Mechanical Engineer — AI Problem Designer

DataAnnotation; Little Rock (AR); Remote; USD 142,000 - 202,000; Full time

Job summary

DataAnnotation is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to help train AI models. You’ll write hard, verifiable engineering problems drawn from your specialty, derive answers, verify them, and show exactly where today’s AI systems fall short of a practicing engineer.

You’ll review AI-generated analyses and CAD tasks, test problems against AI systems, and contribute to a growing field that teaches machines to reason like engineers, with remote, project-based work and competitive compensation

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience in design, product development, manufacturing, or related fields.
• Fluency with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor).
• Strong fundamentals across mechanics of materials, dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and manufacturing processes.
• Able to write a precise, unambiguous technical problem and a clear worked solution in fluent written English.
• Meticulous; you check your own work and enjoy finding the edge case that breaks an assumption.
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field (completed or in progress).
• Only applicants based in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the United States will be considered for this role.

Responsibilities

• Write challenging, closed-ended problems from your area of expertise, built so that solving them requires real engineering reasoning.
• Derive the correct answer, verify it, and write a worked solution showing how you got there.
• Test your problems against AI systems and sharpen the ones they get right until they challenge the model.
• Review AI-generated engineering analysis, designs, and technical documentation for correctness and real-world applicability.
• Review other contributors’ problems and solutions for correctness, ambiguity, and rigor.
