Aerospace Engineer Expert

Pay: $115/hour

Aerospace engineers to build the design and analysis scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment.

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring aerospace engineers as contractors to author and grade the design and analysis scenarios those evaluations run on.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic aerospace scenarios, from requirements through design review
• Write reference answers with the engineering reasoning behind each decision
• Grade model output for technical accuracy and standards compliance
• Flag designs that read plausible but would fail in flight

Who this is for

• Engineers with a degree in aerospace engineering or a closely related field
• Practitioners with at least 2 years of professional aerospace engineering experience
• Engineers with depth in at least one area such as aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, or GNC
• Clear writers who can document the reasoning behind an engineering decision

Contract and pay

• $100 to $130/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.
• Remote, fully async. No fixed hours.
• Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.
