Overview

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.

What You'll Do4

  • Build expert-level engineering problems and scenarios drawn from real design, test, and field work.
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with actual engineering practice.
  • Deliver structured written feedback that helps improve AI model performance.
  • Choose your own hours and complete tasks without a set schedule or minimum hour requirement.

Requirements7

  • 2+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience in industry.
  • MS or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering. A BS in EE also qualifies when paired with strong industry experience.
  • Demonstrated depth in one sub-domain: power systems, microgrids, or high-voltage engineering; semiconductors, chip design, or EDA; or embedded systems, DSP, or RF.
  • Proficiency with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SPICE, PSCAD, ETAP, PSS®E, Cadence, Synopsys, Altium, KiCad, Verilog/SystemVerilog, or similar EDA and simulation environments. These tools strengthen an application but are not required.
  • Experience at a recognized EE or hardware employer such as Qualcomm, TI, Intel, NVIDIA, GE, or Siemens. This background helps but is not required.
  • Based in the United States or Canada.
  • Strong written communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work on your own in a remote, asynchronous setting.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate brings at least two years of industry EE work, an MS or PhD in electrical, electronics, or computer engineering, and deep knowledge in one area such as power systems, chip design, or RF. A BS in EE with a strong industry record also fits. This role suits engineers who can explain technical tradeoffs in writing and manage their own workload. Candidates without hands-on industry experience, a clear sub-domain specialty, or eligibility in the United States and Canada will find the role less suitable. Reviewers turn down many applicants who list broad EE skills but cannot show specific projects, tools, or measurable outcomes, and submissions with vague feedback or weak written explanations also score low.

Salary Insight

The posting lists $120.00 per hour. That rate matches the seniority of experienced electrical engineers with advanced degrees or deep sub-domain expertise, and the part-time project format means your earnings track the hours you choose to work.
