Destinare Services is looking for a experienced Civil or Structural Engineering expert to lead a pod of trainers building realistic, terminal-based technical tasks for Terminal Bench Science. You will review every task your trainers produce for engineering correctness, reproducibility, and grader reliability, and coach trainers to consistently deliver high-quality tasks.
Key Responsibilities
● Review engineering tasks end to end, including problem statements, structural and geotechnical models, load cases, simulation data, computational environments, reference solutions, and automated tests.
● Validate tasks involving structural analysis, finite-element methods (FEA), earthquake and wind engineering, structural dynamics, geotechnical modeling, hydraulics, hydrology, transportation, and infrastructure systems.
● Ensure tasks require genuine multi-step engineering reasoning and reflect realistic civil and structural engineering workflows.
● Verify engineering accuracy across units, equilibrium, boundary conditions, load combinations, design codes, numerical stability, convergence, and safety factors.
● Validate computational models, solvers, dependencies, and simulation results for reproducibility and technical correctness.
● Review automated graders to ensure they evaluate meaningful engineering outputs such as forces, deflections, drifts, settlements, factors of safety, flow rates, and structural performance.
● Identify technical errors, unrealistic assumptions, incorrect tolerances, and opportunities to bypass engineering analysis.
● Provide clear, actionable feedback to task developers and track revisions through completion.
● Mentor and support technical trainers, allocate work, monitor quality and productivity, and resolve technical blockers.
● Maintain quality standards, technical documentation, and best practices across engineering task development.
Required Qualifications
● Ph.D., postdoctoral experience, or equivalent advanced technical experience in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
● Strong programming experience in Python, C/C++, Julia, Fortran, or MATLAB/Octave, with proficiency in Linux environments.
● Hands-on expertise in at least one major area: structural analysis, FEA, earthquake engineering, geotechnical modeling, or hydraulic/hydrological modeling.
● Strong understanding of engineering principles, numerical methods, simulation workflows, and model validation.
● Working knowledge of engineering design standards such as ASCE 7, ACI, AISC, Eurocodes, or IS codes.
● Experience reviewing complex technical work, engineering simulations, research outputs, or computational models.
● Strong analytical judgment with the ability to identify technical inaccuracies, edge cases, and flawed engineering assumptions.
● Experience mentoring, reviewing,
or leading small technical teams.
● Excellent written communication skills for providing precise technical feedback and documenting quality standards.
Nice to have:
● Experience with engineering simulation and analysis tools such as OpenSees/OpenSeesPy, Code_Aster, CalculiX, FEniCS, Gmsh, PyNite, EPANET, SWMM, HEC-RAS, MODFLOW, SUMO, QGIS, or GDAL.
● Familiarity with commercial engineering software such as SAP2000, ETABS, Abaqus, PLAXIS, or STAAD.Pro.
● Experience with nonlinear time-history analysis, performance-based design, reliability analysis, or structural health monitoring.
● Familiarity with Docker, Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.
● Experience developing or evaluating AI coding agents, terminal-based agents, or LLM-generated engineering solutions.
● Skilled engineering licensure such as PE, SE, CEng, or equivalent.
● Industry experience working on buildings, bridges, transportation networks, water systems, or major infrastructure projects.
● Prior experience in AI training, technical quality control, benchmark development, or evaluation programs.
