Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for experienced process and refinery engineering professionals to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on expertise in process simulation, refinery planning, and chemical engineering to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand real-world process engineering workflows.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current work.

What You'll Do

• Use your domain expertise to create expert-level training questions and scenarios based on real process and refinery engineering workflows
• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world process simulation and refinery planning practices
• Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
• Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience in process or refinery engineering, in a role such as Process Engineer, Refinery Engineer, Process Simulation Engineer, LP Modeler, or Refinery Optimization Engineer
• Hands-on experience with one or more of the following: Aspen, Haverly GRTMPS, SuperPro Designer, or AVEVA PI
• Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
