Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Mechanical Engineering Expert — AI Content SpecialistAbout The Role We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and improve cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and FEA. This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing to some of the most advanced AI systems being built today — all on your own schedule, fully remote.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-step problems across domains including FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, material science, and mechatronics to rigorously test AI reasoning.
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models use as a gold standard for learning.
• Audit AI Technical Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).
• Identify and Correct Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve AI reasoning.

Who You Are

• Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline
• Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena clearly and precisely in writing
• High attention to detail — especially when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit analysis, and physical system constraints
• No prior AI experience required — your engineering knowledge is what matters

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, evaluation, or quality assurance workflows
• Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Exposure to standards bodies or technical documentation (ASME, ISO, ASTM)

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading AI research labs and teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work independently on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and meaningful intellectual work
• Apply your engineering expertise in a novel, high-impact way
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
