  • Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format.
  • Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources like peer-reviewed journals or university repositories.
  • For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.

Qualifications

  • Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.
  • Strong command of graduate-level engineering principles, applied mathematics, and domain-specific standards.
