Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert — AI Content Specialist

About the Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models — and we need mechanical engineers to help make it happen.

As a Mechanical Engineering Expert, your deep knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and related domains will directly shape how the next generation of AI reasons through complex engineering problems. You'll challenge, audit, and refine AI thinking at the highest technical level — work that genuinely matters.

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

What You'll Do

  • Design Complex Engineering Problems — Create advanced, domain-specific challenges spanning FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, material science, and mechatronics to rigorously test AI performance
  • Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models use as learning references
  • Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
  • Identify and Correct Errors — Spot logical failures in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed kinematic assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance

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 areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
  • Able to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena with clarity and precision in writing
  • Meticulous attention to detail when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
  • No prior AI experience required — if you know your engineering, we'll handle the rest

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
  • Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS to evaluate AI-generated code or simulation 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, 10 to 40 hours per week
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with experts across the globe
  • Gain rare, hands-on exposure to how advanced large language models (LLMs) are built and trained
  • Contribute to work that shapes how AI understands and applies real engineering knowledge
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
