Nuclear Engineer for AI Model Training

Nuclear Engineers apply their technical expertise to evaluate AI outputs, create domain-specific prompts, and provide clear, structured feedback that helps models understand nuclear engineering tasks, terminology, and safe-work practices.

• Develop prompts and scenarios that reflect real nuclear engineering problems and workflows.
• Review and evaluate AI model responses for accuracy, safety, and usefulness in nuclear engineering contexts.
• Deliver concise, structured feedback that identifies errors, gaps, and improvements in model outputs.
• Assess content related to design, operation, environmental compliance, fuel handling, and other nuclear engineering topics.
• Work asynchronously with AI research teams to refine model behavior based on domain expertise.

• Minimum 4 years of professional experience in nuclear engineering or closely related work.
• Relevant real-world responsibilities may include one or more of the following:
• Design or develop nuclear equipment, such as reactor cores, radiation shielding, or instrumentation and control mechanisms.
• Monitor nuclear facility operations to identify unsafe design, construction, or operational practices.
• Initiate corrective actions or order plant shutdowns in emergency situations.
• Examine accidents to gather data for preventive measures.
• Direct operating or maintenance activities at nuclear power plants to ensure efficiency and safety compliance.
• Design or oversee construction or operation of reactors, power plants, or fuel reprocessing systems.
• Lead environmental compliance activities related to nuclear plant operations or maintenance.
• Write operational instructions for plant operation, fuel handling, or waste disposal.
• Prepare technical reports synthesizing test results and recommendations.
• Prepare environmental impact statements, reports, or regulatory presentations.
• Develop plans for remediating environments affected by radiation, including waste disposal sites.
• Conduct tests of fuel behavior, reactor cycles, or equipment performance to optimize plant performance.
• Design fuel cycle models or processes to reduce radioactive waste generation.
• Consult with scientists to set experiment parameters or evaluate analytical models.
• Recommend preventive measures based on operations monitoring or test evaluation.
• Discuss construction proposals with vendors, contractors, or facility review boards.
• Perform experiments on material usage, fuel reclamation, or waste disposal methods.
• Conduct environmental studies related to power generation, waste disposal, or weapons deployment impacts.
• Design or direct research projects to develop, test, or modify theoretical models.
• Keep current with developments in the field through technical literature and independent study.

• Engagement type: hourly, temporary contract work, part-time, remote.
• Work is asynchronous and can be done independently from any location.
• Hours are flexible, there is no minimum commitment, and most contributors average 5 to 20 hours per week.
• Placement into specific projects depends on project availability; the program runs year-round and new opportunities open periodically across areas of expertise.
• Work involves creating prompts for AI models and evaluating their responses, while collaborating remotely with research teams.

Paid hourly, up to $80/hr (depending on the project).

• Open to applicants who meet the experience requirements and can legally accept contract work as described.
• F-1 students may be eligible if they have appropriate CPT or OPT authorization; consult your Designated School Official to confirm eligibility. If your school requires enrollment in a CPT course, this program may not meet that requirement.
• STEM OPT is not supported for this program.

• Create an account with the program and complete your profile.
• Complete identity verification as requested.
• Enroll in and complete onboarding for projects that match your expertise.
• Begin assignments on approved projects and receive hourly pay for work completed.
