• Evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, assumptions, and engineering logic;
• Validate analytical or numerical results using Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas);
• Improve AI reasoning to align with first principles and accepted engineering standards;
• Apply structured scoring criteria to assess multi-step problem solving.

What We Look For

This opportunity is a good fit for automotive engineers with experience in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• Degree in Automotive Engineering or related fields, e.g. Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, etc.
• 3+ years of professional automotive engineering experience
• Strong written English (C1/C2)
