Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert — AI Training Specialist

About the Role

What if your engineering knowledge could shape how the next generation of AI thinks about physics, materials, and mechanical systems? At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models — and we need real engineers to make it happen.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your deep expertise in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more — not on a factory floor or in a simulation lab, but at the frontier of artificial intelligence.

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

What You'll Do

  • Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced mechanical engineering problems across domains like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, material science, and mechatronics to stress-test AI performance
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
  • Audit AI Reasoning — Review AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards like ASME and ISO
  • Sharpen Model Thinking — Identify flaws in AI reasoning (incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, faulty assumptions) and deliver structured feedback that directly improves model quality

Who You Are

  • Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline
  • Strong foundational knowledge in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
  • Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical derivations clearly in writing
  • High attention to detail — you catch unit errors, sign mistakes, and constraint violations that others miss
  • No prior AI experience required — if you know your engineering, we'll handle the rest

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, technical evaluation, or quality assurance workflows
  • Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, or MATLAB
  • Background in reviewing or writing technical documentation to industry standards

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI — contribute directly to training advanced large language models used by top research labs worldwide
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work from anywhere
  • Meaningful impact — your expertise shapes how AI reasons about the physical world
  • Freelance autonomy — enjoy the independence of contract work with the substance of high-impact technical projects
  • Potential for ongoing work — strong contributors are regularly offered contract extensions
