**Role :**
Partners with leading AI teams to improve the quality, usefulness, and reliability of general\-purpose conversational AI systems. These systems are used across a wide range of everyday and professional scenarios, and their effectiveness depends on how clearly, accurately, and helpfully they respond to real user questions.
In engineering\-related contexts, conversational AI systems must demonstrate accurate applied reasoning, quantitative precision, and practical problem\-solving aligned with real\-world systems. This project focuses on evaluating and improving how models reason about and explain engineering concepts across multiple disciplines.
**What You’ll Do**
* **Write and refine prompts** to guide model behavior in engineering scenarios
* **Evaluate LLM\-generated responses** to engineering\-related queries for technical accuracy, applied reasoning, and completeness
* **Conduct fact\-checking and verify any technical claims** using authoritative public sources and domain knowledge
* **Annotate model responses** by identifying strengths, areas of improvement, and factual or conceptual inaccuracies
* **Assess clarity, structure, and appropriateness of explanations** for different audiences
* Ensure **model responses align with expected conversational behavior** and system guidelines
* **Apply consistent evaluation standards** by following clear taxonomies, benchmarks, and detailed evaluation guidelines
**Who You Are**
* You hold a **PhD in Engineering or a closely related field**
* You have deep expertise in **one or more of the following sub\-domains**:
+ Mechanical \& Physical Systems Engineering
+ Electrical, Electronic \& Computer Engineering
+ Chemical, Materials \& Process Engineering
+ Civil, Environmental \& Infrastructure Engineering
* You have **significant experience using large language models** (LLMs) and understand how and why people use them
* You have **excellent writing skills** and can clearly explain complex engineering concepts
* You have **strong attention to detail** and consistently notice subtle issues others may overlook
* **Experience reviewing or editing technical or academic writing**
**Nice\-to\-Have Specialties**
* Experience with applied research, industry engineering workflows, or systems design
* Prior experience with RLHF, model evaluation, or data annotation work
* Experience teaching, mentoring, or explaining engineering concepts to non\-expert audiences
* Familiarity with evaluation rubrics, benchmarks, or structured review frameworks
**What Success Looks Like**
* You identify technical inaccuracies, flawed assumptions, or incomplete reasoning in engineering\-related model outputs
* Your feedback improves the rigor, clarity, and correctness of AI explanations
* You deliver consistent, reproducible evaluation artifacts that strengthen model performance
