Engineering Design Specialist

Engineering Design Specialist

The role focuses on crafting realistic engineering design tasks where a model must make genuine trade-offs, size components, and ite

Day-to-day

• Design and validate simulation-based engineering problems that require true design reasoning, with clear constraints and optimization goals.
• Deliver complete problem sets including reference solutions, near-miss variants, edge cases, and documentation, ensure appropriate difficulty with multiple failure modes, and collabo

You bring

• Robotics — kinematic/dynamic design, motion planning, actuator and sensor selection, mechatronic system integration.
• Master’s or PhD in a relevant engineering/applied science field.
• 3+ years of hands-on engineering design experience, producing validated designs from competing specs (not just analysis).
• Proficient in at least one open-source simulation tool relevant to the domain.
• Strong Python (or equivalent) scripting skills.
• High attention to detail across units, boundary conditions, convergence, and physical realism.

Pay

• Commitments Required: at least 4 hours per day and up to 40 hours per week with 4 hours of overlap with PST.
