What you will do

  • Review engineering tasks comprehensively, including problem statements, models, load cases, simulation data, computational environments, reference solutions, and automated tests.
  • Validate tasks in areas such as structural analysis, finite-element analysis, earthquake and wind engineering, structural dynamics, geotechnical modeling, hydraulics, hydrology, transportation, and infrastructure systems.
  • Ensure tasks require complex, multi-step engineering reasoning and reflect real-world civil and structural engineering workflows.
  • Verify technical accuracy regarding units, equilibrium, boundary conditions, load combinations, design codes, numerical stability, convergence, and safety factors.
  • Validate computational models, solvers, dependencies, and simulation outputs for accuracy and reproducibility.
  • Review automated graders to confirm they assess meaningful engineering outputs like forces, deflections, drifts, settlements, safety factors, flow rates, and structural performance.
  • Provide technical feedback, track task revisions, mentor 5–10 trainers, allocate work, monitor quality and productivity, and resolve technical issues.

Requirements

  • Hold a PhD, postdoctoral experience, or equivalent advanced expertise in Civil, Structural, Geotechnical Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Possess strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, Julia, Fortran, or MATLAB/Octave.
  • Be proficient in Linux and command-line environments.
  • Have hands-on experience in at least one key area such as structural analysis, finite-element analysis, earthquake engineering, geotechnical modeling, or hydraulic/hydrological modeling.
  • Understand engineering principles, numerical methods, simulation workflows, and computational model validation.
  • Have working knowledge of engineering design standards like ASCE 7, ACI, AISC, Eurocodes, or IS codes.
  • Have experience reviewing complex technical work, simulations, research outputs, or computational models.
  • Demonstrate strong analytical judgment to identify engineering inaccuracies and flawed assumptions.
  • Have experience mentoring, reviewing, or leading small technical teams.
  • Possess excellent written communication skills for providing technical feedback and documentation.
