Design realistic civil engineering problems, write complete solutions, and verify them with Python. This part-time contractor role pays $15 to $50 per hour and requires 20+ hours each week.
The work
You will create original civil and computational engineering problems that reflect real engineering work. Each problem must include a clear statement, a fully verified solution, documented reasoning, and a reproducible final answer.
Your work will support AI training through written examples and evaluations. You will use Python and common engineering libraries to check calculations and validate solutions.
- Design realistic problems involving analysis, optimization, numerical methods, iterative solutions, or simulation-style calculations.
- Write clear problem statements and complete, correct solutions.
- Document the reasoning behind each solution.
- Use Python with NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar tools to verify engineering results.
- Review solutions for correctness and reproducibility.
What it pays and takes
This is an intermediate, part-time contractor role for someone with civil engineering knowledge and strong written English. Experience with other technical tools can qualify if you can work effectively in Python for verification.
- Pay: $15 to $50 per hour.
