We are looking for Engineering PhD candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Build technical problems from real engineering workflows and define what makes an answer correct
- Design technical problems drawn from real engineering work in your field, with realistic constraints and supporting data.
- Provide the correct solution and walk through the reasoning that gets there.
- Define objective criteria for correctness, so another engineer reviewing the work would reach the same verdict.
- Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method.
- Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.
What you need
- PhD or PhD candidate in electrical, mechanical, chemical, industrial, or aerospace engineering
- Hands-on research or practice experience — problems you worked on yourself, not ones you read about.
- Able to explain why an answer is correct clearly enough that another engineer could verify it.
Nice to have
- Degree from a strong research institution
- Publications or a record of technical contribution
- AI or LLM evaluation experience
