Work Mode: Remote Engagement Type: Independent Contractor Schedule: Full-Time or Part-Time Contract Language Requirement: Fluent English Role : Partners with leading AI teams to improve the quality, usefulness, and reliability of general-purpose conversational AI systems. These systems are used across a wide range of everyday and professional scenarios, and their effectiveness depends on how clearly, accurately, and helpfully they respond to real user questions. In engineering-related contexts, conversational AI systems must demonstrate accurate applied reasoning, quantitative precision, and practical problem-solving aligned with real-world systems. This project focuses on evaluating and improving how models reason about and explain engineering concepts across multiple disciplines. What You’ll Do • Write and refine prompts to guide model behavior in engineering scenarios • Evaluate LLM-generated responses to engineering-related queries for technical accuracy, applied reasoning, and completeness • Conduct fact-checking and verify any technical claims using authoritative public sources and domain knowledge • Annotate model responses by identifying strengths, areas of improvement, and factual or conceptual inaccuracies • Assess clarity, structure, and appropriateness of explanations for different audiences • Ensure model responses align with expected conversational behavior and system guidelines • Apply consistent evaluation standards by following clear taxonomies, benchmarks, and detailed evaluation guidelines Who You Are • You hold a PhD in Engineering or a closely related field • You have deep expertise in one or more of the following sub-domains: • Mechanical & Physical Systems Engineering • Electrical, Electronic & Computer Engineering • Chemical, Materials & Process Engineering • Civil, Environmental & Infrastructure Engineering • You have significant experience using large language models (LLMs) and understand how and why people use them • You have excellent writing skills and can clearly explain complex engineering concepts • You have strong attention to detail and consistently notice subtle issues others may overlook • Experience reviewing or editing technical or academic writing Nice-to-Have Specialties • Experience with applied research, industry engineering workflows, or systems design • Prior experience with RLHF, model evaluation, or data annotation work • Experience teaching, mentoring, or explaining engineering concepts to non-expert audiences • Familiarity with evaluation rubrics, benchmarks, or structured review frameworks What Success Looks Like • You identify technical inaccuracies, flawed assumptions, or incomplete reasoning in engineering-related model outputs • Your feedback improves the rigor, clarity, and correctness of AI explanations • You deliver consistent, reproducible evaluation artifacts that strengthen model performance
