Job description

Electrical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more reliable AI — and we need electrical engineers to make it happen. As an Electrical Engineering Expert, you'll stress-test cutting-edge language models on real engineering problems, expose their reasoning gaps, and help shape how AI understands and applies complex technical knowledge.

This is a flexible, fully remote contract role where your domain expertise directly influences the next generation of AI systems.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced electrical engineering problems spanning circuit analysis, power systems, signal processing, electromagnetics, VLSI, and control systems to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
• Audit Technical Accuracy — Review AI-generated code, circuit diagrams, and mathematical proofs for correctness, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., IEEE, NEC)
• Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify logical flaws and gaps in AI-generated engineering reasoning, then provide structured feedback to help models think more like real engineers

Who You Are

• Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline
• Strong foundational expertise in one or more core areas: VLSI, control systems, power electronics, telecommunications, signal processing, or embedded systems
• Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely in writing
• Detail-oriented — you catch errors in equations, circuit logic, and technical documentation that others miss
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on an async, flexible schedule
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, technical content review, or evaluation systems
• Familiarity with engineering simulation tools (MATLAB, SPICE, etc.)
• Background in applied research or technical writing

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top-tier research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours, work from anywhere
• Freelance autonomy: no micromanagement, no commute, no rigid schedule
• Contribute to meaningful work that shapes how AI understands engineering
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
