Power Systems Engineer

Overview

Handshake is looking for power systems and T&D 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 power systems analysis, grid planning, and industrial controls to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand power systems workflows and engineering practices.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.

Details

• This project involves using your professional experience and hands-on knowledge of the tools you use in your daily work to create expert-level training data and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance. No prior AI experience required.

• 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 power systems engineering, T&D planning, or industrial controls, in roles such as:
• Distribution or Transmission Planning Engineer
