- You need to demonstrate strong written communication skills to provide the thorough explanations required for this work.
- You should possess the ability to operate independently when faced with ambiguous tasks and have the confidence to request clarification when needed.
- You must have practical, hands-on experience taking a design project from its initial conceptual phase through to physical production, demonstrating an understanding of real-world implementation challenges.
Responsibilities
- You will develop engineering challenges that incorporate sophisticated constraints, loads, and tolerances to test AI performance.
- You will perform comprehensive evaluations of model-generated output to verify the correctness of engineering calculations and theoretical applications.
- You will critically review AI results against practical engineering standards, specifically assessing design manufacturability and the validity of failure point identification.
- You will document your findings by providing detailed written rationales for each grading decision.
Benefits & Perks
- Participants receive competitive pay, with hourly rates typically between 70 and 125 dollars.
- Specific compensation levels are assigned for each project based on the complexity and scope of the requested work.
