Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

About the Role

We're looking for mechanical engineering specialists to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and FEA.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the frontier of AI development, applying your hard-earned expertise in a flexible, remote freelance role.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-domain mechanical engineering challenges across areas like finite element analysis (FEA), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that serve as the gold standard for AI learning
• Audit AI Technical Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
• Refine AI Reasoning Processes — Identify logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve how AI models "think"

Who You Are

• Holds a Master's degree (in progress or completed) or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
• Strong foundational expertise in one or more core domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, mechatronics, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena clearly and precisely in written form
• Highly detail-oriented with a sharp eye for mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
• No prior AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in data annotation, data quality assurance, or technical evaluation workflows
• Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS, or similar tools
• Familiarity with industry standards like ASME, ISO, or ASTM

Why Join Us

• Work on some of the most advanced AI projects in the world alongside leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work at your own pace
• Apply your engineering expertise in a novel, high-impact way
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global community of domain experts
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
