About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Experts create examples, review model outputs, and provide structured feedback so AI systems can produce more accurate and useful results. In this role, your structural engineering knowledge will help an AI model reason more effectively about the built environment.

• Work on cutting-edge AI development
• Apply specialized professional expertise
• Work independently and asynchronously
• No prior AI or machine learning background is required

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking a Structural Engineering AI Task Creator for a fully remote, flexible contractor position. You will design, create, and evaluate AI training tasks based on real structural engineering challenges, with a focus on structural analysis, seismic design, and finite element modeling.

• Contractor, part-time engagement
• Entry-level role classification with specialized engineering requirements
• 20+ hours per week
• Open to candidates in India
• English-language work
• Pay: $80–$110 per hour

What You'll Do

You will create precise technical tasks that test an AI model's ability to understand structural behavior. You will also develop objective evaluation methods and assess generated responses for accuracy, soundness, and compliance with relevant engineering standards.

• Design tasks involving pushover analysis, seismic design, FEA modeling, reinforced concrete design, steel connection detailing, and structural retrofit
• Write clear problem statements that test structural engineering reasoning
• Develop deterministic scoring checkers and reference solutions
• Evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy and engineering soundness
• Assess adherence to IS 456, IS 800, ACI 318, AISC, and Eurocode standards
• Provide structured expert feedback to improve AI performance in structural engineering

Required Qualifications

Candidates should have a strong foundation in civil or structural engineering and the ability to communicate technical problems clearly in written English. The role requires practical experience with structural analysis and OpenSees-based finite element work.

• BE or BTech degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related field
• Proficiency with OpenSees finite element software
• Applied experience in structural analysis and design using OpenSees, ETABS, or SAP2000
• Experience with structural analysis, pushover analysis, seismic design, or FEA
• Familiarity with Indian and international standards including IS 456, IS 800, ACI 318, AISC 360, or Eurocode
• Comfort with response spectrum analysis, nonlinear modeling, or performance-based design
• Strong written communication skills in English
• Detail-oriented, methodical, and self-motivated working style

Helpful Background

The following experience is useful but not required. These qualifications may help you contribute to more advanced structural engineering AI tasks.

• ME, MTech, or PhD in a relevant field
• FEA scripting with OpenSees Tcl or Python
• Seismic assessment, retrofit design, or performance-based earthquake engineering
• Reinforcement learning, AI training workflows, or prompt engineering
• Published research or professional project work in structural or earthquake engineering
• Chartered Engineer status in India or equivalent professional registration
• Mentoring, teaching, or engineering education content creation
