Overview
Handshake AI needs power systems and T&D engineers for part-time project work that raises how AI models handle grid and controls topics. You will apply power systems analysis, T&D planning, and industrial controls knowledge to test model output against real utility workflows. Assignments arrive on an ongoing basis, so you can keep a current engineering job while you contribute. The fellowship pays $80 per hour with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement. Engineers who use tools such as CYME, PSS/E, ETAP, or WinCC will find the tasks close to their regular work.
What You'll Do5
- Build expert-level training questions and scenarios from actual power systems and T&D tasks.
- Check AI answers for technical accuracy and relevance to grid planning, operations, and controls.
- Write structured feedback that identifies errors and explains the engineering logic behind correct answers.
- Use your own tool experience with CYME, PSS/E, ETAP, or WinCC to judge model responses.
- Set your own hours and complete tasks without a fixed schedule or minimum hour target.
Requirements5
- Two or more years of professional work in power systems engineering, T&D planning, or industrial controls.
- Experience in a role such as Distribution Planning Engineer, Transmission Planning Engineer, Power Systems Engineer, SCADA Engineer, or Control Systems Engineer.
- Hands-on use of at least one tool from this list: CYME, PSS/E, ETAP, or WinCC.
- Strong written English for remote, asynchronous review tasks.
- Ability to manage your own workload and deliver detailed feedback without direct supervision.
Who Should Apply
The role fits engineers with at least two years in power systems, T&D planning, or industrial controls who work with CYME, PSS/E, ETAP, or WinCC. You will do well if you can explain grid planning and controls decisions in writing and handle tasks without a fixed schedule. This work is less suitable for someone new to power systems or for engineers who want live team collaboration and manager-led task lists. Applicants often score low when they show academic projects instead of two or more years of professional work. Another common miss is feedback that labels an answer wrong without walking through the correct engineering method.
Salary Insight
The source lists $80.00 per hour for this part-time fellowship. For flexible, project-based AI work in specialized engineering domains, that rate is strong and aligns with contributors who bring years of hands-on power systems or T&D experience. The listing does not mention benefits, overtime, or a guaranteed number of hours each week.
