Robotics Engineer - AI Evaluation (India)
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI seeks robotics engineers in India for part-time, project-based work that supports AI research. You will use hands-on experience in control systems, motion planning, or robotic system design to craft expert-level problems and judge AI-generated responses. Tasks center on real system design, sim-to-real workflows, and field deployment, with optional work across ROS/ROS2, Gazebo, MuJoCo, or Isaac Sim. No fixed schedule or minimum hours, so you can take on projects alongside a current role. The engagement runs as a fellowship and pays $47 per hour.
What You'll Do5
- 1Build expert-level robotics problems and scenarios based on real system design, sim-to-real workflows, and field deployment conditions.
- 2Review AI-generated answers for technical accuracy, feasibility, and alignment with how robotics work happens in practice.
- 3Write structured feedback that helps AI models reason more like a practicing robotics engineer.
- 4Assess responses across areas such as control systems, motion planning, SLAM, and simulation.
- 5Set your own pace with no minimum hour requirement and no fixed schedule.
Requirements10
- 1Industry or research background with shipped robotic systems or published robotics research, including the ability to build a full sim-to-solution task end to end.
- 2MS or PhD in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science with a robotics focus. Senior industry robotics engineers without an advanced degree also qualify.
- 3Demonstrated depth in at least one sub-domain: ROS/ROS2 and control theory; motion planning, kinematics/dynamics, and sensor fusion; or SLAM and simulation with Gazebo, MuJoCo, or Isaac Sim.
- 4Candidates who meet two of the three main qualifications above can still apply.
- 5Proficiency across the full robotics stack, including ROS/ROS2, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or Isaac Sim, strengthens an application.
- 6Experience shipping robotic systems to production or publishing in robotics venues helps.
- 7Indian work authorization.
- 8Strong written communication and attention to detail.
- 9Ability to explain complex robotics concepts in clear terms.
- 10Ability to work with autonomy in a remote, asynchronous environment.
Who Should Apply
Candidates who fit best have shipped real robotic systems or published robotics research, hold an MS or PhD in robotics or a related engineering field, and can build a full sim-to-solution task on their own. Depth in at least one sub-domain matters, whether that is ROS/ROS2 with control theory, motion planning and sensor fusion, or SLAM with Gazebo, MuJoCo, or Isaac Sim. Senior engineers without an advanced degree also qualify when their industry record shows equivalent hands-on work. The role suits people who write clear technical feedback and can manage remote, asynchronous tasks, while applicants often score low when they list broad robotics exposure but cannot show one deep sub-domain or lack Indian work authorization. People who need a fixed schedule or close team direction will find this fellowship less suitable.
Salary Insight
Pay is $47.00 per hour. For part-time AI evaluation and expert annotation work, this rate sits at the higher end and matches engineers with graduate-level robotics training or senior industry experience. The source does not list a project duration or hour cap, so earnings depend on how many tasks you take.

Application Tip
In your application, name one sub-domain from the listing, such as ROS/ROS2 control, motion planning, or SLAM with Isaac Sim, and attach a concrete example where you shipped a robotic system or built a sim-to-real task end to end. Quantify the result, for example deployment scale, accuracy gain, or publication venue, and confirm Indian work authorization up front. That combination matches the qualifications reviewers check first.
