About the Role
We are looking for materials science professionals to offer expert assessments and insights that current state-of-the-art AI systems are unable to produce independently. Your professional knowledge will act as the core benchmark for testing and measuring these advanced technologies. This is an ongoing opportunity for subject matter experts to enter a network for future AI training and evaluation tasks. Since projects are initiated with limited lead time, this posting functions as a rolling recruitment pool for qualified materials scientists. You will be assigned to relevant projects as they become available, enabling you to utilize your domain expertise to assist in creating more capable AI. This role offers a versatile method to collaborate with teams building top-tier AI models without the requirement to re-apply repeatedly.
Requirements
- You must possess a graduate degree in materials science or a related discipline, alongside practical experience in research or industry.
- It is required that you have hands-on experience in material processing and characterization, as you must be able to explain the technical rationale behind your specific procedural choices.
- You need proficient written communication skills to provide clear, detailed justifications when judging model outputs.
- You must be capable of handling vague tasks and demonstrate the proactive nature required to request clarification when instructions are imprecise.
Responsibilities
- You will create materials science challenges rooted in your professional background, which includes establishing system variables, processing backgrounds, and target properties along with benchmark solutions for grading purposes.
- You will assess AI-generated logic concerning structure-property correlations to verify if the model’s deductions are scientifically valid and if its conclusions are correct.
- You will evaluate AI-developed strategies to pinpoint potential real-world failure points, such as concerns regarding thermal cycling, manufacturing viability, corrosion, or fatigue.
Benefits & Perks
- Compensation for your expertise is provided, with historical rates between 60 and 120 dollars per hour, and final pay determined by the specific scope and complexity of each project.
