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 beyond.
This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing to some of the most advanced AI research happening today.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10--40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Complex Engineering Problems --- Craft advanced, domain-specific challenges across areas like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions --- Develop detailed, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
- Audit AI Reasoning --- Evaluate AI-generated outputs --- including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications --- for technical accuracy, physical validity, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.)
- Improve Model Thinking --- Identify logical errors in AI reasoning, such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed kinematic assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
- Work independently and 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 discipline
- Strong foundational expertise in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
- Able to communicate highly technical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
- Meticulous attention to detail --- especially when working with mathematical derivations, unit analysis, and physical system constraints
- No prior AI experience required --- your engineering expertise is what matters
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, technical writing, or evaluation systems
- Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
- Familiarity with AI or language model evaluation workflows
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs and AI teams
- Fully remote and flexible --- work on your own schedule, from anywhere
- Gain rare, firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models (LLMs) are trained and evaluated
- Freelance perks: autonomy, intellectual variety, and collaboration with a global network of experts
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
