YO AI Labs; Austin (TX); Remote; USD 33,000 - 50,000; Part time

Job summary

YO AI Labs seeks a Mechanical Engineering Expert to support an AI training project. The role covers engineering design, physical modeling, simulation, and Python automation to solve structural, thermal, and multiphysics problems.

You will create geometries, run analyses, validate results, and review AI-generated engineering solutions. This is a fully remote contractor position with flexible ~15 hours per week.

Qualifications

• MS/PhD in Mechanical Engineering or BS with 1–2+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong mechanical-engineering fundamentals and simulation experience.
• Practical Python and programmatic engineering-tool experience.
• Ability to select and justify materials, loads, boundary conditions, assumptions, and model fidelity.
• Ability to validate results and clearly explain engineering decisions and trade-offs.

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.
