Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models - and we need mechanical engineers to make it happen. Your deep domain knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems, from fluid dynamics to structural mechanics. This is a unique opportunity to step beyond traditional engineering work and leave your mark on the next generation of AI systems.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Challenging Problems - Craft advanced mechanical engineering scenarios across FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, thermodynamics, and material science to stress-test AI reasoning
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions - Develop rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
• Audit AI Outputs - Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and adherence to standards such as ASME and ISO
• Sharpen AI Reasoning - Identify flaws in AI-generated reasoning - such as incorrect force distributions or energy conservation violations - and provide structured feedback to improve model performance

Who You Are

• Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
• Strong foundational expertise in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical derivations clearly in written form
• Meticulous attention to detail - especially around mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical review workflows
• Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Background in applied research or academic publishing

Why Join Us

• Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible - work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world
• Freelance autonomy with the backing of an organized, mission-driven team
• Contribute to meaningful work that advances how AI understands engineering
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
