We are engaging experienced Hardware Engineers to contribute to AI training projects built around complex, real-world engineering problems.
We are looking for engineers who have personally owned meaningful technical work—such as taking a hardware system into production, validating a model against test data, developing a rigorous verification approach, or diagnosing a difficult failure. We value engineers who can connect first-principles reasoning with practical constraints and produce work that can be independently verified.
Scope of Work
- Create technically rigorous, self-contained hardware engineering problems based on realistic industry or research scenarios.
- Develop clear reference solutions using engineering calculations, simulations, scripts, experimental reasoning, or other appropriate methods.
- Use tools such as Python, MATLAB, Simulink, SPICE, Julia, C/C++, test automation platforms, or equivalent engineering software to validate results when relevant.
Nice to have
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.
- Significant professional or research experience in hardware engineering, product development, systems integration, testing, validation, reliability, or failure analysis.
- Demonstrated ownership of a substantial engineering problem—for example, a product or subsystem that reached production, a model validated against physical testing, a test system you developed, or a difficult failure you diagnosed.
- Experience working with Coding Agents is a must
Process
- Apply to the role and complete the screening questions.
- Complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes.
- Complete the hiring manager review.
Eligibility
- This is a fully remote position, open to candidates based in 55 countries, including United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, India, France, Netherlands, Singapore.
