[Hiring] Engineering Expert @Weekday AI

Role Description

We are seeking experienced Engineering Experts to design, develop, and validate complex engineering simulation problems for training and evaluating advanced AI models and coding agents. This role combines deep engineering expertise, scientific computing, simulation-based design, and AI evaluation to create challenging tasks that test an AI system's ability to interpret technical requirements, solve engineering problems, use simulation tools, and produce physically valid solutions.

Experts will work across Electrical, Mechanical, and Aerospace Engineering, developing realistic, multi-constraint problems with measurable objectives and objectively verifiable outcomes. The role also involves analyzing AI execution logs, identifying reasoning and tool-use failures, and refining evaluation benchmarks to improve model performance.

Qualifications

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
• At least 10 years of practical engineering design experience.
• Strong Python programming and scripting skills.
• Hands-on proficiency with at least one relevant open-source engineering simulation or design tool, such as:
• Electrical simulation: ngspice, PySpice
• Mechanical and computational engineering: OpenFOAM, FEniCSx, CalculiX
• Control systems: python-control, OpenModelica
• CAD and design automation: CadQuery, build123d
• Thermodynamics and meshing: Cantera, Gmsh
• Experience developing, executing, debugging, and validating simulation-based engineering workflows.
• Familiarity with modern LLMs, AI coding agents, and AI evaluation methodologies.
• Ability to analyze model execution logs and identify underlying reasoning, planning, and tool-use failures.
• Strong understanding of physical constraints, units, boundary conditions, numerical convergence, and engineering validation.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and technical documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and deliver technically accurate results within defined timelines.

Requirements

• Expected commitment of approximately 40 hours per week.
• At least 4 hours of daily overlap with US Pacific Time.
• Weekend on-call availability is required; part-time engagement may be acceptable where agreed.
• The engagement is contractor-based and may last up to 24 weeks.
• Candidates must have a personal desktop or laptop and a stable, high-speed internet connection.
• Compensation is USD 500 per task, with an estimated 30–40 hours of effort per task. Actual task allocation and payment terms should be confirmed before engagement.

Benefits

• Remote work arrangement.
• Access to a personal computer and reliable high-speed internet.
