Remote Nuclear Engineering AI Trainer Jobs

Nuclear engineers and nuclear physicists are a scarce, high-value review pool for AI labs. These roles involve reactor systems and thermal-hydraulics evaluation, nuclear and particle physics problem review, radiological safety assessment, and fuel cycle and shielding calculations. You will check whether AI-generated nuclear engineering reasoning is physically correct and safety-sound, not just plausible. Ideal for Nuclear Engineers, Reactor Operators, and Nuclear/Particle Physics PhDs. Pay: $70-$80/hr.

What to Expect

Nuclear engineering evaluation tasks are highly specialized and among the most stringently reviewed on the platform. You'll assess AI understanding of reactor physics (neutron flux, criticality calculations, reactivity coefficients), radiation shielding design, nuclear fuel cycle processes, and nuclear safety systems. Tasks frequently involve evaluating whether AI safety analyses correctly apply defense-in-depth principles or whether radiation dose calculations use correct attenuation models. AI nuclear engineering outputs often contain plausible-sounding errors in neutron cross-section applications or thermal-hydraulic assumptions that only domain experts catch. Formal education in nuclear engineering (BS minimum, MS or PhD preferred) combined with industry or research experience is required. NRC licensing knowledge is a strong advantage for regulatory compliance tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as the physics page's nuclear physics track?

They overlap but aren't identical. Mercor's nuclear physics track skews academic (particle physics, nuclear structure theory); this page also covers applied, reactor-side work: thermal-hydraulics, fuel cycle, shielding, and radiological safety.

Do I need reactor operator certification?

Not for most roles. A nuclear engineering degree or nuclear/particle physics PhD is the more common bar. Reactor operator licensure helps for the applied safety and operations tracks specifically.

How many roles are typically open at once?

Fewer than general engineering or physics tracks. Nuclear is a narrow specialty, so expect a handful of open seats across platforms rather than a large standing bench. Check back regularly rather than expecting continuous openings.

How many Nuclear Engineering AI training jobs are open right now?

This page is showing 12 listings, sourced from 4 platforms: Mercor (7), Meridial (3), SME Careers (1) and Handshake (1). The most recent one was picked up 18 days ago. The count moves as platforms post and close roles, so treat it as a snapshot of today rather than a fixed figure.

What do Nuclear Engineering AI training jobs pay?

Most sit between $70 and $80 an hour, with a median of $70, measured across the 11 listings on this page that quote an hourly rate. The highest rate currently posted here is $100 an hour. These are the figures the platforms published, not our estimates, and the rate you are offered depends on how you do in that platform's assessment.

Which platforms hire for Nuclear Engineering work?

Mercor (7), Meridial (3), SME Careers (1) and Handshake (1). No single one dominates this category, so it is worth holding accounts on more than one. Most contracts allow you to work through several platforms at the same time.

What kind of work do these Nuclear Engineering listings involve?

The roles here fall across 3 areas, led by STEM (10), Healthcare (1) and Software Engineering (1). Each listing spells out its own task type, so read the individual page before applying.

How often are new Nuclear Engineering jobs added?

6 of these listings first appeared in the last 30 days, out of 12 live now. We rescrape the source platforms daily, so a page you checked last week will not be the same page today.
