Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist
About this role
About the Role We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and improve cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and beyond. This is a unique opportunity to step outside traditional engineering roles and make a lasting impact on the future of AI — on your own schedule, from anywhere in the world. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Complex Engineering Problems — Develop advanced, domain-specific challenges across areas like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write detailed, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models learn from and are evaluated against - Audit AI Technical Reasoning — Review AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO) - Identify and Correct Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model quality 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 domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes - Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely in writing - Highly detail-oriented — comfortable checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async, remote environment - No prior AI experience required Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, technical evaluation, or quality assurance workflows - Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Familiarity with evaluating AI-generated code or simulation workflows Why Join Us - Work on frontier AI projects alongside leading AI research teams and labs - Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you - Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work - Contribute to AI systems that will influence engineering and science for years to come - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
