Structural Engineer - AI Trainer

📋 Description

• • **Join the Forefront of AI Innovation in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)**
• • Handshake Technologies, Inc. is embarking on a groundbreaking initiative to advance Artificial Intelligence within the AEC industry. We are seeking experienced and detail-oriented Structural Engineers, with a strong background in FreeCAD, BIM (Building Information Modeling), and IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) standards, to contribute to our cutting-edge AI research. This unique opportunity offers flexible, hourly contract work, allowing you to leverage your specialized expertise to shape the future of computational design and digital workflows. This is not a conventional employment role; instead, it's a project-based engagement designed for professionals who want to contribute their valuable insights on a flexible basis.
• • **Your Role: Shaping AI's Understanding of AEC**
• • As a Structural Engineer AI Trainer, you will play a pivotal role in evaluating AI-generated content and providing critical feedback. Your deep understanding of parametric 3D building modeling, IFC data management, and BIM coordination will be instrumental in training AI models to better comprehend complex computational design tasks and real-world AEC workflows. You will be tasked with creating relevant tool-related questions and meticulously reviewing AI-generated responses for accuracy, relevance, and adherence to industry best practices. This is your chance to directly influence how AI interacts with and understands the intricacies of structural engineering and building design.
• • **Who We Are Looking For**
• • This opportunity is ideally suited for seasoned FreeCAD BIM/IFC users who have experience in or adjacent to roles such as:
• • Computational Designer or BIM Coordinator
• • Structural Engineer or Revit Specialist
• • BIM Facilitator or Digital Delivery Manager
• • We are particularly interested in individuals possessing solid experience in one or more of the following areas:
• • **Parametric 3D Building Modeling:** Extensive hands-on experience with FreeCAD BIM/IFC for creating and manipulating parametric models.
• • **IFC Data Management:** Proficiency in managing, validating, and understanding IFC data structures and their application in BIM workflows.
• • **BIM Coordination:** Experience in coordinating building models, managing data workflows, and understanding the interoperability of software like ArchiCAD and Revit.
• • **Model Annotation and Labeling:** Skill in annotating or labeling BIM models and AEC data assets to provide context and training data for AI.
• • **Model Review:** A keen eye for reviewing parametric models to ensure accuracy, data integrity, and design consistency according to engineering standards.
• • No prior AI development or specialized technical training is required. Your existing professional experience and domain knowledge are the core assets we seek.
• • **What You Will Be Doing**
• • Your primary responsibilities will include:
• • **Content Evaluation:** Critically assessing AI-generated outputs related to structural engineering, BIM, and IFC data.
• • **Feedback Provision:** Delivering clear, concise, and actionable feedback to improve AI model performance and understanding.
• • **Question Development:** Formulating insightful questions that probe the AI's comprehension of complex AEC scenarios and design principles.
• • **Workflow Analysis:** Applying your knowledge of real-world computational design and BIM coordination workflows to guide AI development.
• • **Adherence to Guidelines:** Following detailed written instructions and guidelines to ensure consistency and quality in your evaluations.
• • **Flexibility and Autonomy**
• • This role is designed for maximum flexibility. As an independent contractor, you have the autonomy to choose when and how much you work. The Handshake AI program operates year-round, with projects becoming available periodically across various areas of expertise. You can contribute anywhere from 5 to 20 hours per week, depending on project assignments and your availability. This makes it an excellent opportunity to supplement your current income, engage in stimulating work during downtime, or explore a new facet of the AEC industry.
• • **Work Model and Project Details**
• • **Status:** Independent contractor, offering flexibility and autonomy.
• • **Location:** Fully remote. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a desktop or laptop computer to work from anywhere in the USA.
• • **Schedule:** Flexible and asynchronous. Work on your own schedule, with no minimum hour commitment required.
• • **Duration:** Ongoing, project-based opportunities available throughout the year. Placement is contingent on current project needs and your specific skill set.
• • **Application Process**
• • Getting started is straightforward:
• • 1. Create a Handshake account.
• • 2. Upload your resume and complete identity verification.
• • 3. You will be matched with relevant projects based on your profile and expertise.
• • 4. Complete onboarding for assigned projects and begin contributing.
• • This is a unique chance to be part of an exciting AI research project, contribute your valuable engineering knowledge, and earn income flexibly. We look forward to your application!
