Remote Mechanical Design Engineer for AI Training

DataAnnotation; Pensacola (FL); Remote; USD 142,000 - 202,000; Full time

Job summary

DataAnnotation seeks an experienced Mechanical Engineer to craft rigorous, verifiable engineering problems that push AI to reason like a practicing engineer. You’ll derive solutions, validate results, and calibrate models against real-world constraints across design, structures, thermal, fluids, and dynamics.

You will review AI-generated analyses and collaborate with contributors to ensure precision and applicability, applying CAD and analysis tools to real-world cases and maintaining fluent

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 with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Creo, NX, CATIA, or Inventor; plus 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.
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field (completed or in progress).
• Only applicants based in the United States will be considered for this role.

Responsibilities

• Write challenging, closed-ended problems from your area of expertise that require real engineering reasoning, not memory lookup.
• Derive the correct answer, verify it, and write a worked solution showing how you got there.
• Test your problems against AI systems and refine them to challenge the models.
• 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.
