Civil Engineering Expert

Help shape the future of AI by designing challenging civil engineering problems that test and improve reasoning in cutting-edge models.Location: RemoteType: Contract / Part-timeCommitment: 20 hours per weekCompensation: Up to 40 USD / hrProject duration: 2 months, with potential extensionAbout the roleWe create high-quality STEM training data for frontier AI models. Our data is used directly in training and evaluation pipelines at leading AI labs to improve model reasoning in technical domains.We are looking for experts in Civil Engineering to design rigorous, deterministic problems that are genuinely challenging for state-of-the-art AI systems. Each problem must have exactly one verifiable correct answer and be submitted together with a complete, verified solution.What you’ll doDesign advanced civil engineering problems for frontier AI training and evaluationCreate deterministic problems with exactly one correct answerWrite complete, verified solutions and clearly document the reasoning processDevelop problems involving structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, transportation, construction, or infrastructure systemsCreate problems that require multi-step engineering reasoning rather than simple formula applicationWhere relevant, use Python, MATLAB, structural analysis software, or other engineering tools to validate solutionsEnsure all outputs are technically precise, reproducible, and well-written in EnglishWhat we’re looking forMaster’s or PhD in Civil Engineering or a closely related fieldStrong research or industry experience in structural, geotechnical, transportation, hydraulic, construction, or infrastructure engineeringStrong quantitative modeling and engineering problem-solving skillsSolid understanding of engineering mechanics, numerical methods, and technical standardsAbility to design original, difficult problems that reflect realistic civil engineering workflowsExcellent attention to detail and technical writing skills in EnglishNice to haveExperience with SAP2000, ETABS, <STAAD.Pro>, PLAXIS, Civil 3D, MATLAB, Python, or similar toolsBackground in structural simulation, finite element analysis, infrastructure modeling, or engineering optimizationExperience evaluating technical work, developing assessments, or creating engineering educational content
