Remote AI-Evaluated Hardware Engineer

DataAnnotation; Pittsburgh (Allegheny County); Remote; USD 55,000 - 172,000; Full time

Job summary

DataAnnotation seeks an experienced Electrical Engineer to guide frontier AI models in evaluating real-world electrical and electronics engineering work. Your seasoned judgment, from years of hardware design, debugging, and shipping, will shape next-gen engineering tools.

You will craft problems, assess AI outputs, compare model versions, and critique derivations with precise reasoning, flagging any errors or inconsistencies for improvement.

Qualifications

• Fluency in English (native or bilingual level).
• 2+ years of industry experience in circuit or electronics engineering.
• Background in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Strong command of circuit analysis and design tradeoffs, and the ability to defend component-level and system-level decisions.
• The ability to articulate why an answer is wrong, not only that it is.
• Working comfort with AI tools, or the ability to pick them up quickly.
• A current, in-progress, or completed Bachelor’s is preferred but not required.
• Only applicants based in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom will be considered.

Responsibilities

• Design challenging, realistic engineering problems from your own practice: a circuit to specify, a control loop to stabilize, a power stage to size.
• Run those problems through frontier AI models and judge the output against your professional standard.
• Compare two model versions on identical prompts and call which performed better, and where each fell short.
• Critique model-generated derivations, schematics, component selections, and calculations, and write the reasoning behind your call.
• Flag concrete failures with evidence: wrong assumptions, sign and unit errors, unphysical results, invalid topologies, fabricated datasheet values, or off-brief interpretation.
