Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist
About this role
About the Role We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and evaluate 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 sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing to some of the most advanced AI research happening today. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, domain-specific challenges across areas like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop detailed, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation - Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for technical accuracy, physical validity, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.) - Improve Model Thinking — Identify logical errors in AI reasoning, such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed kinematic assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance - Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule Who You Are - Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline - 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 working with mathematical derivations, unit analysis, and physical system constraints - No prior AI experience required — your engineering expertise is what matters Nice to Have - Prior experience with data annotation, technical writing, or evaluation systems - Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Familiarity with AI or language model evaluation workflows Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs and AI teams - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere - Gain rare, firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models (LLMs) are trained and evaluated - Freelance perks: autonomy, intellectual variety, and collaboration with a global network of experts - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
