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
