Materials Science Expert

RemoteContractor$85–$93 per hour (USD)

What you'll do

Author, review, and annotate technical tasks used to evaluate AI model performance on materials science problems. Tasks involve producing original problem sets grounded in phase diagrams, micrographs, stress-strain curves, and characterization data; writing reference solutions; and applying structured quality checks.

  • Who we're looking for
  • PhD in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or a related engineering field, or MS in Materials Science with 3+ years of applied research or industry experience, or BS in Materials Engineering with 5+ years of lab, characterization, or process experience
  • Working fluency in at least two of: phase equilibria, mechanical behavior, crystallography, polymers, or characterization (XRD, SEM, TEM)
  • Comfortable interpreting micrographs, diffraction patterns, and property charts
  • Publication record or industry R&D track is a plus and accelerates promotion

Compensation

Starting rate $85/hr. Strong contributors have the opportunity to be promoted based on task quality and throughput.

Commitment

Part-time, ~20 hrs/week, flexible schedule. Fully remote. Hourly.
