Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

About the Role

We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and mechatronics.

This is a unique opportunity to move beyond traditional engineering work and leave a lasting mark on the next generation of AI systems used by engineers, researchers, and innovators worldwide.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced mechanical engineering problems across domains like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and material science to rigorously stress-test AI performance
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models learn from and are evaluated against
  • Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
  • Identify & Correct Failures — Pinpoint logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or invalid boundary conditions — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
  • Work Independently — Complete task-based assignments asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
  • Strong foundational knowledge across core areas such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
  • Able to communicate highly technical concepts and complex physical phenomena clearly and concisely in writing
  • High attention to detail when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
  • Self-motivated, reliable, and comfortable working independently
  • No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or evaluation systems
  • Proficiency in engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
  • Familiarity with AI or language model evaluation workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI projects in collaboration with world-leading AI research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your schedule, from anywhere
  • Freelance autonomy with the backing of an established AI training organization
  • Engage with intellectually stimulating, technically demanding problems every day
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects grow
