About this role · Coding
About the Role We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and improve cutting-edge AI models. Your technical knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and FEA. This is a unique opportunity to apply your advanced engineering expertise in a new and impactful way, working alongside world-leading AI research teams from the comfort of your own home. - 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 across areas like finite element analysis (FEA), heat transfer, kinematics, thermodynamics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that guide the AI's learning process - Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO) - Refine Model Thinking — Identify logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions or energy conservation violations — and deliver structured feedback that improves how the model approaches engineering problems Who You Are - Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field - Deep foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes - Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely in written form - Meticulous attention to detail when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints - No prior AI experience required — if you know engineering, we'll handle the rest Nice to Have - Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows - Proficiency in engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Experience reviewing or auditing technical documentation to engineering standards Why Join Us - Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects with top research labs and AI teams - Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work at your own pace - Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models (LLMs) are built and trained - Freelance autonomy with the support of a collaborative, global team - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension based on performance
