Engineering PhD

Role: Engineering PhD

Opportunity Snapshot

Pay: $80–95/hour

Duration: Short-term pilot — approximately 2–3 weeks

Project kickoff: Ideally end of week( November 8th)

Location: Fully remote

You’ll need: PhD or PhD candidate in electrical, mechanical, chemical, industrial, or aerospace engineering

Your tasks: Build technical problems from real engineering workflows and define what makes an answer correct

This is a short pilot, roughly 2–3 weeks, focused on real engineering workflows: the problems you’d actually encounter in your research or practice, not textbook exercises. You’ll build those problems, provide the correct analysis, and define what separates a right answer from one that only looks right.

What you’ll do

• Design technical problems drawn from real engineering work in your field, with realistic constraints and supporting data.

• Provide the correct solution and walk through the reasoning that gets there.

• Define objective criteria for correctness, so another engineer reviewing the work would reach the same verdict.

• Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method.

• Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.

What we’re looking for

• PhD, or PhD candidate, in electrical, mechanical, chemical, industrial, or aerospace engineering.

• Degree from a strong research institution is preferred.

• Hands-on research or practice experience — problems you worked on yourself, not ones you read about.
