About this job

This contract role invites principal-level engineers, scientists, and faculty to write demanding technical problems from their own field, each with a verified solution and clear reasoning. It is aimed at experts in aerospace, semiconductors, manufacturing and industrial engineering, or materials science, including those working across two of these areas. No prior AI experience is needed because the work relies on existing domain knowledge.

What you'll do

  • Design difficult technical problems from your own area, with realistic constraints and supporting data.
  • Provide the correct solution and explain the reasoning that leads to it.
  • Define objective correctness criteria that another expert could apply to reach the same verdict.
  • Review problems written by other contributors for technical accuracy and sound method, and flag ambiguous ones.
