Electrical Engineering Expert

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for experienced electrical and computer engineers to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job - you'll draw on your hands-on industry experience in power systems, semiconductors, or embedded/RF design to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing engineer.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.

What You'll Do

• Use your industry expertise to create expert-level engineering problems and scenarios grounded in real design, test, and field work
• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with how the work is actually done
• Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
• Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Ideal candidates meet all three of the following

• Industry experience - 2+ years of hands-on EE work in industry
• Degree - MS or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering. A BS in EE also qualifies when paired with strong industry experience
• Sub-domain depth - demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas: Power systems, microgrids, or high-voltage engineering
• Semiconductors, chip design, or EDA
• Embedded systems, DSP, or RF

Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)

• Proficiency with industry tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SPICE, PSCAD, ETAP, PSS®E, Cadence, Synopsys, Altium, KiCad, Verilog/SystemVerilog, or comparable EDA and simulation environments
• Experience at a recognized EE/hardware employer (e.g. Qualcomm, TI, Intel, NVIDIA, GE, Siemens)

Required for all applicants

• Based in the United States or Canada
• Strong written communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment

Where you can work

This role is 100% remote, for applicants located in United States.
