Industrial Engineering Undergraduate for AI Research

Industrial engineering students apply systems optimization, process design, and operations-analysis expertise to create and evaluate prompts and responses from large language models for manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and operations contexts. This part-time remote role focuses on producing domain-specific prompts, assessing LLM outputs for technical accuracy and clarity, researching specialized topics with AI assistance, and expanding your applied skills.

• Develop domain-specific prompts and scenarios for evaluating LLM behavior
• Review, rate, and provide detailed feedback on model responses for technical accuracy, completeness, and clarity
• Conduct independent research on industrial engineering topics using AI tools to inform prompt design and evaluation
• Document findings and recommendations to improve model outputs and evaluation guidelines
• Onboard into project-specific workflows and follow project instructions; placement into projects depends on availability

• Current undergraduate student in industrial engineering
• Ability to work primarily asynchronously and independently
• Confidence that your subject-matter expertise can exceed current AI systems in understanding and explaining core concepts
• Willingness to learn new skills and contribute across related disciplines

• Part-time, remote, asynchronous engagement
• Flexible hours with no minimum weekly commitment
• The program runs year-round, however project availability will vary by domain and placement depends on open projects

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

• F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible to participate; consult your Designated School Official to confirm your specific eligibility
• If your school requires enrollment in a CPT course, this program may not meet that requirement
• STEM OPT is not supported
• Consult the program help resources for complete details on acceptable work authorizations

• Create an account on the program portal
• Complete identity verification as instructed
• Select and complete onboarding for relevant projects when they are available
• Begin contributing to projects and receive payment according to the project terms
