Handshake is seeking Civil Engineering Technologists and Technicians to contribute to an AI research project. You'll leverage your professional experience to evaluate AI models and provide feedback. No AI experience is required, but familiarity with AutoCAD is beneficial.
You have at least 4 years of professional experience in civil engineering or related fields, which equips you with the context needed to evaluate and train AI models effectively. Your expertise includes calculating dimensions, material quantities, and costs for civil engineering projects using specialized software like AutoCAD. You are comfortable drafting detailed design layouts and inspecting project sites to ensure compliance with regulations. You possess strong communication skills, allowing you to deliver clear and structured feedback that enhances AI models' understanding of workplace tasks and language. You are adaptable and open to learning new skills, contributing to the evolving landscape of AI in your field. You are excited about the opportunity to work independently and flexibly, managing your hours to fit your schedule.
Experience with AI or machine learning concepts is a plus, but not required. Familiarity with additional engineering software or tools can enhance your contributions to the project. A proactive attitude towards learning and adapting to new technologies will be beneficial in this role.
In this role, you will participate in an hourly, temporary AI research project, evaluating AI models based on your professional experience. You will develop prompts for AI models that reflect your field and assess the responses generated by these models. Your feedback will play a crucial role in strengthening the AI's understanding of civil engineering tasks and language. The position is remote and asynchronous, allowing you to work independently from anywhere in the United States. You will have the flexibility to choose your hours, with an average commitment of 5-20 hours per week. Your placement in specific projects will depend on availability, and you can apply for future opportunities if current projects do not align with your schedule.
