Job details

Materials & Engineering Specialist [$60-$90/hr] Role Responsibilities Author domain-authentic tasks drawn from work you've actually done Build the data room and grading criteria that make the task objectively scorable Run the task against the model, analyse where it succeeds or fails, and iterate until it genuinely discriminates Work with the project lead and other domain experts to settle what "good" looks like in your domain Good Candidature Senior expertise in materials science metals, ceramics, composites, characterization, additive manufacturing or in electrical engineering (analog, RF, power) or mechanical engineering (design, CFD and fluids, heat transfer, pressure vessels, NDE, CAE) Comfortable navigating ambiguity much of the work is still being defined, and shaping it is part of the role Able to explain not just the right answer, but why a wrong answer is wrong
