Job description

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and improve cutting‑edge AI systems. Your technical knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics to structural mechanics — making a real impact on the future of intelligent systems.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You set your schedule and work on your own terms.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Advanced Engineering Problems — Craft challenging, domain‑rich problems across areas like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, thermodynamics, and material science to stress‑test AI reasoning.
• Author Ground‑Truth Solutions — Develop rigorous, step‑by‑step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation.
• Audit AI‑Generated Technical Content — Review AI outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).
• Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect force distributions or energy conservation violations, and provide structured feedback that improves how the model thinks through engineering problems.

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 domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical reasoning clearly in written form
• High attention to detail — precise when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, data quality, or technical evaluation workflows
• Proficiency in engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Familiarity with how large language models (LLMs) generate and process technical content

Why Join Us

• Work on genuinely cutting‑edge AI projects in collaboration with leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Contribute to meaningful work that advances how AI handles real‑world engineering challenges
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
