Engineering Design Specialist (Simulation-Based Systems)

About Us

Gramian Consultancy is a boutique consultancy specializing in IT professional services and engineering talent solutions. With a strong background in software engineering and leadership, we help companies build high-performing teams by matching them with professionals who truly fit their needs.

Role Overview

We are looking for Engineering Design Specialists (e.g., electrical, mechanical, robotics, etc) to create simulation-based design challenges used to train and evaluate advanced AI systems.

This role goes beyond analysis — it focuses on true engineering design thinking , where problems require trade-offs, iterative reasoning, and validation against physics-based simulations under real-world constraints.

Commitments Required

8 hours per day with an overlap of 4 hours with PST.

Employment Type

Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave)

Duration of Contract

5+ months

Location

Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, Vietnam

Interview

Take home assessment (60min) + short interview

Your Daily Responsibilities

Design realistic, simulation-driven engineering problems with clear constraints and optimization goals

Develop complete problem sets including: Reference solutions, Edge cases and failure modes, Near-miss variants

Ensure problems reflect real-world engineering complexity, including competing requirements and design trade-offs

Validate correctness and physical realism (units, boundary conditions, convergence, feasibility)

Collaborate with research teams to refine problem quality based on model performance

Continuously improve problem difficulty and diversity across scenarios

Domain Expertise (at least one required)

Electrical & Computer Engineering — analog/mixed-signal, power electronics, RF, FPGA/ASIC, embedded systems

Mechanical Engineering — thermal/fluids, structures, dynamics, HVAC, manufacturing

Chemical Engineering — reactors, separations, process optimization, thermochemistry

Control Systems — feedback systems, state estimation, nonlinear/robust control

Materials / Nano — materials selection, microstructure design, nanoscale systems

Engineering Physics / Optics — photonics, lasers, wave propagation

Aerospace Engineering — aerodynamics, propulsion, flight dynamics

Civil / Structural Engineering — structural design, geotechnical, seismic/wind loads

Nuclear / Energy — reactor systems, thermal-hydraulics, energy systems

Systems Engineering — system architecture, trade studies, integration

Robotics — kinematics, motion planning, mechatronics

Requirements

Master's or PhD in Engineering or Applied Science

3+ years of hands‑on engineering design experience (not purely analytical roles)

Proven ability to design systems under competing constraints and specifications

Experience with at least one simulation tool relevant to your domain

Strong Python (or equivalent scripting) skills

High attention to detail and engineering rigor

Nice to Have

Experience designing academic or industry-level engineering challenges

Exposure to AI/LLM evaluation or benchmarking

Familiarity with CI/CD or automated validation pipelines

Cross-domain experience (e.g., control systems, robotics, energy systems)
