Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced embedded systems and RF engineers to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on industry experience in embedded systems, firmware, digital signal processing, or RF and wireless design to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing embedded or RF engineer.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.
What You'll Do
- Use your industry expertise to create expert-level engineering problems and scenarios grounded in real embedded, DSP, and RF design workflows
- Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with how the work is actually done
- Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
- Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement
Qualifications
Ideal candidates meet all three of the following:
- MS or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering; a BS in EE/ECE also qualifies when paired with strong industry experience
- 2+ years of hands-on embedded systems, DSP, or RF work in industry
- Depth in one or more of the following: embedded firmware, real-time systems, digital signal processing, RF and antenna design, or wireless communications
Candidates who meet these are also encouraged to apply.
- Proficiency with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, SPICE, LTspice, Altium, KiCad, or GNU Radio is a strong plus
- Strong written communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
