Overview
Handshake AI seeks engineers with direct industry time in embedded systems, RF, or digital signal processing to improve how models handle real engineering problems. You will build expert-level tasks and scenarios that mirror embedded firmware, RF design, and DSP workflows. Then you review AI answers for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and the way engineers solve problems in industry. The work runs as an ongoing, project-based contract, so you can pair it with a current job and set your own hours.
What You'll Do5
- Use your industry background to write advanced engineering problems and scenarios based on embedded, DSP, and RF design workflows.
- Review AI-generated answers for technical correctness, practical feasibility, and fit with real engineering practice.
- Send structured written feedback that helps model developers improve AI performance.
- Choose your own hours and complete tasks without a set schedule or minimum hour requirement.
- Apply expertise in embedded firmware, real-time systems, digital signal processing, antenna design, or wireless communications to shape training content.
Requirements6
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or Computer Engineering. A BS in EE or ECE works when you pair it with strong industry experience.
- At least 2 years of hands-on work in embedded systems, DSP, or RF in industry.
- Deep knowledge in one or more areas: embedded firmware, real-time systems, digital signal processing, RF and antenna design, or wireless communications.
- Familiarity with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SPICE, LTspice, Altium, KiCad, or GNU Radio is a plus.
- Clear written communication and close attention to detail.
- Ability to work on your own in a remote, asynchronous setting.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate holds a graduate degree in electrical, electronics, or computer engineering, or a BS with solid industry time, and brings at least 2 years of embedded, DSP, or RF engineering work. You should know one specialty well, whether that is embedded firmware, real-time systems, DSP, antenna design, or wireless communications, and you can explain engineering tradeoffs in writing. The role fits engineers who want part-time, project-based AI training work next to a full-time job. The role is less suited to people without hands-on industry experience or without depth in any listed specialty. Common reasons candidates score low include a résumé that lists embedded or RF keywords without showing 2+ years of real design work, and feedback samples that stay vague instead of naming technical errors or design constraints.
Salary Insight
The posting lists $120.00 per hour. That rate applies to part-time, project-based AI training work, so pay arrives as per-hour compensation rather than an annual salary. The figure matches the advanced degree and 2+ years of industry experience the project seeks.
