Nuclear Engineer - AI Trainer (Contract)

Overview

Handshake is recruiting Nuclear Engineer Professionals to contribute to an hourly, temporary AI research project—but there’s no AI experience needed. In this program, you’ll leverage your professional experience to evaluate what AI models produce in your field, assess content related to your field of work, and deliver clear, structured feedback that strengthens the model’s understanding of your workplace tasks and language. The Handshake AI opportunity runs year-round, with project opportunities opening periodically across different areas of expertise.

Details

• The position is remote and asynchronous; work independently from wherever you are.

• The hours are flexible, with no minimum commitment, but most average 5-20 hrs

• The work includes developing prompts for AI models that reflect your field, and then evaluating responses.

• You’ll learn new skills and contribute to how AI is used in your field

• Your placement into a project will be dependent on project availability—if you apply now and can’t work on this project, more will be available soon.

Qualifications

• You have at least 4 years of professional experience in one or more of the following types of work.

• The examples below reflect the types of real-world responsibilities that you might have had in your role that will give you the context needed to evaluate and train high-quality AI models

  • Design or develop nuclear equipment, such as reactor cores, radiation shielding, or associated instrumentation or control mechanisms.

  • Monitor nuclear facility operations to identify design, construction, or operation practices that violate safety regulations or could jeopardize safe operations.

  • Initiate corrective actions or order plant shutdowns in emergency situations.

  • Examine accidents to obtain data for designing preventive measures.

  • Direct operating or maintenance activities of nuclear power plants to ensure efficiency and compliance with safety standards.

  • Design or oversee construction or operation of nuclear reactors, power plants, or nuclear fuels reprocessing and reclamation systems.

  • Direct environmental compliance activities associated with nuclear plant operations or maintenance.

  • Write operational instructions for nuclear plant operation or nuclear fuel or waste handling and disposal.

  • Prepare technical reports of findings or recommendations based on synthesized analyses of test results.

  • Prepare environmental impact statements, reports, or presentations for regulatory or other agencies.

  • Develop or contribute to plans for remediating or restoring environments affected by nuclear radiation, such as waste disposal sites.

  • Conduct tests of nuclear fuel behavior and cycles or performance of nuclear machinery and equipment to optimize existing plant performance.

  • Design fuel cycle models or processes to reduce the quantity of radioactive waste generated from nuclear activities.

  • Consult with other scientists to determine parameters of experimentation or suitability of analytical models.

  • Recommend preventive measures in handling nuclear technology based on operations monitoring data or evaluation of test results.

  • Discuss construction project proposals with vendors, contractors, or nuclear facility review boards.

  • Perform experiments to determine acceptable methods of nuclear material usage, nuclear fuel reclamation, or waste disposal.

  • Conduct environmental studies related to nuclear power generation, nuclear waste disposal, or nuclear weapon deployment.

  • Design or direct nuclear research projects to develop, test, modify, or discover new uses for theoretical models.

  • Keep abreast of developments in the nuclear field by reading technical journals or engaging in independent study and research.

• You’re able to participate in asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs.
