Electrical Engineering Expert (Canada)
About this role
Opportunity Overview Handshake is looking for experienced electrical and computer engineers to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on industry experience in power systems, semiconductors, or embedded/RF design to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing engineer. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role. What You'll Do - Use your industry expertise to create expert-level engineering problems and scenarios grounded in real design, test, and field work - Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with how the work is actually done - Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance - Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement Qualifications Ideal candidates meet all three of the following: - Industry experience — 2+ years of hands-on EE work in industry - Degree — MS or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering. A BS in EE also qualifies when paired with strong industry experience - Sub-domain depth — demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas: - Power systems, microgrids, or high-voltage engineering - Semiconductors, chip design, or EDA - Embedded systems, DSP, or RF Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application) - Proficiency with industry tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SPICE, PSCAD, ETAP, PSS®E, Cadence, Synopsys, Altium, KiCad, Verilog/SystemVerilog, or comparable EDA and simulation environments - Experience at a recognized EE/hardware employer (e.g. Qualcomm, TI, Intel, NVIDIA, GE, Siemens) Required for all applicants - Have Canadian work authorization - Strong written communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
