Engineering Professional - AI Fellowship (Remote)
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI hires experienced engineers for a part-time fellowship that sharpens how AI models handle professional engineering work. You will write industry-specific prompts and review LLM responses for accuracy, safety, and technical depth. The role is remote and asynchronous, with flexible hours and no minimum weekly commitment. Projects open across mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and biomedical engineering throughout the year, and placement depends on current project availability.
What You'll Do6
- 1Develop prompts that reflect tasks from mechanical, electrical, or biomedical engineering workplaces.
- 2Evaluate AI-generated answers for technical errors, missing context, and unsupported claims.
- 3Compare model output with accepted engineering methods and field standards.
- 4Document findings so AI lab partners can understand each correction and its reason.
- 5Adjust prompt sets when a project shifts to a new engineering specialty.
- 6Partner with AI researchers through asynchronous channels and meet project milestones.
Requirements5
- 15 or more years of work experience as a mechanical engineering technologist or technician, electrical engineer, bioengineer, or biomedical engineer.
- 2Comfort working on an asynchronous schedule with leading AI labs.
- 3Strong written English for prompt writing and answer review.
- 4Ability to spot technical flaws in model responses and explain them in plain terms.
- 5A remote work setup that supports independent project tasks.
Who Should Apply
The strongest match is an engineer with at least five years in mechanical engineering technology, electrical engineering, bioengineering, or biomedical engineering. You should enjoy writing clear prompts, judging AI output, and working on your own schedule with remote AI labs. Candidates under five years in one of those exact fields often score lower, as do people who need guaranteed hours or a set weekly workload. Applications also fall short when they list engineering experience without showing the specific role or the writing skill needed to critique model answers.
Salary Insight
Handshake posts compensation up to $100.00 per hour for this fellowship. That cap sits at the high end for specialized AI training work, so your actual rate and hours will depend on the project you match with and your engineering field.
