Mechanical & Aerospace Test and Reliability Engineer

Use your hands-on experience in mechanical and aerospace engineering to write research-level problems for AI models. Remote, flexible contract work.

AfterQuery works with leading AI labs to build the expert data that tests and trains AI models. We're looking for test and reliability engineers who work with real test data: the performance trials, vibration and modal surveys, rig or flight tests, and failure investigations you have run and written up.

Requirements

• Technical: Working knowledge of Python (MATLAB is a plus) for reducing and analyzing your own test data.

Preferred

• Background: 3 or more years of hands-on test, commissioning or condition-monitoring work, with a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
• Hands-on work with real data, rather than pure CAD or design, simulation only, or management roles.

Contract and pay

Flexible, independent-contractor work: $300 per approved task, about 6 hours each (roughly $50 per hour), with no cap on how many tasks you take on.

All accepted experts undergo standard background and identity verification.

Required qualifications

• Hands-on experience working with your own real test data in Python or a similar language
• Able to write clearly about technical work in your field
• Able to work independently and manage your own time. This is flexible, task-based work with no fixed weekly schedule

Why apply

• $300 per approved task (roughly $50 per hour)
• Fully remote and flexible, with no fixed weekly schedule
