Job description

Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems.

Role Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Design & Analysis Expert with top-tier automotive or aerospace engineering pedigree to design datasets that will help our customers train and evaluate advanced AI models against real-world mechanical engineering workflows.

You will turn complex physical engineering challenges—spanning conceptual 3D parametric CAD, CAE simulation (FEA, CFD), DFM/DFA, and physical testing—into structured test problems, define physical grading criteria, and diagnose why frontier AI models succeed or fail.

Experience:

15+ YOE in the field

Key Responsibilities:

• Convert real-world mechanical engineering challenges into structured test scenarios with defined inputs, requirements, kinematic/geometric constraints, and verified golden reference solutions.
• Design clear scoring rubrics & programmatic validation rules for automated task verification by software engineers (e.g., verifying stress concentrations, mesh convergence, boundary conditions, tolerance stacks, GD&T adherence).
• Assess the behavior of state-of-the-art AI agents to diagnose & analyse failure modes.
• Design and manage automated and human-expert-in-the-loop QA/QC workflows to ensure dataset quality.
• Recruit and coordinate teams of internal and external engineers to build and scale training and evaluation datasets.
