The role, as Handshake AI describes it

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for experienced robotics engineers to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on experience in control systems, motion planning, or robotic systems design to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing robotics engineer.

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

What You'll Do

• Use your domain expertise to create expert-level robotics problems and scenarios grounded in real system design, sim-to-real workflows, and field deployment

• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, feasibility, and alignment with how the work is actually done

Read the rest of the description (19 more paragraphs)

• 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

Ideal candidates meet all three of the following:

• Industry/research experience — has shipped real robotic systems or published research, and can build a full sim-to-solution task end to end

• Degree — MS or PhD in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science with a robotics focus. Senior industry robotics engineers without an advanced degree also qualify

• Sub-domain depth — demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas:

• ROS/ROS2 and control theory

• Motion planning, kinematics/dynamics, and sensor fusion

• SLAM and simulation (Gazebo, MuJoCo, Isaac Sim)

Candidates who meet at least 2 of the 3 qualifications above are also encouraged to apply.

Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)

• Proficiency across the full robotics stack — ROS/ROS2, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or Isaac Sim

• Experience shipping robotic systems to production or publishing in robotics venues

Required for all applicants

• Must have US work authorization

• Strong written communication and attention to detail

• Ability to explain complex robotics concepts clearly

• Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
