Process Engineer
About this role
Overview Handshake is looking for process and refinery engineering professionals to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with process simulation, refinery planning, and chemical engineering workflows to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand real-world process engineering practices. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment. Details - This project involves independently producing expert-level analytical work and data outputs using the tools and workflows from your professional practice. You will be asked to complete real work tasks — such as building price forecast models or developing PPA documentation — in a structured, project-based format. - Fully remote with a flexible, asynchronous schedule and no minimum hour requirement; most contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when participating in an active project. - Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available. Qualifications - At least 2 years of professional experience in process or refinery engineering, in roles such as: - Process Engineer or Refinery Engineer - Process Simulation Engineer or Refinery Planning Engineer - LP Modeler or Refinery Optimization Engineer - Or equivalent roles in the energy or chemical industry - Hands-on experience with one or more of the following tools: - Aspen - Haverly GRTMPS - SuperPro Designer - AVEVA PI - Bachelor's degree or higher required - Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and asynchronously.
