Remote Mechanical Design Engineer — AI Trainer

DataAnnotation; Lexington (KY); Remote; USD 103,000 - 172,000; Full time

Job summary

DataAnnotation is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to craft challenging, closed-ended problems for AI model training. You’ll derive, verify, and present worked solutions, then test your problems against AI systems to push model reasoning beyond simple lookups.

Your role encompasses reviewing AI-generated analyses and collaborating on problem sets with fellow engineers. A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field is required, with remote work possible globally.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience in any specialty: design, product development, manufacturing, thermal, structural, automotive, aerospace, HVAC, robotics, energy, or related fields.
• Fluency in the tools of your specialty, such as CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Creo, NX, CATIA, or Inventor), FEA/CFD, or MATLAB/Python for engineering analysis.
• 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.
• A 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 rather than a lookup.
• 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.
