The Work

You will create and evaluate difficult technical problems used to train AI systems. The work calls for real semiconductor engineering judgment, complete solutions, and clear standards that separate correct answers from plausible errors.

• Design semiconductor engineering problems using realistic constraints and supporting data.
• Provide technically correct solutions with reasoning another engineer can verify.
• Define objective criteria for deciding whether an answer is correct.
• Review other contributors’ problems for technical accuracy and sound methods.
• Identify problems that are ambiguous or cannot be graded reliably.
• Evaluate technically plausible answers using hands-on knowledge from at least one semiconductor area.
