Job Description
Engineering Design Specialist
Role Overvie
wWe are looking for experienced engineers with deep design expertise to create challenging, simulation-based design problems for training and evaluating advanced AI models. The role focuses on crafting realistic engineering design tasks where a model must make genuine trade-offs, size components, and iterate against physics-based simulators to meet competing specifications
.Key Responsibilitie
- sDesign and validate simulation-based engineering problems that require true design reasoning, with clear constraints and optimization goals
- .Deliver complete problem sets including reference solutions, near-miss variants, edge cases, and documentation, ensure appropriate difficulty with multiple failure modes, and collaborate with researchers to refine problems based on model performance
.Domain Track
- sYou should have deep design expertise in at least one of the following; expertise spanning multiple tracks is a strong plus
- .Electrical & Computer Engineering analog/mixed-signal IC design, power electronics, RF/microwave, digital system design, FPGA/ASIC, embedded systems
- .Mechanical Engineering structural/thermal/fluid system design, mechanism design, HVAC, vibration/dynamics, manufacturing process design
- .Chemical Engineering reactor design, process design and optimization, separation systems, transport phenomena, combustion and thermochemistry
- .Control Systems classical and modern control design, state estimation, nonlinear and robust control, system identification
- .Materials / Nano materials selection under constraints, microstructure-property design, thin-film and nanoscale device design
- .Engineering Physics / Optics optical system design, photonic device design, laser systems, wave propagation and interference
- .Aerospace Engineering aerodynamic design, propulsion sizing, orbital mechanics, flight dynamics and stability, structural design for aerospace loads
- .Civil / Structural Engineering structural member and connection design, foundation design, seismic/wind loading, geotechnical design
- .Nuclear / Energy reactor core design, shielding, thermal-hydraulics, renewable energy system sizing, grid-scale storage design
- .Systems Engineering system architecture trade studies, requirements decomposition, interface design, multi-subsystem integration
- .Robotics kinematic/dynamic design, motion planning, actuator and sensor selection, mechatronic system integration
.Required Qualification
- :Master's or PhD in a relevant engineering/applied science field
- .3+ years of hands-on engineering design experience, producing validated designs from competing specs (not just analysis)
- .Proficient in at least one open-source simulation tool relevant to the domain
- .Strong Python (or equivalent) scripting skills
- .High attention to detail across units, boundary conditions, convergence, and physical realism
.Nice to Hav
- eExperience designing engineering coursework, exam problems, or design challenges at graduate level
- .Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines or automated testing frameworks
- .Exposure to LLM evaluation, AI benchmarking, or training data curation
- .Cross-domain familiarity with Control Systems, Embedded/Robotics, or Power Systems
