Scientific Computing / Research Engineering Expert — Engineering

Role Overview: We are staffing a frontier AI initiative that requires strong Engineering experts to develop realistic, terminal-based scientific and technical tasks used to train and evaluate AI agents. The work involves translating authentic engineering workflows into reproducible computational tasks that test modeling, simulation, optimization, data processing, debugging, and technical validation. The role spans disciplines including mechanical, electrical, chemical, aerospace, civil, materials, biomedical, robotics, and control systems engineering. What You'll Do: - Design realistic, multi-step terminal tasks based on real-world engineering and scientific workflows. - Create engineering datasets, simulation inputs, geometry files, sensor data, design constraints, and configuration files. - Develop expert solutions using Python, C/C++, Julia, MATLAB/Octave, Bash, or relevant engineering software. - Build reproducible, containerized environments with appropriate engineering tools and pinned dependencies. - Develop tasks involving simulation, numerical analysis, optimization, control systems, signal processing, finite-element concepts, CAD-related data, and engineering design. - Create automated tests and objective grading criteria that validate engineering correctness, including units, physical constraints, tolerances, convergence, stability, boundary conditions, and numerical behavior. - Debug solver, dependency, workflow, precision, and performance issues and clearly document assumptions, requirements, expected outputs, and edge cases.
