Civil Engineering Expert

Help shape the future of AI by designing challenging civil engineering problems that test and improve reasoning in cutting-edge models.

Location: Remote

Type: Contract / Part-time

Commitment: 20 hours per week

Compensation: Up to 40 USD / hr

Project duration: 2 months , with potential extension

About the role

We create high-quality STEM training data for frontier AI models. Our data is used directly in training and evaluation pipelines at leading AI labs to improve model reasoning in technical domains.

We are looking for experts in Civil Engineering to design rigorous, deterministic problems that are genuinely challenging for state-of-the-art AI systems. Each problem must have exactly one verifiable correct answer and be submitted together with a complete, verified solution.

What you’ll do

Design advanced civil engineering problems for frontier AI training and evaluation

Create deterministic problems with exactly one correct answer

Write complete, verified solutions and clearly document the reasoning process

Develop problems involving structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, transportation, construction, or infrastructure systems

Create problems that require multi-step engineering reasoning rather than simple formula application

Where relevant, use Python, MATLAB, structural analysis software, or other engineering tools to validate solutions

Ensure all outputs are technically precise, reproducible, and well-written in English

What we’re looking for

Master’s or PhD in Civil Engineering or a closely related field

Strong research or industry experience in structural, geotechnical, transportation, hydraulic, construction, or infrastructure engineering

Strong quantitative modeling and engineering problem-solving skills

Solid understanding of engineering mechanics, numerical methods, and technical standards

Ability to design original, difficult problems that reflect realistic civil engineering workflows

Excellent attention to detail and technical writing skills in English

Nice to have

Experience with SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD.Pro , PLAXIS, Civil 3D, MATLAB, Python, or similar tools

Background in structural simulation, finite element analysis, infrastructure modeling, or engineering optimization

Experience evaluating technical work, developing assessments, or creating engineering educational content
