🌍Materials Science Expert, Remote- Contract
Core
Designing and validating complex technical problems in materials science where textbook answers are insufficient, defining objective criteria for correctness, and reviewing contributions for technical accuracy.
Role type
Principal-level contract materials science expert (problem design & validation)
Builds
Challenging technical problems with realistic constraints and supporting data for AI/LLM evaluation or expert assessment
Domain
Materials science (structure-property relationships, processing, characterization, failure analysis, computational materials)
Deliverable
production ML models
Required skills
Deep technical depth in a materials subdomain, engineering judgment under constraints, ability to define objective criteria for correctness, technical review and validation, clear technical communication
Preferred skills
Publications, patents, or record of technical leadership, AI or LLM evaluation experience
Technologies
Computational materials, AI/LLM evaluation frameworks
Responsibilities
Design difficult technical problems from own area with realistic constraints, provide correct solutions and reasoning, define objective criteria for correctness, review problems built by others for accuracy, flag ambiguous or ungradable problems
