Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

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 make it happen. As a Mechanical Engineering Expert, your deep domain knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and beyond.

This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence — no AI background required.

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

What You'll Do

  • Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging mechanical engineering problems across domains including FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
  • Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
  • Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards like ASME and ISO
  • Refine Model Thinking — Identify and document reasoning failures such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve AI logic

Who You Are

  • Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
  • Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
  • Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical concepts clearly in written form
  • Meticulous attention to detail — especially when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical constraints
  • No prior AI or data annotation experience required

Nice to Have

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

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with top AI research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and workload
  • Freelance autonomy with the variety and stimulation of real engineering challenges
  • Gain direct exposure to how advanced large language models (LLMs) are trained and evaluated
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
