Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist
About this role
About the Role We're looking for mechanical engineering specialists to help train and improve cutting-edge AI models. Your technical expertise 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 rare opportunity to apply your advanced engineering knowledge in a high-impact, flexible freelance role — no prior AI experience needed. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-step problems across domains such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, fluid mechanics, 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 systems use as reference standards for learning - Audit Technical 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) - Identify & Correct Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance Who You Are - Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field - Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes - Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations clearly and concisely in writing - Highly detail-oriented — precise when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints - No prior AI or data annotation experience required Nice to Have - Prior experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical content development - Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS - Experience reviewing or generating technical documentation to industry standards Why Join Us - Work on some of the most technically demanding AI projects in the industry alongside top research labs - Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule - Freelance autonomy: choose your hours, work independently, and collaborate globally - Make a meaningful contribution to how AI reasons about the physical world - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects evolve
