Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist
About this role
About the Role We're looking for experienced mechanical engineers to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and beyond. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing to AI systems used by leading research labs worldwide. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, domain-specific problems across FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and material science to rigorously stress-test AI performance - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop detailed, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models use as the gold standard for learning - Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards such as ASME and ISO - Refine Model Thinking — Identify and document logical errors in AI reasoning (e.g., incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations) and provide structured, actionable 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 areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes - Able to communicate highly technical concepts clearly and precisely in written form - Meticulous attention to detail — especially when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical constraints - No prior AI experience required — we'll onboard you Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation systems - Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Background in reviewing or producing technical documentation to industry standards Why Join Us - Work on some of the most technically demanding AI projects in the world - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere - Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work - Direct impact: your expertise shapes how AI understands and applies engineering knowledge - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
