Chemical Engineer – AI Model Evaluation Specialist

About the role

We are seeking a Chemical Engineer to help improve advanced language models by evaluating and refining AI‑generated content on chemical engineering topics. You will work with SME Careers, an AI data‑services company, providing expert feedback that shapes how AI systems communicate complex engineering concepts.

Key responsibilities

• Assess AI‑generated responses for technical accuracy, logical soundness, completeness and clarity across chemical engineering domains.
• Challenge language models with realistic scenarios, calculations, and process‑based reasoning tasks.
• Review and refine prompts, model explanations and step‑by‑step engineering solutions.
• Provide structured feedback identifying factual errors, unsafe recommendations, unit inconsistencies, missing constraints or incomplete reasoning.
• Evaluate model performance on material and energy balances, thermodynamic property use, unit operations sizing, distillation and separation design, process control, safety, scale‑up and operability.
• Help define communication standards for technical chemical engineering content, including escalation guidelines to licensed engineers.

Required profile

• Minimum 4 years of professional chemical engineering experience in process design, plant operations, safety, scale‑up, manufacturing, utilities, EHS, quality, R&D or related specialties.
• Deep understanding of core chemical engineering fundamentals and ability to perform engineering calculations and assumptions.

Required skills

• Material and energy balances
• Thermodynamics and phase‑behavior analysis
• Fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer
• Reaction engineering
• Separations (distillation, absorption, extraction, membranes)
• Unit operations and sizing
• Process control concepts
• Engineering calculations and safety considerations
