Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

We're looking for mechanical engineering specialists to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge 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 unique opportunity to apply your graduate-level expertise in a new and impactful domain, working alongside world-leading AI research teams — all on a fully flexible, remote schedule.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-domain problems spanning FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science that rigorously challenge AI reasoning
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
• Audit AI-Generated Content — Review and evaluate AI outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
• Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical flaws such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or unit errors, 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 concepts and mathematical reasoning clearly in written form
• Highly detail-oriented when reviewing derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
• No prior AI experience required — if you know engineering, we'll handle the rest

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or technical writing
• Proficiency in engineering software such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, or MATLAB
• Familiarity with AI or language model evaluation workflows

Why Join Us

• Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects with top research labs around the world
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
• Apply your technical expertise to a high-impact, intellectually stimulating new domain
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
