Technical Problem Author (Multi-Domain) - Remote
Job Title: Technical Problem Author – Engineering Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote Job Overview We are seeking experienced Engineering Technical Problem Authors to contribute their technical expertise to a project focused on advancing next-generation AI systems in engineering. In this role, you will create and evaluate challenging, real-world technical problems and assess AI-generated engineering responses for accuracy, rigor, and practical relevance. Your engineering knowledge will help improve how AI systems reason through complex technical problems, apply engineering principles, and communicate technically sound solutions. No prior AI experience is required—your domain expertise and technical judgment are what matter most. Scope of Work
- Author and evaluate advanced technical problems across areas such as Aerodynamics, Materials Science, CAD/Mechanical Design, Mechanical Engineering, Circuit Design, and related disciplines.
- Review AI-generated technical responses for correctness, engineering accuracy, completeness, and practical relevance.
- Apply engineering judgment to real-world design, analysis, troubleshooting, and failure scenarios as well as theoretical problem contexts.
- Analyze complex technical issues, identify ambiguities, and recommend clarifications to problem statements, assumptions, and conditions.
- Develop technically rigorous problems that test analytical reasoning, engineering principles, calculations, and design judgment.
- Provide structured written feedback and clear explanations to improve AI-generated technical reasoning.
- Collaborate remotely with technical experts and project participants to maintain high-quality deliverables.
- Document technical insights, identified weaknesses, and recommendations to support continuous improvement of AI models and problem sets.
