Remote Mechanical Modeling Expert for AI Simulations

YO AI Labs; Washington (District of Columbia); Remote; USD 83,000 - 165,000; Part time

Job summary

YO AI Labs is seeking a Mechanical Engineering Expert (contractor) to support an AI training project across design, modeling, and Python automation. You will tackle structural, thermal, and multiphysics analyses, validate results, and translate requirements into robust analytical models.

You'll create meshes, run simulations, adjust materials and loads, and review AI-generated engineering solutions to produce reproducible reference results.

Qualifications

• 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.
