[Hiring] Engineering Question Design & Review Expert @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in engineering, academic assessment design, technical question authoring, applied mathematics, solution verification, and structured engineering content review. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on high-quality engineering assessment development, multiple-choice question writing, academic content verification, reference solution review, and rigorous technical reasoning evaluation. Selected professionals will apply their engineering expertise to author, review, and validate challenging assessment materials across core engineering domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineering Question Authoring
  • Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions across core engineering domains.
  • Design questions that test deep conceptual understanding, applied reasoning, technical judgment, and engineering problem-solving.
  • Ensure each question is precise, self-contained, unambiguous, and answerable based on the information provided.
  • Develop plausible answer choices that challenge advanced learners and expert reviewers.
• Technical Reasoning, Solution Writing & Difficulty Calibration
  • Write clear reference solutions in structured markdown format.
  • Rate question difficulty across levels such as introductory undergraduate, advanced undergraduate, or postgraduate-level expertise.
  • Provide academic references from reputable sources such as peer-reviewed journals, university materials, or recognized technical resources.
  • Ensure solutions are accurate, concise, technically sound, and aligned with the intended engineering concept.
• Question Verification & Academic Review
  • Review pre-written engineering questions for accuracy, clarity, rigor, completeness, and solvability.
  • Flag issues involving ambiguity, missing assumptions, weak distractors, unclear wording, or incorrect answer logic.
  • Edit questions where needed and document the rationale for changes.
  • Maintain high standards for technical precision, academic quality, and assessment reliability.

Qualifications

• Advanced expertise in mechanical engineering, thermal engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science, industrial engineering, systems engineering, civil engineering, or related engineering fields.
• Strong command of graduate-level engineering principles, applied mathematics, modeling, and domain-specific technical standards.
• Experience authoring, reviewing, teaching, grading, or verifying academic assessment content.
• Ability to express complex engineering ideas clearly and concisely in written English.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify subtle technical or conceptual issues.
• Comfort working independently on asynchronous academic review tasks.

Educational Background

• PhD or doctoral candidacy in engineering or a closely related technical field is highly relevant.
• Master's degree may be suitable for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific engineering subdomain.
• Equivalent experience in advanced research, technical teaching, industry engineering, academic writing, assessment design, or scholarly review may also be valuable.

Nice to Have

• Professional engineering licensure, industry engineering experience, research publications, university teaching experience, or academic assessment background.
• Familiarity with mechanical and thermal systems, electrical systems, aerospace systems, materials science, civil infrastructure, industrial systems, or applied engineering design.
• Experience preparing or reviewing exam questions, benchmark tasks, academic rubrics, reference solutions, or engineering problem sets.
• Strong comfort with markdown formatting, technical notation, academic references, engineering terminology, and structured review workflows.
• Availability for approximately 10+ hours per week depending on project needs.

Why This Opportunity

• Apply advanced engineering expertise to structured remote project work.
• Contribute to high-quality academic benchmark development, question authoring, solution review, and technical reasoning evaluation.
• Work on flexible assignments aligned with your academic, research, or engineering background.
• Use your technical judgment in a rigorous, detail-oriented review environment.
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation.

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role.
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling.
• Part-time commitment of approximately 10+ hours per week depending on project availability.
• Competitive rates between $50–$95 per hour depending on expertise.
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise.
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance.
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
