Explosive Engineering Specialist - Freelance AI Trainer Project

Role overview Apply explosive engineering expertise to assess how well AI systems reason about energetic materials and related engineering topics. You’ll examine technical scenarios, verify factual accuracy and logic, and record model failures in a form that can be reproduced and evaluated. The work is a remote contract project involving a high-risk technical field; it calls for careful, evidence-based communication.

Responsibilities - Review model responses to theoretical explosive engineering and real-world technical scenarios. - Assess reasoning about detonation physics, blast wave propagation, structural response, and initiation systems. - Evaluate explanations involving shock dynamics, fragmentation, high-speed diagnostics, propellant chemistry, and post-blast forensics. - Identify inaccurate claims or gaps in logic and document reproducible examples for evaluation. - Suggest improvements to prompts and assessment methods based on recurring errors. - Explain technical judgments clearly and support them with sound engineering reasoning.

Requirements - Substantial expertise in explosive engineering or a closely related technical discipline. - Ability to evaluate engineering claims and communicate complex reasoning precisely. - A PhD in explosive engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, or a related field is preferred. - Published research, defense or demolition work, or detonation testing experience is relevant.

Benefits and work setup - Remote contract work, with an advertised rate of $8–$65 per hour; the final rate depends on experience, expertise, and location. - Contractors provide their own secure computer and high-speed internet. Health insurance and paid time off are not included.
