Overview
Handshake AI hires AEC professionals who know BIM authoring tools such as Blender (Bonsai), FreeCAD BIM/IFC, and VectorWorks. You will join a remote fellowship that supports an AI research effort, with project work that appears throughout the year as openings arise. The schedule is asynchronous, part-time, and has no minimum hour requirement, so you set your own availability. Assignments can involve writing domain prompts and reviewing how large language models respond to AEC tasks. Pay is $125 per hour.
What You'll Do6
- Write domain-specific prompts that mirror real AEC tasks, design reviews, and BIM coordination work.
- Assess large language model responses for technical accuracy against BIM standards and your own project experience.
- Use VectorWorks, FreeCAD BIM/IFC, or BlenderBIM (Bonsai) to check whether model output matches how the tools behave in practice.
- Mark errors, gaps, or unsafe assumptions in AI answers and explain the correct AEC outcome.
- Share evaluation notes with AI research teams through remote, async channels.
- Take on project assignments as they open, based on your availability and domain fit.
Requirements4
- At least 1 year of full-time work with one or more of these BIM tools: VectorWorks, FreeCAD BIM/IFC, or BlenderBIM (Bonsai).
- Experience with related AEC technical tools that support BIM authoring, model checking, or IFC workflows.
- Capacity to work async with AI research teams and manage your own schedule.
- Ability to turn AEC expertise into clear written prompts and evaluations.
Who Should Apply
An AEC professional with at least one year of full-time BIM tool experience fits this fellowship best, if you have used VectorWorks, FreeCAD BIM/IFC, or BlenderBIM (Bonsai) on live projects. The role suits someone who can set their own hours and work alone on prompts and model response reviews. Candidates who need a fixed schedule, frequent live meetings, or a permanent team environment will find the part-time, project-based setup a poor match. Screens often reject applicants who list BIM tools from school or side projects but cannot show 1+ years of full-time use. Another common low-fit signal is applying without naming which listed tool you know and how you used it.
Salary Insight
The listing sets pay at $125.00 per hour. That number puts the role at the high end of project-based AI training work, which makes sense for a fellowship that asks for 1+ years of hands-on BIM experience. Hours are flexible and the source does not mention a minimum commitment, so your total earnings depend on how many project assignments you take.
