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 who know their stuff. As a Mechanical Engineering Expert, you'll stress-test cutting-edge AI by designing complex engineering problems, authoring expert-level solutions, and auditing AI reasoning across fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more.
Your work won't just sit in a spreadsheet — it will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through real engineering challenges.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Design Advanced Problems: Craft challenging mechanical engineering problems spanning FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, material science, and mechatronics to expose weaknesses in AI reasoning.
Author Gold-Standard Solutions: Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning — the kind of thorough, precise answers you'd expect from a top engineer.
Audit AI Outputs: Evaluate AI-generated thermodynamic proofs, CAD logic, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.).
Sharpen AI Reasoning: Identify logical errors — incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, flawed assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve how the model thinks through problems.
Document Failure Modes: Systematically record how and where AI falls short so that research teams can harden model performance over time.
Who You Are
Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
Deep foundational knowledge in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical reasoning clearly in writing
Exceptionally detail-oriented — you catch unit errors, invalid assumptions, and subtle logical gaps
Self-directed and comfortable working independently in an async, remote environment
No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
Experience with data annotation, technical writing, or evaluation systems
Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
Familiarity with AI or language model workflows
