About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Subject-matter experts create challenging examples, assess model responses, and provide precise feedback so AI can reason more accurately in specialized fields such as structural engineering.

• Work remotely with flexible hours
• Contribute directly to the development of cutting-edge AI systems
• Use professional expertise to evaluate and improve model performance

The Role

OpenTrain AI is hiring a Structural Engineer AI Task Creator to design, create, and evaluate training tasks based on real structural engineering challenges. Your expertise will help train AI to reason about structural behavior, analysis, design, simulation, and code compliance.

The role is listed as entry level, while the requirements call for a BEng and applied experience in structural analysis and design. It is open to engineers located in the United Kingdom.

• Fully remote contract work
• Part-time contractor position
• 10-40 hours per week on your own schedule
• The structured listing specifies a commitment of 20+ hours per week
• Pay: $80-$110 per hour

What You'll Do

You will create technically rigorous written tasks and evaluation materials that test whether AI systems can understand and solve realistic structural engineering problems.

• Design AI training tasks based on structural analysis, design, simulation, and code compliance
• Write clear, precise problem statements that test reasoning about structural behavior
• Develop deterministic scoring checkers and reference solutions for each task
• Create tasks involving pushover analysis, seismic design, FEA modeling, reinforced concrete design, steel connection detailing, and structural retrofit
• Evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy and compliance with relevant standards
• Provide structured expert feedback to improve AI performance in structural engineering

Requirements

Applicants should be able to combine practical structural engineering knowledge with strong technical writing and evaluation skills.

• BEng degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related field
• MEng or PhD is a plus
• Applied experience in structural analysis and design using industry software
• Proficiency with OpenSees for creating realistic structural analysis tasks
• Experience with pushover analysis, response spectrum analysis, nonlinear modeling, or performance-based design
• Familiarity with Eurocode EN 1992, EN 1993, and EN 1998; BS 8110; or ACI 318/AISC 360
• Experience formulating clear engineering problem statements and scoring solutions
• Strong written communication skills in English
