Use your hands-on experience in electrical power engineering to write research-level problems for AI models. Remote, flexible contract work. AfterQuery works with leading AI labs to build the expert data that tests and trains AI models. We're looking for power systems and protection engineers who work with real relay records and test data: the relay records, commissioning tests and meter data you work from on substations, generators and drives. Requirements Technical: Working knowledge of Python (MATLAB is a plus) for analyzing fault records and test data. Work authorization: Must be able to work as an independent contractor without visa sponsorship. Students on F-1 visas (including OPT/CPT) are not eligible. Preferred Background: 3 or more years at a utility, grid operator, equipment manufacturer or testing contractor, with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in electrical engineering. Hands-on work with real data, rather than building or installation electrical design, or PCB design only. Contract and pay Flexible, independent-contractor work: $300 per approved task, about 6 hours each (roughly $50 per hour), with no cap on how many tasks you take on. All accepted experts undergo standard background and identity verification.

AfterQuery is a Y Combinator-backed company that produces expert data for frontier AI labs. It hires professionals and specialists to build hard evaluation problems, write gold-standard answers and review model reasoning.
