Hardware Engineering Expert for AI Research

Engineering experts apply hardware engineering knowledge to design and evaluate domain-specific prompts and to assess Large Language Model responses, helping improve LLM performance within engineering subdomains.

• Develop domain-specific prompts for hardware engineering use cases.
• Evaluate and rate LLM responses for technical accuracy, clarity, and usefulness.
• Research engineering topics with AI assistance to create high-quality examples, edge cases, and annotations.
• Contribute to improving model behavior in your specialty area through detailed feedback and examples.

• Be a junior, senior, or graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in one of the following specialties: Industrial engineering, Mechanical engineering, Aerospace engineering, Materials engineering.
• Be currently at, or have graduated from, a top 20 undergraduate institution.
• Able to work primarily asynchronously in collaboration with leading AI labs.
• Confidence that your subject-matter expertise exceeds current AI systems in explaining and reasoning about key concepts in your field.
• Willingness to learn new skills while contributing across engineering disciplines.

• Remote, asynchronous engagement, work independently from your location.
• Flexible hours with an expected commitment of approximately 10 to 20 hours per week.
• Part-time engagement; placement into specific projects depends on project availability.
• The program runs year-round, though available projects will vary by domain.

• Up to $50/hr (depending on the project)

• The role targets candidates with the Bachelor-level qualifications above. The program is also open to U.S.-based doctoral students, candidates, and recent graduates who hold valid work or training authorization, for example F-1/OPT, J-1, or H-1B.
• Participants are responsible for confirming their own visa or training authorization compliance with their sponsor or program before applying.
• At this time, candidates on STEM OPT who require a new i-983 are not eligible. Candidates with already approved i-983 forms, and those on pre-grad OPT, CPT, J-1, or H-1B, are not impacted. These eligibility details may change in the future.

• Create an account and complete identity verification.
• Browse and request entry into projects that match your specialty, complete any required onboarding for selected projects.
• Begin contributing to projects and receive compensation according to the project terms.
