About the role

Bring senior space systems expertise to AI evaluation projects focused on orbital mechanics, spacecraft subsystems, mission assurance, and ground operations. Review model responses and worked examples for incorrect system assumptions, missing operational constraints, and unsupported analytic confidence. Assess whether the reasoning meets professional standards for the stated task. Write reference answers and scoring criteria grounded in orbital mechanics, spacecraft subsystems, mission assurance, and ground operations. Explain consequential errors, evidence gaps, and the reasoning behind your corrections. This is remote, project-based contract work. Scope, hours, and assignments depend on project matching; the listed hourly range applies to matched work.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of substantive experience in space systems engineering.
  • Demonstrated senior-level judgment in orbital mechanics, spacecraft subsystems, mission assurance, and ground operations, with substantial responsibility for reviewing or delivering this work.
  • Ability to write precise reference answers, assess competing approaches, and justify corrections with traceable evidence.
