Job summary

Alignerr is seeking a Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer to help shape how AI reasons through fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and structural mechanics. This remote, hourly contract role offers flexible hours and the chance to influence AI models built with leading research labs.

You will design problems, author precise solutions, and audit AI reasoning, contributing to safe, rigorous engineering AI systems with potential for ongoing work.

Qualifications

• Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Strong foundational expertise in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes.
• Able to communicate complex physical concepts and mathematical derivations clearly in written form.
• Highly detail-oriented — precise with mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints.
• No prior AI experience required.

Responsibilities

• Design Advanced Engineering Problems — craft complex, domain-specific challenges across FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance.
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that teach AI how to reason correctly through engineering problems.
• Audit AI Reasoning — evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.).
• Identify & Correct Failures — spot logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve AI reasoning.
