Structural Engineering AI Task Creator

The work

You will turn practical structural engineering judgment into clear training tasks for AI systems. Your work will cover structural analysis, seismic design, simulation, code compliance, reinforced concrete, steel connections, and retrofit.

You will also assess AI-generated answers for technical accuracy and sound engineering judgment. The role combines engineering expertise, technical writing, deterministic scoring, and trusted reference solutions.

• Create realistic challenges based on structural engineering problems.
• Write precise problem statements that test reasoning about structural behavior.
• Develop deterministic checkers and reference solutions to show whether answers are correct.
• Use OpenSees and related structural engineering knowledge to build realistic scenarios.
• Review model answers against ACI 318, AISC, and Eurocode standards.
• Give structured feedback that identifies technical errors and improves model performance.

What it pays and takes

This is a part-time contractor role for candidates in the United States. The work requires strong structural engineering knowledge, clear written English, and the ability to work independently.

• Pay: USD $80 to $110 per hour.
• Time: 20 or more hours per week.
• Location: United States.
• Language: English.
• Work type: Part-time contract.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, structural engineering, or a closely related field.
• Experience: Applied structural analysis and design experience in professional or research settings.
• Technical skills: Proficiency with OpenSees and familiarity with ETABS or SAP2000.
• Standards: Working knowledge of ACI 318, AISC 360, or relevant Eurocode standards.
• Analysis knowledge: Understanding of pushover analysis, response spectrum analysis, nonlinear modeling, or performance-based design.
• Communication: Ability to write unambiguous engineering problems and explain technical decisions clearly.

Helpful background

Experience with finite element analysis beyond commercial software is helpful, including OpenSees Tcl or Python scripting. Seismic assessment, retrofit design, performance-based earthquake engineering, reinforcement learning, prompt engineering, or AI training workflow experience is also valuable.

Professional registration, published research, or engineering education experience is welcome.
