Job description

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for skilled ParaView users to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands‑on experience with scientific visualization, fluid dynamics simulation, or large dataset analysis to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand computational science tasks and HPC workflows.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.

Who This Is For

This is a good fit if you're an experienced ParaView user who has worked in or around roles like:

• Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer or Research Scientist
• Aerospace Engineer or Applied Mathematician
• HPC Specialist or Computational Scientist

You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:

• Scientific visualization, CFD post-processing, or large dataset analysis using ParaView
• Fluid dynamics simulation, VTK workflows, or HPC data pipelines
• Annotating or labeling simulation outputs and scientific datasets
• Reviewing visualization results for accuracy, performance, or scientific consistency

What You'll Do

You'll use your experience with ParaView to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world CFD and scientific visualization workflows.

No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

We're looking for people who have:

• At least 3+ years of hands‑on experience with ParaView, whether through professional work or freelance projects
• A working knowledge of CFD post-processing, scientific visualization concepts, and HPC workflows
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
• The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines

Application Process

• Create a Handshake account
• Upload your resume and verify your identity
• Get matched and onboarded into relevant projects
• Start working and earning

Work Model and Project Details

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full‑time employee role)
• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer
• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year‑round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
