IsoData; United States; Remote; USD 165,000 - 331,000; Full time

Job summary

IsoData is seeking experts in mechanical/civil/industrial engineering to work remotely in the United States on a project basis.

You will write and review engineering problems in loads, materials, thermal systems and structures, and evaluate whether models' designs could be built, shipped and maintained. Compensation ranges from $120 to $240 per hour, with payment per accepted task and no guaranteed volume.

Qualifications

• Study at or graduated from a college or university in mechanical, civil, industrial or related engineering.
• A design, analysis or build project you did yourself and can explain in depth, numbers included.
• Solid fundamentals in statics and strength of materials, thermodynamics and fluids, or operations research.
• Care with safety margins, standards and real-world constraints.
• Degree in the field; a master’s or PhD, or a PE license is ideal.
• Professional engineering or operations work, especially at an AI lab or AI company.
• Working knowledge of codes/standards in your area (e.g., building codes or ASME).
• Built projects, publications or patents (ideal).

Responsibilities

• Write problems on loads, materials, thermal systems and structures with reference answers.
• Find unsafe or wrong assumptions in a model’s engineering answer.
• Write operations and scheduling problems with checkable answers.
• Judge whether a model’s design could actually be built, shipped and maintained.
• Write rubrics that check units, codes, safety factors and constraints.

Job description

Remote, United States. Project-based.

For engineers who know which assumption makes a reasonable-looking answer unsafe or unbuildable. Write and review engineering problems in design, structures, construction and operations.

Pay: $120 to $240 an hour, paid per accepted task. There is no guaranteed project, task volume, hours or pay.

You must live in the US, be at least 18 and be authorized to work in the United States. We accept applications on an ongoing basis.

What you would do

• Write problems on loads, materials, thermal systems and structures, such as sizing a beam to a stated deflection limit, with reference answers.
• Find the unsafe or wrong assumption in a model’s engineering answer, such as a missing load case or the wrong safety factor.
• Write operations and scheduling problems, such as a critical-path schedule or a production-line bottleneck, with checkable answers.
• Judge whether a model’s design could actually be built, shipped and maintained.
• Write rubrics that check units, codes and standards, safety factors and constraints.

The minimum

• You study at or graduated from a college or university in mechanical, civil, industrial or a related engineering field.
• A design, analysis or build project you did yourself and can explain in depth, numbers included.
• Solid fundamentals in your area, such as statics and strength of materials, thermodynamics and fluids, or operations research.
• Care with safety margins, standards and real-world constraints.

Ideal

• A degree in the field; a master’s or PhD, or a PE license, is even better.
• Professional engineering or operations work, especially at an AI lab or AI company.
• Working knowledge of the codes and standards in your area, such as building codes or ASME standards.
• Built projects, publications or patents.

This position covers

Mechanical design, Thermodynamics and fluids, Structural and civil engineering, Construction and scheduling, Industrial engineering and logistics, Aerospace and materials.
