About this role
Alignerr is a company focused on advancing AI technologies in environmental engineering. They are seeking environmental engineers to train and evaluate AI models on complex topics such as wastewater treatment and air quality management, ensuring the systems are reliable and effective for real-world applications.
Responsibilities:
- Design Challenging Problems — Develop advanced technical problems spanning contaminant transport, mass balance in treatment plants, hydrology, pollutant dispersion, and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
- Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step solutions — including chemical dosage calculations, hydraulic flow models, and remediation plans — that serve as benchmark responses for AI training
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated environmental impact statements, remediation plans, and engineering calculations for technical accuracy, regulatory compliance (EPA, ISO 14001), and safety
- Improve AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors in AI outputs — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed hydraulic assumptions, or overlooked secondary environmental impacts — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
- Work Asynchronously — Complete tasks independently on a schedule that fits your life
Requirements:
- Advanced Degree in Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering (with environmental focus), or a closely related field — Masters (pursuing or completed) or PhD
- Strong Domain Knowledge in one or more areas: aquatic chemistry, wastewater process design, air quality engineering, solid/hazardous waste management, or environmental remediation
- Precise and Detail-Oriented — Comfortable checking unit conversions, chemical equations, and regulatory logic with a high degree of accuracy
- Clear Technical Writer — Able to explain complex engineering and ecological concepts in structured, well-reasoned written form
- No prior AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed
- Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with environmental modeling software (e.g., AERMOD, SWMM, MODFLOW)
- Background in EHS compliance or environmental consulting
