Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer - AI Trainer

Opportunity Overview

​

Handshake is looking for skilled ParaView users to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with scientific visualization, fluid dynamics simulation, or large dataset analysis to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand computational science tasks and HPC workflows.

​

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.

​

Who This Is For

​

This is a good fit if you're an experienced ParaView user who has worked in or around roles like:

​

• Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer or Research Scientist
• Aerospace Engineer or Applied Mathematician
• HPC Specialist or Computational Scientist

​

You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:

​

• Scientific visualization, CFD post-processing, or large dataset analysis using ParaView
• Fluid dynamics simulation, VTK workflows, or HPC data pipelines
• Annotating or labeling simulation outputs and scientific datasets
• Reviewing visualization results for accuracy, performance, or scientific consistency

​

What You'll Do

​

You'll use your experience with ParaView to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world CFD and scientific visualization workflows.

​

No prior AI or technical experience is required.

​

Qualifications

​

We're looking for people who have:

​

• At least 3+ years of hands-on experience withParaView, whether through professional work or freelance projects
• A working knowledge of CFD post-processing, scientific visualization concepts, and HPC workflows
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
• The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines

​

Application Process

​

• Create a Handshake account
• Upload your resume and verify your identity
• Get matched and onboarded into relevant projects
• Start working and earning

​

Work Model and Project Details

​

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)
• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer
• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
