Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models — and we need mechanical engineers to make it happen. As a Mechanical Engineering Expert, your deep domain knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and beyond.

This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence — no AI background required.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging mechanical engineering problems across domains including FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
• Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards like ASME and ISO
• Refine Model Thinking — Identify and document reasoning failures such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve AI logic

Who You Are

• Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
• Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical concepts clearly in written form
• Meticulous attention to detail — especially when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical constraints
• No prior AI or data annotation experience required

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical review workflows
• Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Experience reviewing or writing technical documentation to industry standards

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with top AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and workload
• Freelance autonomy with the variety and stimulation of real engineering challenges
• Gain direct exposure to how advanced large language models (LLMs) are trained and evaluated
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
