About AI training and this work

AI models learn from examples crafted and reviewed by people. This project focuses on creating high-quality textual engineering problems and verified solutions that will be used for training and evaluating models (text generation, evaluation rating, and fine-tuning). Contributors directly influence model accuracy and reliability in technical domains.

The role

You will author original, real-world electrical engineering problems and produce reproducible solutions solved and checked using Python-based scientific libraries. Problems should span system design, optimization, control, power systems, and related EE domains, and include realistic constraints and workflows.

• Create prompts and step-by-step solutions for computational EE problems.
• Implement and verify solutions in Python using NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, or similar libraries.
• Document code and reasoning so solutions are clear, detailed, and reproducible.

What you'll do day-to-day

Work part-time as a contractor (less than 20 hours/week) to deliver problem sets, runnable Python code, and written solution explanations. Tasks include drafting problem statements, coding numerical solutions, testing edge cases, and preparing text meant for model training and evaluation.

• Design problems that reflect realistic engineering scenarios and constraints.
• Write and run Python code to compute solutions; include reproducible examples and explanations.
• Verify numerical correctness and document assumptions, units, and parameter ranges.
• Prepare evaluation rubrics or reference ratings where required for model assessment.

Requirements

All requirements below are mandatory unless listed as a plus — candidates must be able to show proof (CV, certificates, or samples).

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Minimum 2 years of professional, research, or teaching experience in electrical engineering domains.
• Strong proficiency with Python for mathematics and engineering, including NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas.
• Fluency in English at C1 or higher; clear technical writing and documentation skills.
• Ability to provide an English CV with contact information and evidence of language proficiency.
• Hands-on experience with text annotation or review (for model-aligned wording and evaluation) is required.

Preferred qualifications

These skills are not required but will make your application stronger.

• Experience with MATLAB, R, C, or SQL and domain-specific engineering libraries.
• Professional certifications, publications, or international teaching/research experience.
• Prior contributions to educational materials, problem sets, or technical documentation.

Project details, pay, and commitment

This is a part-time contractor role (contractor, part_time) with flexible scheduling and remote work. Typical engagement is under 20 hours per week. Work centers on TEXT outputs for tasks labeled as TEXT_GENERATION, EVALUATION_RATING, and FINE_TUNING; labeling software is listed as OTHER.

• Payment type: hourly (PAY_PER_HOUR).
• Typical hourly rate shown: USD 40/hr (range USD 15–50/hr).
• Employment: Contractor, Part-time; time commitment: Less than 20 hours/week.
