Job Description
Job Title: Chemical Engineering Quality Assurance Lead
Job Type: Contract
Location: Remote
About This Role
In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Chemical Engineering Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across chemical engineering AI training projects. You will review AI-generated chemical engineering content and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure that all contributors follow the expected quality standards. You will assess work for technical accuracy, engineering reasoning, calculation correctness, unit consistency, process safety awareness, standards awareness, clarity, formatting, instruction-following, and adherence to project-specific rubrics. You will spot recurring quality issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently. This role requires strong chemical engineering expertise, strong English communication skills, excellent attention to detail, structured communication, and the ability to manage quality workflows across remote technical teams. This role is a fast-growing AI Data Services company delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your chemical engineering quality leadership will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models by ensuring that engineering training data is accurate, logically sound, clearly explained, well-documented, and aligned with client expectations. Important: There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.
Your profile
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, or a closely related engineering field. Strong grasp of the English language to follow project guidelines, communicate with teams, and provide clear technical feedback in English. 3+ years of professional experience in chemical engineering, process engineering, plant operations, process design, R&D, manufacturing, process safety, technical review, engineering education, or related workflows. Strong understanding of core chemical engineering topics such as mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer, reaction engineering, separation processes, process control, transport phenomena, and process design. Ability to evaluate engineering content against detailed rubrics and identify issues such as incorrect assumptions, flawed calculations, missing units, unsafe recommendations, incomplete mass/energy balances, hallucinated standards, or incomplete explanations. Familiarity with common chemical engineering tools or workflows such as Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS, MATLAB, Python, CHEMCAD, COMSOL, process simulators, PFDs, P&IDs, Excel modeling, or process safety documentation is preferred. Experience leading or supporting remote teams of trainers, annotators, reviewers, engineers, technical writers, or QAs is strongly preferred. Comfortable working in fast-moving remote environments using tools such as Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, and project management systems. Highly detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to maintain style guides, FAQs, trackers, onboarding materials, honeypots, calibration tasks, and other quality documentation. Experience with AI training, data annotation, large language models, prompt/response evaluation, technical content QA, or rubric-based LLM evaluation is a strong plus.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Quality monitoring: Spot-check chemical engineering items, identify quality issues, provide ongoing feedback through DMs, and escalate recurring or critical issues. Technical review: Evaluate AI-generated engineering explanations, process calculations, mass/energy balances, reaction engineering solutions, separation process reasoning, process-control explanations, diagrams/descriptions, and problem-solving workflows for correctness and clarity. Trainer and QA communication: Update trainers and QAs on Discord about new item guidelines, project changes, workflow updates, quality expectations, and chemical-engineering-specific review standards. Question handling: Respond to trainer/QA questions clearly and promptly, especially around engineering assumptions, units, formulas, balances, reaction conditions, process constraints, safety concerns, standards references, and rubric interpretation. Trainer/QA activation management: DM contributors who are inactive or not working, encourage activation, track follow-ups, and flag availability issues when needed. Documentation: Create and maintain chemical engineering project documentation, including style guides, trackers, FAQs, quality notes, examples, honeypots, calibration tasks, and onboarding materials. Onboarding and training: Schedule and run onboarding/training calls with trainers and QAs to explain project expectations, workflows, rubrics, quality standards, and chemical-engineering-specific review requirements. Quality alignment: Ensure all trainers and QAs apply engineering guidelines consistently and understand updates as projects evolve. Risk and safety review: Flag unsafe, misleading, or overconfident engineering recommendations, especially where chemicals, process conditions, reactions, plant operations, pressure systems, thermal hazards, environmental impact, or worker safety may be affected. Process improvement: Identify recurring quality gaps, propose workflow improvements, and help build scalable QA processes for chemical engineering AI training projects.
