Remote CFD Task Designer for AI Reasoning (OpenFOAM)

Alignerr Corp.; Melbourne; Remote; AUD 83,000 - 138,000; Part time

Job summary

Alignerr Corp. is seeking a CFD Engineer — AI Task Designer to craft compact CFD and aerodynamics challenges that teach AI to reason about flow physics. You will design problems, set up deterministic checkers, and provide verifiable reference solutions, grounded in real-world practice with OpenFOAM.

This fully remote, hourly contract role offers 10–40 hours per week and flexible scheduling, ideal for hands-on CFD specialists who enjoy clear, self-contained tasks and independent work.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with OpenFOAM.
• Solid foundation in fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and heat transfer fundamentals.
• Comfortable with mesh generation, turbulence modeling, boundary-condition specification, and post-processing.
• Able to formulate engineering problems that are precise, self-contained, and objectively verifiable.
• Strong written communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Design compact, self-contained CFD and aerodynamics tasks that test an AI model's engineering reasoning.
• Write clear, unambiguous problem statements covering topics such as boundary-condition selection, mesh quality assessment, flow-regime identification, and simulation setup.
• Develop deterministic scoring checkers that can automatically evaluate a model's final answer.
• Provide verified reference solutions that confirm each task is solvable and correctly scored.
• Review and iterate on tasks to ensure physical accuracy, clarity, and appropriate difficulty.
• Draw on your experience with OpenFOAM to ground tasks in real-world practice.
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule.
