Overview
Handshake AI hires practicing electrical and computer engineers to shape how AI models handle real engineering judgment. You will create power systems, semiconductor, or embedded/RF problems drawn from design, test, and field work, then score model answers for technical accuracy and practical feasibility. The engagement runs as a part-time fellowship with no fixed hours, so you can keep your current engineering job. Your written critiques become training signals that push the model toward the reasoning style of a working engineer.
What You'll Do5
- Build expert engineering problems and scenarios that reflect actual design, test, and field constraints.
- Judge AI answers for technical correctness, real-world feasibility, and alignment with standard engineering practice.
- Write structured feedback that explains errors and points to stronger reasoning.
- Work at your own pace without a required schedule or minimum hour requirement.
- Apply domain depth in power systems, microgrids, high-voltage work, semiconductors, chip design, EDA, embedded systems, DSP, or RF.
Requirements7
- Two or more years of hands-on electrical engineering work in industry.
- MS or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering. A BS in EE with strong industry experience also qualifies.
- Proven depth in one track: power systems, microgrids, or high-voltage engineering; semiconductors, chip design, or EDA; embedded systems, DSP, or RF.
- Canadian work authorization.
- Clear technical writing, close attention to detail, and comfort working alone in a remote, asynchronous setup.
- Tool familiarity that strengthens an application: MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SPICE, PSCAD, ETAP, PSS®E, Cadence, Synopsys, Altium, KiCad, Verilog/SystemVerilog, or similar simulation and EDA environments.
- Engineering experience at a recognized hardware employer such as Qualcomm, TI, Intel, NVIDIA, GE, or Siemens.
Who Should Apply
An electrical engineer with at least two years in industry and a graduate degree in EE, computer engineering, or electronics will fit this project well. The work rewards people who can point to deep hands-on work in power systems, chip design, or embedded/RF and who can explain engineering tradeoffs in writing. Candidates without Canadian work authorization cannot move forward, no matter how strong their technical background. Applications also lose ground when a resume lists only coursework or academic projects instead of production design, test, or field experience. A generalist EE with no clear sub-domain story often scores lower than someone who names specific tools and hardware programs they have used.
Salary Insight
The listing sets compensation at $96.00 per hour for this part-time fellowship. That rate matches senior hardware or electrical engineering expertise with graduate training, not entry-level support. No other pay details appear in the source.
