About the Role

In this capacity, you will utilize your advanced STEM background and PhD-level research expertise to develop sophisticated, high-level technical challenges for AI model training. This role focuses on crafting rigorous benchmarks that demand more than basic knowledge, requiring an appreciation for technical nuances and specific constraints. You will bridge the divide between human scientific research and artificial intelligence by designing complex scenarios based on your own professional experience. Your contribution will involve defining objective verification standards and correct answers, ensuring models are tested against intellectually demanding and accurate problems.

Requirements

  • You must hold a PhD in a STEM discipline.
  • You are required to have direct, personal experience conducting hands-on research, ideally within an academic or laboratory setting.
  • You must be able to communicate your problem-solving logic clearly enough to allow another researcher to independently verify the outcome.
  • While not mandatory, having a history of publications or previous experience with AI evaluation and training is highly advantageous.
  • You should possess strong skills in experimental design, data analysis, scientific writing, and statistical methods.
  • Proficiency in technical software tools such as Python, MATLAB, or SolidWorks is highly regarded.

Responsibilities

  • You will create challenging, research-oriented technical problems that incorporate realistic constraints and relevant supporting data.
  • You will document precise, step-by-step reasoning and provide the correct solutions for each problem developed.
  • You will establish clear, objective evaluation criteria to ensure your output remains consistent and reviewable.
  • You will engage in peer review processes to evaluate the technical accuracy and methodological integrity of work submitted by other contributors.
  • You will use your professional judgment to identify and report any problems that are ambiguous or unsuitable for grading to maintain high dataset standards.

Benefits & Perks

  • You will have a flexible work schedule that can be balanced with your existing professional commitments.
  • You will be compensated at a rate ranging from $45 to $90 per hour.
