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. As an AI Trainer, you'll stress-test advanced language models on complex engineering problems, expose their reasoning failures, and help define what engineering-grade AI looks like. This is a rare opportunity to step outside traditional engineering work and directly influence how the next generation of AI understands fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced engineering problems across domains like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to probe the limits of AI reasoning - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning - Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards like ASME and ISO - Refine AI Reasoning — Identify flawed reasoning — incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, unit errors — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance - Work Independently — Complete task-based assignments on your own schedule, asynchronously Who You Are - Pursuing or completed a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field - Strong foundational knowledge in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes - Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely in writing - High attention to detail — especially with mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints - No prior AI experience required Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, technical evaluation, or quality review workflows - Proficiency with engineering tools such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Background in applied research or engineering consulting Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs - Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and workload - Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work - Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
