Are you a structural engineering expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of scientific discovery. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cutting‑edge research, and streamline technical work for engineers everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.
We’re looking for structural engineering specialists who live and breathe structural analysis, materials science, reinforced concrete design, steel structures, earthquake engineering, bridge design, and finite element modeling. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like load path analysis, shear and moment calculations, structural dynamics, building code interpretation, stability of structures, failure mechanics, and seismic load modeling—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.
On a typical day, you will converse with the model on design scenarios and theoretical structural engineering questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.
A PhD in structural engineering or a closely related civil engineering field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, field inspections, building information modeling (BIM), or large-scale structural design projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.
Ready to turn your structural engineering expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.
We offer a pay range of $8‑to‑$65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
