About Handshake AI
About Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake is looking for energy professionals to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with renewable energy modeling, microgrid design, and asset performance analysis to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand renewable energy engineering workflows and practices.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.
Details
This project involves using your professional experience and hands-on knowledge of the tools you use in your daily work to create expert-level training data and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance. No prior AI experience required.
Fully remote with a flexible, asynchronous schedule and no minimum hour requirement; most contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when participating in an active project.
Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available.

Qualifications
At least 4 years of professional experience in the energy industry, in roles such as:
Reservoir Engineer, Drilling Engineer, Production Engineer, Petrophysicist, or Reserves Analyst
Plant Performance Engineer, Reliability Engineer, Plant Operator, Control Room Operator, or Shift Supervisor
Meter Data Analyst, Meter Technician, Utility Technician, or Utility Maintenance Worker
Billing Analyst, Regulatory Analyst, FERC Reporting Analyst, or Rate Case Analyst
Renewable Generation Analyst, REC Trader, Solar Design Engineer, or Interconnection Specialist
EHS Specialist, Process Safety Engineer, NERC CIP Analyst, or Environmental Analyst
Power Market Analyst, Load Forecasting Analyst, or PPA Analyst
Electrician, Electrical Technician, or Field Service Technician working in utility or industrial settings Hands-on experience with workflows common to the energy industry, such as reservoir simulation, AFE preparation, meter data validation, load forecasting, emissions reporting, predictive maintenance, regulatory rate case filing, or renewable generation forecasting
Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
