Nuclear & Radiological Safety Expert

About the role

We are partnered with a fast growing AI data services company that builds the training and evaluation data behind many of the world's leading AI labs and foundation model developers. They are assembling a small panel of nuclear and radiological professionals to audit how these models respond to sensitive questions in the field. The panel decides where a model should answer, where it should decline, and what a correct answer looks like. That judgment carries directly into how the models behave for every reactor engineer, health physicist, regulator and student who asks them a nuclear question. They operate remotely across time zones and build these panels around people who are actively practicing in the discipline.

Responsibilities

• Review user requests in the nuclear and radiological domain and classify each as benign, dual use or adversarial
• Assess the responses three different models gave to the same request, marking each as safe or unsafe and documenting the reasoning
• Rank the three responses against one another on accuracy, safety framing and usefulness
• Write the reference answer the model should have given
• For dual use requests, document what makes the request sensitive, what legitimate purpose it serves, and who should be able to receive an answer
• Identify legitimate professional questions that models wrongly refuse, which carry the same weight as identifying dangerous content
• Detect incorrect physics, wrong units or activity figures, misleading risk statements and unsupported technical conclusions
• Apply project rubrics consistently and provide clear written rationale for every judgment
• Escalate ambiguous or high risk cases according to project guidelines
