Remote Electrical Engineer - AI Trainer for Real Circuits

DataAnnotation; South Dakota; Remote; USD 55,000 - 172,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Remote work

Project-based work

Job summary

DataAnnotation is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to guide frontier AI models in handling real electrical and electronics engineering work. You bring judgment from years of designing, debugging, and shipping hardware, while we provide engineering problems the models cannot yet solve on their own.

This role focuses on teaching AI to reason about circuits, systems, and physical constraints, shaping the next generation of engineering tools through your explanations and rationale.

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.

Responsibilities

• Design challenging, realistic engineering problems from your own practice.
• 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.
