Mechanical Engineering
About this role
About the Role We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and improve the next generation of AI models. Working with Alignerr — a partner to the world's leading AI research labs — you'll stress-test advanced language models on complex engineering problems, expose their reasoning failures, and help build AI that truly understands the physical world. This is a rare opportunity to apply your deep technical knowledge in a high-impact, flexible freelance role — no office, no commute, no rigid schedule. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced engineering scenarios across fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to probe the limits of AI reasoning - Build Ground-Truth Solutions — Author rigorous, step-by-step solutions that serve as the gold standard for AI learning and benchmarking - Audit Technical Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.) - Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify flaws in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or faulty assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance Who You Are - Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field - Strong foundational knowledge in at least one of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes - Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and concisely in written form - Highly precise when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on an asynchronous schedule - No prior AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, technical writing, or evaluation workflows - Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Familiarity with AI or large language model outputs Why Join Us - Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere - Freelance autonomy: choose your hours, manage your workload - Gain rare insight into how frontier AI models are built and trained - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
