AI Engineer Design Specialist (Remote)
Role OverviewCodeByte is looking for experienced engineers with deep design expertise to create challenging, simulation-based design problems for training and evaluating advanced AI models. The role focuses on crafting realistic engineering design tasks where a model must make genuine trade-offs, size components, and iterate against physics-based simulators to meet competing specifications.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and validate simulation-based engineering problems that require true design reasoning, with clear constraints and optimization goals.Deliver complete problem sets including reference solutions, near-miss variants, edge cases, and documentation.Ensure appropriate difficulty with multiple failure modes, and collaborate with researchers to refine problems based on model performance.Required Skills and QualificationsMaster's or PhD in a relevant engineering/applied science field.3+ years of hands-on engineering design experience, producing validated designs from competing specs (not just analysis).Proficient in at least one open-source simulation tool relevant to the domain.Strong Python (or equivalent) scripting skills.High attention to detail across units, boundary conditions, convergence, and physical realism.Nice to HaveExperience designing engineering coursework, exam problems, or design challenges at graduate level.Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines or automated testing frameworks.Exposure to LLM evaluation, AI benchmarking, or training data curation.
