Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert — AI Content Specialist

About 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 understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and beyond.

This is a unique opportunity to step outside traditional engineering roles and make a lasting impact on the future of AI — on your own schedule, from anywhere in the world.

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

What You'll Do

  • Design Complex Engineering Problems — Develop advanced, domain-specific challenges across areas like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write detailed, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models learn from and are evaluated against
  • Audit AI Technical Reasoning — Review 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 in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model quality

Who You Are

  • Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
  • Strong foundational expertise in one or more core domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
  • Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely in writing
  • Highly detail-oriented — comfortable checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async, remote environment
  • No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, technical evaluation, or quality assurance workflows
  • Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
  • Familiarity with evaluating AI-generated code or simulation workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI projects alongside leading AI research teams and labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
  • Contribute to AI systems that will influence engineering and science for years to come
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
