About this role

From the SME Careers listing

If you are an electrical engineer who thrives on technical precision, applied problem-solving, and rigorous reasoning across circuits, power, and systems, this is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to how the next generation of AI systems understand and communicate complex electrical engineering concepts. We are looking for electrical engineering specialists who can evaluate, challenge, and refine advanced language models on domain-specific topics. Your expertise as an Electrical Engineer will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models—and play an important role in shaping the future of AI. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs.

Key responsibilities

  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, logical soundness, completeness, and clarity across electrical engineering topics.
  • Challenge advanced language models with realistic electrical engineering scenarios, calculations, and standards-informed reasoning tasks.
  • Review and refine AI-generated prompts, model responses, explanations, and step-by-step solutions (including correct math, units, and assumptions).
  • Provide structured feedback that identifies factual errors, unsafe recommendations, missing constraints, invalid assumptions, incorrect modeling, or incomplete reasoning.
  • Assess model performance on topics such as: Circuit design/analysis, Power systems, Power electronics, Controls, Embedded & digital, EMI/EMC & safety, Test & troubleshooting
  • Help shape AI communication standards for technical EE content, including how models explain assumptions, limits, safety concerns, and professional judgment.
  • Ensure AI-generated content reflects responsible engineering practice—especially around electrical safety, compliance, and real-world feasibility.

Your profile

  • 4+ years of professional electrical engineering experience, with significant hands-on work in one or more areas such as power systems, power electronics, industrial controls, embedded systems, analog/digital circuit design, RF/communications, signal processing, instrumentation, automation, electronics manufacturing/test, or a closely related specialty.
  • Deep knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals, including circuit analysis, electronics, electromagnetics, signals & systems, control fundamentals, and safe engineering practices (grounding, isolation, protection, EMC/EMI).
  • Strong comfort with engineering calculations, assumptions, constraints, unit consistency, and defensible reasoning (including limitations and safety considerations).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or closely related) required; Master’s/PhD, PE/Chartered, or advanced professional certifications strongly preferred.
  • Previous experience with AI data training, annotation, red-teaming, or evaluating AI-generated technical content is a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with tools/artifacts such as schematics, SPICE simulation, MATLAB/Simulink, PCB design, oscilloscopes/logic analyzers, power studies, or test reports is a plus.

🌍 Geographic Availability This role is available to qualified experts globally. However, as a U.S.-based company, SME Careers complies with U.S. export control and sanctions regulations. Eligibility depends on your country of residence and any applicable trade restrictions. Some projects may have additional language or region-specific requirements.

💰 Pay Rate May Vary Based on Your Location Your actual compensation will be determined based on your location and local market conditions. See regional job listings for localized pay information, or the application process will clarify your specific rate.

If you're unsure whether you're eligible, proceed with the application—SME's screening will determine your jurisdiction status and applicable compensation.

How long hiring takes

Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for this one.

Why this role

This Electrical Engineer role pays $100/hr to review AI-generated content on circuits, power systems, and electromagnetics. SME Careers wants four or more years of hands-on experience in power systems, power electronics, or industrial controls, with a Bachelor's in electrical engineering required and a PE license or advanced degree preferred. The job specifically checks unit consistency and defensible engineering assumptions, beyond whether an answer sounds technically fluent.

Common questions

Does SME Careers offer a path for advancement?

Yes. SME Careers is unusual among AI training platforms for this: it publishes an explicit career ladder, Data Trainer, then Quality Analyst, then QA Lead, then Project Manager. Consistent, high-quality work is what moves you up it.

How does SME Careers pay freelancers?

Weekly, through Deel. Deel also handles tax compliance, which is how SME Careers pays contractors across more than 40 countries without running its own international payroll.

Why do these AI training roles pay so much?

Because general knowledge isn't what's being tested. The model already knows the basics; what it needs is expertise on edge cases, the rare, difficult, highly technical judgment calls only a senior professional in the field would make correctly.

What does the day-to-day workload look like for elite-expert AI training roles?

Slow and deep, not fast and repetitive. A single task can take 45-60 minutes of researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is what's being measured here, not throughput.

What does STEM work look like for an Electrical Engineer?

Tasks here are scoped to STEM, not generic labeling. As an Electrical Engineer, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to STEM) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on STEM background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

AI Training is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.

How much does this specific role pay?

This listing is posted at $100/hr, a per-task rate. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to SME Careers's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.

Is a PhD required?

For this specific role, yes, or near-equivalent professional depth. The credential gate is enforced at the assessment stage, not just on paper. That said, active PhD candidates and people with equivalent published research have qualified without a formal degree. The assessment is the real filter.

Who is behind SME Careers?

SME Careers is the expert talent division of SuperAnnotate, an AI data infrastructure platform, connecting domain experts with high-level AI training projects.
