Manufacturing Professional for AI Research Project

Manufacturing professionals apply their manufacturing, purchasing, design, or engineering expertise to create and evaluate prompts, and to assess large language model outputs so AI systems better understand real-world manufacturing tasks and language.

• Develop industry-specific prompts and test cases that reflect real manufacturing workflows.
• Evaluate and annotate LLM responses for accuracy, relevance, and practical feasibility in manufacturing contexts.
• Provide domain feedback to improve model understanding of tasks such as purchasing, inventory management, shipping and receiving, product design, and engineering processes.
• Work asynchronously with project teams to meet deliverables and quality standards.

• Minimum 4 years of professional experience in one or more of the following or similar roles:
• Buyers and Purchasing Agent
• Shipping, Receiving, and Inventory Clerk
• Commercial and Industrial Designer
• Electronics Engineer, Except Computer
