Remote Mechanical Engineering Technician — AI Data Tasks

SaidGig; New York (NY); Remote; USD 41,000 - 96,000; Part time

Job summary

SaidGig is seeking a remote contract engineering-tech specialist to convert real lab and production experience into precise datasets, tasks, and evaluations for AI learning. You will develop authentic technician workflows, instrument tests, and data-grade rubrics without requiring prior AI experience.

The role is remote, contract-based, and compensated per task that meets project specs. Expect fast onboarding and weekly task submissions with performance-based timing.

Qualifications

• At least 4 years of hands-on experience in mechanical engineering technology lab, test, or production environments.
• An associate degree or recognized trade credential in mechanical engineering technology or a related field.
• Extensive experience with instrumentation, sensors, data-acquisition systems, and prototype testing workflows.
• Ability to document test procedures, outcomes, and failure modes in depth.
• Strong analytical ability to interpret complex datasets and diagnose equipment or process failures.

Responsibilities

• Design and write authentic technician workflow tasks covering test setup, instrumentation, data collection, and failure diagnosis.
• Source, synthesize, and build technical datasets from real lab or production scenarios, including test logs, calibration records, sensor outputs, and failure reports.
• Define accurate solution pathways, including test-data interpretation and informed next-step recommendations.
• Create rigorous grading rubrics with 35 or more items to assess instrumentation logic, data interpretation, and failure analysis.
• Document technical procedures, observations, and diagnostic findings with precision and clarity.
• Ensure evaluation tasks reflect the complexity and realism of professional practice rather than simplified textbook examples.
