Mechanical Engineering
About this role
About the Role We're looking for mechanical engineers to help train and improve 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 FEA. This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing to some of the most advanced AI systems being built today. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-domain challenges across areas like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance - Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models use as a 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 (e.g., ASME, ISO) - Refine Model Thinking — Identify logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed failure analysis — and provide structured feedback to strengthen 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 expertise in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes - Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical concepts clearly and concisely in writing - Highly detail-oriented — comfortable checking derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints with precision - No prior AI experience required Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows - Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Familiarity with evaluating simulation outputs or AI-generated technical code Why Join Us - Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with world-leading research labs - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere - Freelance autonomy with the opportunity to contribute to meaningful, high-impact work - Gain rare insight into how advanced large language models (LLMs) are trained and improved - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
