Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert — AI Content Specialist

About The Role

We're looking for mechanical engineering professionals to help train and improve some of the world’s most advanced AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and beyond.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing to cutting‑edge research without leaving the comfort of your home.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, domain‑specific challenges across areas like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), 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 "golden responses" that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation.
• Audit Technical Reasoning — Review 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 Thinking — Identify flaws in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or improper unit handling — 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 expertise in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena clearly and concisely in written English
• High attention to detail — especially when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
• No prior AI experience required — if you know your engineering, we'll handle the rest

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows
• Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Background in technical writing or engineering documentation

Why Join Us

• Work on genuinely cutting‑edge AI projects in collaboration with leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work at your own pace
• Freelance autonomy with the backing of a professional, global team
• Gain firsthand exposure to how large language models (LLMs) are trained and evaluated
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension based on performance
