Solar Design Engineer for AI Evaluation

Solar Design Engineers apply hands-on experience in solar system design, project estimation, and construction planning to evaluate AI-generated outputs and produce expert-level training data. This is project-based, hourly contract work you can perform remotely alongside other commitments, focused on improving how AI understands energy project development and cost estimation.

• Use your practical experience with energy project estimation, pre-construction planning, and solar design to assess AI-generated content for technical accuracy and relevance.
• Provide written feedback and annotations that correct errors, clarify assumptions, and reflect real-world workflows and costs.
• Create or validate training examples based on typical project scenarios, tools, and deliverables you encounter in daily work.
• Work independently and communicate findings to AI research teams in a clear, professional manner.

• Minimum of 2 years of professional experience in energy project estimation, pre-construction, or solar design in roles such as Estimator, Project Engineer, Pre-construction Manager, Solar Design Engineer, or equivalent.
• Hands-on familiarity with one or more of these tools: Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, Aurora Solar.
• Strong written communication skills, high attention to detail, and the ability to work asynchronously and independently with research teams.
• No prior AI experience required.

• Engagement type: part time, hourly contract work as an independent contractor.
• Location: fully remote, work asynchronously.
• Schedule: flexible, no minimum hour requirement; most contributors work approximately 5, 20 hours per week while participating in an active project.
