What this actually is

You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (Engineering Simulation Specialist) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

About the role

A frontier engineering-reasoning evaluation run in collaboration with a leading AI research lab. The work measures whether state-of-the-art models can reason from first principles in your engineering domain rather than retrieve facts from training data - and you get visibility into the model's internal reasoning on your own tasks.

What you'll do

Domain experts write simulations and specification sheets; the model attempts to design an artifact - controller gains, circuit parameters, geometry - that satisfies every spec.

You define the simulation, a set of specs with pass/fail thresholds, and the prompt. The model probes your simulation with a limited number of calls, then submits a final design. An agentic grader runs the simulation and scores spec satisfaction.

Who we're looking for

  • Deep applied expertise in control systems, analog or RF circuits, power electronics, or mechanical design - PhD or equivalent industry track record.
  • Comfortable writing simulations in Python and expressing acceptance criteria as quantitative, testable thresholds.
  • Able to design a problem you can't shortcut yourself, but can still judge rigorously.
  • Comfortable working in a browser-based studio and GitHub.

Support

Onboarding calls run daily, alongside internal tooling built to help you work faster. Prior model-evaluation experience is not required.
