Aerospace Engineering Expert

Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
Compensation: $80–$185/hour
Time Commitment: Flexible – suitable alongside your current professional role

Job Description

We are seeking highly experienced Aerospace Engineering Experts to contribute to an advanced technical evaluation project. In this role, you will use your specialized engineering knowledge to develop challenging technical problems, provide accurate solutions, and establish objective criteria for evaluating technical correctness.

You will focus on complex, real-world engineering challenges where solving problems requires deep technical expertise, careful analysis, and the ability to interpret constraints accurately.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Design challenging technical problems within aerospace engineering domains such as aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC), orbital mechanics, and systems engineering.
  2. Develop realistic problem scenarios incorporating practical constraints and supporting technical data.
  3. Provide accurate solutions with clear, step-by-step technical reasoning.
  4. Define objective evaluation criteria to ensure consistent and reliable assessment of technical answers.
  5. Review technical problems developed by other contributors for accuracy, completeness, and sound engineering methodology.
  6. Identify and flag problems that are ambiguous, technically flawed, or unsuitable for objective evaluation.

Required Qualifications

  1. Master's or PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
  2. Principal-, Staff-, or Fellow-level industry experience at a major aerospace organization, or a faculty appointment at a leading university.
  3. Deep technical expertise in at least one aerospace engineering subdomain, supported by hands-on ownership of relevant work.
  4. Strong ability to explain technical concepts and solutions clearly enough for other engineers to independently verify.
  5. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  1. Publications, patents, or a proven record of technical leadership in aerospace engineering.
  2. Previous experience in AI or Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation is an advantage but not required.

Selection Process

  1. Application: Submit your application and complete the screening questions.
  2. AI Interview: Complete the AI interview for this role to demonstrate your technical expertise to the client.
  3. Profile Review: Your professional profile and qualifications will be reviewed.
  4. Onboarding: The Talent Operations team will guide you through the onboarding process.

Additional Information

  • Fully remote opportunity.
  • Flexible work commitment that can be managed alongside your current professional responsibilities.
  • Opportunity to apply advanced aerospace engineering expertise to challenging technical evaluation tasks.
