Electrical Engineering Expert - Remote Canada
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
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
- 1Build expert engineering problems and scenarios that reflect actual design, test, and field constraints.
- 2Judge AI answers for technical correctness, real-world feasibility, and alignment with standard engineering practice.
- 3Write structured feedback that explains errors and points to stronger reasoning.
- 4Work at your own pace without a required schedule or minimum hour requirement.
- 5Apply domain depth in power systems, microgrids, high-voltage work, semiconductors, chip design, EDA, embedded systems, DSP, or RF.
Requirements7
- 1Two or more years of hands-on electrical engineering work in industry.
- 2MS or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering. A BS in EE with strong industry experience also qualifies.
- 3Proven depth in one track: power systems, microgrids, or high-voltage engineering; semiconductors, chip design, or EDA; embedded systems, DSP, or RF.
- 4Canadian work authorization.
- 5Clear technical writing, close attention to detail, and comfort working alone in a remote, asynchronous setup.
- 6Tool 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.
- 7Engineering 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.

Application Tip
Lead your resume with the sub-domain the posting asks for, then prove it with one concrete project such as a microgrid control design, a chip tapeout, an RF board bring-up, or a DSP implementation. Add exact tools from the listing, like MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, Cadence, or Verilog, and confirm Canadian work authorization near the top.

Handshake AI
VerifiedElectrical Engineering Expert - Remote Contract
Handshake AI engages experienced electrical and computer engineers for part-time contract work that advances AI research. The project asks you to use hands-on industry knowledge in power systems, semiconductors, or embedded/RF design to judge AI output and write feedback that teaches models how a working engineer thinks. You create expert-level problems, review model answers for technical accuracy and practical feasibility, and submit structured critiques. Work runs as an ongoing project alongside your current role. Tasks follow your schedule, with no minimum hour requirement.
Handshake AI
VerifiedEmbedded Systems & RF Engineer Remote Canada
Handshake AI seeks experienced embedded systems and RF engineers for part-time contract work that supports AI research. You will use your industry background in embedded firmware, DSP, RF and antenna design, or wireless communications to judge AI-generated content and show where it falls short. The project runs on an ongoing basis, so you can add it alongside a current engineering role. Tasks are self-paced and have no set schedule or minimum hours.
Handshake AI
VerifiedPower Systems Engineer - AI Research (Canada)
Handshake AI seeks practicing power engineers to join an ongoing, remote fellowship that improves how AI models handle power systems reasoning. You will turn real design, analysis, testing, commissioning, operations, and field experience into expert prompts and review model answers for technical accuracy, safety, and code alignment. The work covers topics such as microgrids, high-voltage substations, protection and control, and power-flow or short-circuit studies. Hours are flexible and asynchronous, with most contributors working 5 to 20 hours per week and no minimum commitment.
AfterQuery
VerifiedElectrical Engineer Expert - Remote Contract
AfterQuery needs electrical engineers to build the design and analysis problems that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. You will author scenarios that span requirements through design review, then write reference answers that explain the engineering reasoning behind each choice. Another core task involves grading model output for technical accuracy and standards compliance, plus flagging designs that read as plausible yet would fail in practice. Contractors bring depth in at least one area, such as power systems, embedded hardware, or circuit design. The role runs remote and async, pays $100 to $125 per hour, and asks for 10 hours per week with weekly Stripe payments.
Handshake AI
