Job description

Chemical Engineering Specialist - Freelance AI Trainer Project

United States of America

Are you a chemical engineering expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of scientific discovery. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cutting‑edge research, and streamline lab and industrial processes for engineers everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for chemical engineering specialists who live and breathe thermodynamics, reaction engineering, process design, transport phenomena, chemical kinetics, catalysis, materials science, and biochemical engineering. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like reactor optimization, heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, phase equilibria, process safety, separation processes, polymer science, and industrial process control—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on real‑world engineering scenarios and theoretical chemical engineering questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A PhD in chemical engineering or a closely related engineering field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, process simulations, lab‑scale or pilot‑plant experience, or industry work with tools like Aspen Plus or COMSOL signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.

Ready to turn your chemical engineering expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.

We offer a pay range of $8-to-$65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
