Electrical Engineering
Job description
Electrical Engineering — AI Data Trainer
About the Role
We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more capable AI models — and we need electrical engineers to help get there. Your deep technical knowledge will be used to stress-test advanced language models, expose their reasoning gaps, and help shape how AI understands complex engineering concepts.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence — no prior AI experience required.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced electrical engineering problems spanning circuit analysis, power systems, signal processing, electromagnetics, and control systems to expose the limits of AI reasoning
- Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Develop rigorous, step-by-step solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
- Audit Technical Accuracy — Review AI-generated outputs including code, circuit diagrams, and mathematical proofs for correctness, safety, and alignment with standards such as IEEE and NEC
- Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify logical flaws in AI-generated engineering reasoning and provide structured, actionable feedback to improve model performance
- Document Failure Modes — Record how and where AI models fall short so research teams can systematically harden model capabilities
Who You Are
- Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core domains: VLSI, control systems, telecommunications, power electronics, or signal processing
- Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and concisely in written form
- Detail-oriented with high precision when working with mathematical equations, circuit logic, and technical documentation
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on an async, flexible schedule
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, technical writing, or evaluation systems
- Familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, SPICE, or similar)
- Background in embedded systems, robotics, or engineering simulation
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside world-class research teams
- Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and workload (10–40 hrs/week)
- Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
- Direct impact on how the next generation of AI models handles real engineering challenges
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
