Mechanical Engineering — AI Trainer

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models — and we need mechanical engineers to make it happen. Your deep domain expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems, from fluid dynamics to structural mechanics.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Advanced Engineering Problems — Create challenging, domain-specific problems across FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, thermodynamics, and material science that push AI to its limits
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
• Audit AI Reasoning — Review AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
• Refine Model Thinking — Identify flawed reasoning in AI outputs — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or faulty assumptions — 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 knowledge in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical concepts clearly and concisely in writing
• Highly precise when working through mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on an async, flexible schedule
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
• Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Experience reviewing or auditing technical documentation or engineering workflows

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects with top research labs and AI teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, 10–40 hours/week
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with experts across the globe
• Make a direct, measurable impact on how AI understands engineering
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
