authoritative sources.
  • Annotate model outputs by identifying strengths, inaccuracies, and improvement areas.
  • Assess clarity, structure, and suitability of explanations for different audiences.
  • Ensure responses align with conversational standards and evaluation guidelines.
  • Apply consistent review frameworks, benchmarks, and taxonomies across tasks.

Key Skills:

  • PhD in Engineering or a closely related field.
  • Deep expertise in at least one engineering domain (mechanical, electrical, chemical, materials, civil, environmental, or related disciplines).
  • Strong understanding of applied engineering reasoning and quantitative analysis.
  • Experience using large language models and understanding of AI interaction patterns.
  • Excellent writing and technical communication skills.
  • High attention to detail and analytical rigor.
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote, evaluation-focused environment.
