AI Instructor – AI for engineers (Remote, Sub-Saharan Africa)

What the work is for

YPAI Learn teaches AI for the work of each profession in live classes. Your classes take engineers from an invented machine to a failure mode and effects analysis, and from a supplier submittal to a clause-by-clause comparison with the project specification, and teach them to check units, standards and references.

The work

• Teach the live class “Draft an FMEA with AI and challenge every failure mode it lists”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Compare a supplier submittal with the project specification using AI”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how to give AI an invented pump or conveyor description and ask for failure modes, causes and controls, then rate severity, occurrence and detection as a team.
• Walk learners through a made-up submittal review: list where the product data departs from the specification clause by clause, and confirm each point in the documents.
• Help engineers when the AI gets units, standard clauses or editions wrong, and show why calculations and sign-off stay with the engineer.

What to expect

• Classes are live and online, taught in English to engineers in many countries, and you can also list in the application the other languages you teach in.
• The kit per class brings a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo on an invented machine or project, and a backup recording of the demo.
• From your own computer you teach remotely, over a stable connection with camera and microphone, with the class’s sample drawings and documents ready to share.
• Passing the instructor test for a class is the step before you first teach it.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.
• Already have a course on AI for engineers, or want to make one? You can sell your own recorded course on YPAI Learn too. Bring a course you've built, or build one with our kit. It's the same application.

What you bring

• An FMEA, design review, report or specification check you did with AI in engineering work, shown with invented project details.
• Experience mentoring graduate engineers, running technical training or leading design reviews.
• Patience with engineers who will test the AI on units and standards before they accept anything it says.

You need

• Hands-on use of AI in engineering work, for example reports, specifications, design reviews or maintenance analysis.
• Experience as a civil, mechanical, electrical or industrial engineer, now or in the past.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If your engineering employer requires approval for outside work under your contract, arrange it before taking an assignment.
• Teaching volume depends on how many engineers sign up for the classes, and each invitation gives the expected time commitment.
• You can apply for free, and you do not need to buy or take a YPAI Learn course.
