Energy Expert

Role overview Design demanding energy engineering problems for AI training and evaluation. Each assignment should have a single verifiable answer, supported by a complete, checked solution and clear reasoning. The subject matter can span energy technologies, infrastructure, performance, and economics.

Responsibilities - Create original, technically rigorous problems that reflect real energy engineering analysis. - Ensure each problem is deterministic and has exactly one correct, verifiable answer. - Provide complete solutions and explain the reasoning in a way that can be independently followed. - Develop quantitative scenarios involving areas such as renewables, generation, storage, grids, efficiency, thermodynamics, or energy economics. - Validate results with computational or energy modeling tools where useful. - Write precise, reproducible deliverables in English.

Requirements - Master’s or PhD in energy engineering, electrical or mechanical engineering, energy systems, or a closely related field. - Strong research or industry experience in energy systems, renewable technologies, power systems, energy modeling, or optimization. - Strong mathematical, quantitative, and computational skills. - Sound understanding of energy conversion, efficiency, optimization, and technical modeling. - Ability to devise challenging, original problems grounded in practical engineering workflows. - Careful attention to detail and excellent technical writing in English.

Nice to have - Experience with Python, MATLAB, HOMER, EnergyPlus, PyPSA, PLEXOS, OpenDSS, or similar modeling tools. - Familiarity with renewable integration, batteries, grid optimization, power markets, or decarbonization. - Experience building technical assessments, benchmarks, or computational energy models.

Benefits and work setup Remote, part-time contract work at about 20 hours per week. The project is expected to run for two months, with a potential extension. Compensation is listed as up to US$40 per hour.
