Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Alignerr Corp.; Manchester; Remote; GBP 41,000 - 83,000; Full time

Job summary

Alignerr is seeking a Mechanical Engineering expert to help train and improve AI models. You will craft multi-domain problems in FEA, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics to rigorously test AI performance and contribute precise, reference solutions for learning.

Ideal candidates hold a Master's or PhD in a related field and can clearly communicate complex derivations. Remote freelance role with flexible hours and potential for ongoing collaborations.

Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or closely related field.
• Strong foundational knowledge in core domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes.
• Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations clearly in writing.
• Highly detail-oriented — precise in derivations, unit conversions, and constraints.
• No prior AI or data annotation experience required.

Responsibilities

• Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-step problems across domains such as FEA, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, kinematics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance.
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI systems use as reference standards for learning.
• Audit Technical Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).
• Identify & Correct Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors in AI reasoning and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.

Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

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

This is a rare opportunity to apply your advanced engineering knowledge in a high-impact, flexible freelance role — no prior AI experience needed.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-step problems across domains such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, fluid mechanics, kinematics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI systems use as reference standards for learning
• Audit Technical Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
• Identify & Correct Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions — 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 knowledge in one or more core domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations clearly and concisely in writing
• Highly detail-oriented — precise when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
• No prior AI or data annotation experience required

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical content development
• Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Experience reviewing or generating technical documentation to industry standards

Why Join Us

• Work on some of the most technically demanding AI projects in the industry alongside top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule
• Freelance autonomy: choose your hours, work independently, and collaborate globally
• Make a meaningful contribution to how AI reasons about the physical world
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects evolve
