[Hiring] Engineering Design Specialist @Gramian Consulting Group

Role Description

We are looking for Engineering Design Specialists (e.g., electrical, mechanical, robotics, etc) to create simulation-based design challenges used to train and evaluate advanced AI systems. This role goes beyond analysis — it focuses on true engineering design thinking, where problems require trade-offs, iterative reasoning, and validation against physics-based simulations under real-world constraints.

• Commitments Required: 8 hours per day with an overlap of 4 hours with PST.
• Employment type: Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave)
• Duration of contract: 5+ months
• Location: India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Ghana, Bangladesh, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil
• Interview: take home assessment (60min) + short interview

Your Daily Responsibilities:

• Design realistic, simulation-driven engineering problems with clear constraints and optimization goals.
• Develop complete problem sets including:
  • Reference solutions
  • Edge cases and failure modes
  • Near-miss variants
• Ensure problems reflect real-world engineering complexity, including competing requirements and design trade-offs.
• Validate correctness and physical realism (units, boundary conditions, convergence, feasibility).
• Collaborate with research teams to refine problem quality based on model performance.
• Continuously improve problem difficulty and diversity across scenarios.

Qualifications

• Domain Expertise (at least one required):
  • Electrical & Computer Engineering — analog/mixed-signal, power electronics, RF, FPGA/ASIC, embedded systems
  • Mechanical Engineering — thermal/fluids, structures, dynamics, HVAC, manufacturing
  • Chemical Engineering — reactors, separations, process optimization, thermochemistry
  • Control Systems — feedback systems, state estimation, nonlinear/robust control
  • Materials / Nano — materials selection, microstructure design, nanoscale systems
  • Engineering Physics / Optics — photonics, lasers, wave propagation
  • Aerospace Engineering — aerodynamics, propulsion, flight dynamics
  • Civil / Structural Engineering — structural design, geotechnical, seismic/wind loads
  • Nuclear / Energy — reactor systems, thermal-hydraulics, energy systems
  • Systems Engineering — system architecture, trade studies, integration
  • Robotics — kinematics, motion planning, mechatronics
• Master’s or PhD in Engineering or Applied Science
• 3+ years of hands-on engineering design experience (not purely analytical roles)
• Proven ability to design systems under competing constraints and specifications
• Experience with at least one simulation tool relevant to your domain
• Strong Python (or equivalent scripting) skills
• High attention to detail and engineering rigor

Nice to Have

• Experience designing academic or industry-level engineering challenges
• Exposure to AI/LLM evaluation or benchmarking
• Familiarity with CI/CD or automated validation pipelines
• Cross-domain experience (e.g., control systems, robotics, energy systems)
