Remote Mechanical Engineer for AI Modeling & Simulation

YO AI Labs; Chicago (IL); Remote; USD 69,000 - 103,000; Part time

Job summary

YO AI Labs is seeking a Mechanical Engineering Expert for a global, fully remote contracting role. You will tackle AI training projects involving engineering design, modeling, and Python-driven simulations. Expect ~15 hours per week with flexible scheduling, and no prior AI experience required.

You will solve and validate thermo-structural problems, translate requirements into models, and review AI-generated solutions with reproducible references. Remote, contract-based work.

Qualifications

• MS/PhD (or BS with 1-2+ years of relevant experience) in Mechanical Engineering.
• Strong fundamentals and simulation experience in mechanics and heat transfer.
• Proficiency in Python and programmatic engineering tools.

Responsibilities

• Solve and validate mechanical engineering problems involving design, analysis, simulation, and testing.
• Translate engineering requirements into analytical and computational models.
• Create and modify geometry, meshes, materials, loads, constraints, and solver inputs.
• Perform structural, thermal, dynamic, fatigue, buckling, and vibration analyses.
• Use Python to automate simulations, parameter sweeps, optimization, and post-processing.
• Analyze stress, strain, displacement, temperature, deformation, frequency response, and safety factors.
• Diagnose geometry, mesh, convergence, boundary-condition, and modeling issues.
• Compare simulation results with calculations, experiments, and expected physical behavior.
• Review AI-generated engineering solutions and develop reproducible reference solutions.
