Mechanical Engineering
About this role
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. Your deep domain knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more. This is a unique opportunity to step beyond traditional engineering work and influence the next generation of AI technology — all from wherever you work best. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Advanced Engineering Problems — Craft complex, domain-specific challenges across FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that teach AI how to reason correctly through engineering problems - 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.) - Identify & Correct Failures — Spot logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve AI reasoning 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 physical concepts and mathematical derivations clearly in written form - Highly detail-oriented — precise with mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints - No prior AI experience required Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical review workflows - Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Familiarity with evaluating computational simulations or AI-generated workflows Why Join Us - Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects with top-tier research labs - Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life - Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work - Contribute to AI systems that will impact engineering and science globally - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
