Engineer

Applied Engineering Benchmark Specialist [$61-$77/hr] Expert engineers to write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core engineering domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities You Will Be Assigned One Of Two Task Types Question Authoring Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of engineering expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review. Question Verification Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made. Engineering Domains Covered Semiconductor Design & Manufacturing (VLSI), Control Science and Engineering, Mechatronics, Reactor, Plant Design & Separations, Reservoir Engineering & Maintenance, Bioinstrumentation & Biotechnology Role Responsibilities Author original engineering questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined all necessary information must be in the problem statement Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above) Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format Supply 1 5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories) For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made Good Candidature PhD or doctoral candidate in Engineering or a closely related field Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain Strong command of graduate-level engineering principles, applied mathematics, and domain-specific standards Professional engineering licensure (PE) or industry experience is a strong plus Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely More About The Opportunity Expected commitment: 10+ hours/week Asynchronous, fully remote work

Create and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions and detailed solutions across various engineering domains to establish AI benchmarks. Responsibilities include rating difficulty levels and providing academic references for each problem.

Requires a PhD or doctoral candidacy in Engineering, though a Master's degree may be considered for exceptional candidates. Must possess strong graduate-level engineering knowledge and excellent written English skills.
