Mechanical Engineering
About this role
About the Role We're looking for mechanical engineers to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models being developed by the world's leading AI research labs. Your deep technical expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics to structural mechanics. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of advanced engineering and frontier AI, entirely on your own schedule. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Complex Engineering Problems — Create advanced, multi-step challenges across domains like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, thermodynamics, and material science to rigorously stress-test AI performance - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that guide AI learning and set the standard for engineering reasoning - Audit Technical Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated results including CAD logic, thermodynamic derivations, and material specifications for accuracy, physical validity, and adherence to engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.) - Refine AI Reasoning — Identify flaws in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or improper boundary conditions — and deliver structured feedback that improves model performance Who You Are - Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline - Strong foundational knowledge across core ME domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes - Able to communicate complex physical concepts and mathematical reasoning clearly in written form - Meticulous attention to detail — especially when reviewing derivations, unit analysis, and system constraints - No prior AI or data annotation experience required Nice to Have - Prior experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or technical writing - Hands-on proficiency with engineering tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, or MATLAB - Familiarity with engineering simulation workflows or AI-generated code review Why Join Us - Work on some of the most advanced AI models being built today - Fully remote and async — work when and where it suits you - Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work - Collaborate with a global network of domain experts and AI researchers - Ongoing contract potential as projects grow and expand
