Mechanical Engineering
About this role
About the Role We partner 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. This is a unique opportunity to apply your deep domain expertise in a completely new way: stress-testing and refining advanced AI systems on problems in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more. If you've ever wanted to see how cutting-edge AI thinks — and then make it think better — this role is for you. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced mechanical engineering problems spanning FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, material science, and mechatronics that push AI models to their limits - Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Develop rigorous, 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 engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.) - Sharpen Model Thinking — Identify flaws in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or faulty failure analysis — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance Who You Are - Holds a Master's (pursuing or completed) 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 derivations clearly in writing - High attention to detail when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and system constraints - No prior AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical review processes - Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS, or similar tools - Background in academic research or technical writing Why Join Us - Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research teams - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere - Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work - Gain rare, behind-the-scenes exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and improved - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
