Structural Engineer — AI Task Creator (Remote Contract)
Job Description
You won't need to be an AI researcher. You'll bring the engineering judgment; we'll provide the framework. Each task you create is a small, well-defined engineering challenge with three parts: a clear problem statement for the AI model, a deterministic checker that scores the model's answer, and a trusted reference solution that proves the task is solvable. Your domain knowledge in tools like OpenSees, ETABS, and SAP2000 — and standards like IS 456, IS 800, ACI 318, AISC, and Eurocode — is exactly what's needed to push AI capability forward in structural engineering.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role for practicing or experienced structural engineers who want to work at the intersection of their discipline and cutting-edge AI.
• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
• Design AI training tasks based on real structural engineering problems — spanning analysis, design, simulation, and code compliance
• Write clear, precise problem statements that test an AI model's ability to reason about structural behavior
• Develop deterministic scoring checkers and reference solutions for each task
• Draw on your experience with OpenSees to build realistic, well-scoped tasks
• Create tasks covering areas like pushover analysis, seismic design, FEA modeling, reinforced concrete design, steel connection detailing, and structural retrofit
• Evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, engineering soundness, and adherence to relevant standards (IS 456, IS 800, ACI 318, AISC, Eurocode)
• Provide structured, expert feedback that helps improve AI performance in the structural engineering domain
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
• Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related field (BE/BTech required; ME/MTech or PhD is a plus)
• Applied experience in structural analysis and design — you've used the software and applied the codes in practice
• Proficient with OpenSees
• Familiar with Indian and international design standards such as IS 456, IS 800, ACI 318, AISC 360, or Eurocode
• Comfortable with concepts like pushover analysis, response spectrum analysis, nonlinear modeling, or performance-based design
• Able to formulate engineering problems clearly and write unambiguous problem statements
• Detail-oriented, methodical, and self-motivated when working independently
• Strong written communication skills in English
