We're looking for structural and civil engineers based in the US to design, create, and evaluate AI training tasks rooted in real-world structural engineering challenges — from pushover analysis and retrofit design to code-compliant detailing and finite element simulation.You won't need to be an AI researcher. You'll bring the engineering judgment; we'll provide the framework. Each task you create is a small, well-defined engineering challenge with three parts: a clear problem statement for the AI model, a deterministic checker that scores the model's answer, and a trusted reference solution that proves the task is solvable. Your domain knowledge in tools like OpenSees, ETABS, and SAP2000 — and standards like ACI 318, AISC, and Eurocode — is exactly what's needed to push AI capability forward in structural engineering.This is a fully remote, flexible contract role for practicing or experienced structural engineers who want to work at the intersection of their discipline and cutting-edge AI.Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/weekWhat You'll DoDesign AI training tasks based on real structural engineering problems — spanning analysis, design, simulation, and code complianceWrite clear, precise problem statements that test an AI model's ability to reason about structural behaviorDevelop deterministic scoring checkers and reference solutions for each taskDraw on your experience with OpenSees to build realistic, well-scoped tasksCreate tasks covering areas like pushover analysis, seismic design, FEA modeling, reinforced concrete design, steel connection detailing, and structural retrofitEvaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, engineering soundness, and adherence to relevant standards (ACI 318, AISC, Eurocode)Provide structured, expert feedback that helps improve AI performance in the structural engineering domainWork independently and asynchronously — fully on your own scheduleWho You AreDegree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related field (BS required; MS or PhD is a plus)Applied experience in structural analysis and design — you've used the software and applied the codes in practiceProficient with OpenSeesFamiliar with design standards such as ACI 318, AISC 360, or Eurocode (EN 1992, EN 1993, EN 1998)Comfortable with concepts like pushover analysis, response spectrum analysis, nonlinear modeling, or performance-based designAble to formulate engineering problems clearly and write unambiguous problem statementsDetail-oriented, methodical, and self-motivated when working independentlyStrong written communication skills in EnglishNice to HaveExperience with finite element analysis (FEA) beyond commercial software — e.g., scripting in OpenSees Tcl/PythonBackground in seismic assessment, retrofit design, or performance-based earthquake engineeringFamiliarity with reinforcement learning, AI training workflows, or prompt engineeringPublished research or professional project work in structural or earthquake engineeringPE, SE, or Chartered Engineer registrationExperience mentoring, teaching, or creating educational engineering contentWhy Join UsWork at the cutting edge of AI and structural engineering — a rare intersection with enormous potentialCollaborate alongside leading AI research labs on projects that matterFully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work from anywhereFreelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually engaging workYour engineering expertise directly shapes how AI learns to reason about the built environmentPotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launchNo AI or machine learning background required — your structural engineering knowledge is the expertise we need","company":"Alignerr","rawCompany":"alignerr","city":"Houston","state":"TX","isRemote":true,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-06-22T09:18:24.619Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2051.00","title":"Civil Engineers","slug":"civil-engineers"},{"code":"17-2199.00","title":"Engineers, All Other","slug":"engineers-all-other"},{"code":"17-3022.00","title":"Civil Engineering Technologists and Technicians","slug":"civil-engineering-technologists-and-technicians"}],"industries":[{"code":"541330","title":"Engineering Services","slug":"engineering-services"},{"code":"541690","title":"Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services","slug":"other-scientific-and-technical-consulting-services"},{"code":"541990","title":"All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services","slug":"all-other-professional-scientific-and-technical-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Structural Engineer — AI Task Creator (Remote Contract)","description":"Structural Engineer — AI Task CreatorAbout The RoleWhat if your expertise in structural analysis and seismic design could teach AI to think like an engineer?
