Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Experts (Train AI Models Part Time!)

Are you an expert in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) with deep, hands-on experience in thin-film processes? Our client is building frontier AI systems for materials science and semiconductors, and is looking for ALD specialists to help ground those models in real-world scientific expertise. This is a hands-on role that blends your deep domain knowledge in ALD and thin-film deposition with cutting-edge AI research — your expertise will directly shape how advanced models reason about materials and processes. * * * ### In this role, you'll: - Apply your ALD and thin-film expertise to design, review, and evaluate challenging scientific problems - Assess and improve AI-generated reasoning across ALD process development, precursor chemistry, and characterization - Help define and structure high-quality domain data that downstream models learn from - Collaborate with the research team to raise the scientific rigor of the models * * * ### You're a strong fit if you: - Have hands-on experience developing, optimizing, or troubleshooting ALD processes — **Must Have** - Bring deep knowledge of thin-film deposition for semiconductor or materials applications — **Must Have** - Understand precursor chemistry and surface reaction mechanisms - Have experience with materials characterization (XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, ellipsometry, etc.) - Hold an advanced degree (PhD/MS) or equivalent hands-on experience in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, or physics - Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely ### Role Details: - **Commitment:** Up to 40 hours/week (minimum 10) - **Location:** US-based - **Collaboration:** You'll work directly with the client research team
