Renewable Energy Engineer

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for experienced renewable energy and microgrid engineering professionals to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on expertise in renewable energy modeling, microgrid design, and asset performance analysis to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand real-world renewable energy engineering workflows.

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

What You'll Do

• Use your domain expertise to create expert-level training questions and scenarios based on real renewable energy and microgrid engineering workflows
• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world renewable energy modeling and design practices
• 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

• 2+ years of professional experience in renewable energy engineering, microgrid design, or asset performance, in a role such as Microgrid Engineer, Renewable Energy Engineer, Solar Engineer, or Digital Twin Engineer
• Hands-on experience with one or more of the following: HOMER Pro, SAM, or GE Digital Twin
• Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
