The work
You will create original civil and computational engineering problems that reflect real engineering work. Each problem must include a clear statement, a fully verified solution, documented reasoning, and a reproducible final answer.
Your work will support AI training through written examples and evaluations. You will use Python and common engineering libraries to check calculations and validate solutions.
- Design realistic problems involving analysis, optimization, numerical methods, iterative solutions, or simulation-style calculations.
- Write clear problem statements and complete, correct solutions.
- Document the reasoning behind each solution.
- Use Python with NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar tools to verify engineering results.
- Review solutions for correctness and reproducibility.
What it pays and takes
This is an intermediate, part-time contractor role for someone with civil engineering knowledge and strong written English. Experience with other technical tools can qualify if you can work effectively in Python for verification.
- Pay: $15 to $50 per hour.
- Time: 20+ hours per week.
- Location: Worldwide.
- Education: A degree in civil engineering or a closely related field.
- Experience: At least 2 years of relevant applied, research, or teaching experience.
- English: Strong written English at C1 level or higher.
- Technical skills: Comfortable using Python to validate engineering solutions, including work with NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar libraries.
- Related experience with MATLAB, R, C, or SQL may be acceptable if you can use Python effectively for verification.
