Position: Energy Engineer – AI Evaluation Specialist

Type: Contract

Compensation: $30 – $40/hour

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10-40 hours/week

Role Responsibilities

• Translate property specifications into technical system design envelopes, including roofing, load analysis, interconnection, structural considerations, and code compliance.
• Produce and validate energy output and demand projections (annual kWh, load profiles, round-trip efficiency, heat pump COP/SCOP).
• Evaluate cross-system interactions such as PV-to-storage charging windows, heat pump load shifts, and EVSE demand spikes.
• Identify constructibility and permitting constraints and recommend technically feasible alternatives.
• Assess sizing accuracy and feasibility of integrated energy systems using AI evaluation tools and structured rubrics.
• Validate efficiency assumptions and production estimates to ensure reliability and technical accuracy.
• Document findings clearly and communicate technical insights effectively to support informed decision-making.

Requirements

• Proven experience in energy engineering, renewable energy modeling, or system design validation.
• Demonstrated experience evaluating or annotating AI models using rubric-based assessments.
• Expertise in prompt creation, instruction tuning, CoT data generation, or similar AI evaluation methodologies.
• Strong understanding of structural and electrical constraints across PV, storage, heat pump, and EVSE systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex technical data.
• Ability to work independently using remote collaboration tools in a distributed environment.
