Descripción de la vacante

MissionHires is seeking a detail-oriented contractor to design and evaluate AI tasks for professional STEM workflows. You will create realistic datasets, scenarios, and grading rubrics, and work with frontier AI models to assess accuracy against professional standards.

This fully remote, hourly-contract role offers flexible scheduling, a minimum of 10 hours per week, and opportunities for more hours as projects scale.

Formación

• In-progress Bachelor's degree or higher in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, an engineering discipline, data science, or a related field.
• Two or more years of applied professional experience preferred, ideally outside undergraduate study.
• Current or recent hands-on individual-contributor experience in a scientific, engineering, or data science discipline.
• Ability to work with real professional data and domain-specific materials, including instrument or test data, measurement files, simulation outputs, schematics, drawings, reports, and related analysis tools.
• Strong technical judgment and ability to identify incorrect assumptions, unit errors, scaling errors, invalid boundary conditions, unsupported conclusions, and flawed interpretations.
• Comfort with statistical and experimental reasoning, including experiment design, measurement error, uncertainty, and common statistical pitfalls.
• Strong written and spoken English, with the ability to explain why a result is incorrect rather than only identifying that it is incorrect.
• General familiarity with AI and LLM tools and the ability to distinguish sound reasoning from plausible but inaccurate output.
• Working understanding of adjacent technical sub-disciplines sufficient to assess work outside a primary specialty.
• Coding or scientific computing skills in Python or a similar language are strongly preferred and required for certain projects.
• Comfort working at the command line and authoring or verifying technical work in code for applicable projects.
• Baseline technical literacy with cloud file tools, browser profiles, desktop application installation, file conversion, and compressed-file handling.
• Advanced degree or professional licensure is a plus but not required.

Responsabilidades

• Design realistic, challenging technical tasks based on professional STEM, engineering, or data science workflows, including scenarios, colleague-style prompts, and self-authored supporting files.
• Create and assemble professional materials such as test data, measurement files, specifications, drawings, schematics, simulation outputs, lab records, reports, and analysis files.
• Run tasks through frontier AI models and evaluate calculations, analyses, design reviews, reports, and other deliverables against professional standards.
• Compare multiple model outputs for the same prompt and source materials, determine which output performs better, and document shortcomings in each response.
• Write detailed grading rubrics defining required assumptions, methods, units, magnitudes, acceptance criteria, failure modes, and other elements of a correct response.
• Document specific model failures, including unit or scaling mistakes, data misinterpretation, unsupported conclusions, fabricated or ignored source files, missed safety or boundary conditions, and off-brief responses.
• Review, refine, and provide feedback on tasks developed by other subject-matter experts.
• Propose task scenarios from professional experience, identify likely model failure points, and build accepted proposals into complete tasks.
• Work independently in a structured, long-form remote environment while producing clear written reasoning and evidence-based evaluations.
