Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Mechanical Engineering Expert — AI Training Specialist
About The Role
What if your engineering knowledge could shape how the next generation of AI thinks about physics, materials, and mechanical systems? At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models — and we need real engineers to make it happen.
This is a unique opportunity to apply your deep expertise in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more — not on a factory floor or in a simulation lab, but at the frontier of artificial intelligence.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Fully Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week (flexible)
What You'll Do
Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced mechanical engineering problems across domains like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, material science, and mechatronics to stress-test AI performance
Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
Audit AI Reasoning — Review AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards like ASME and ISO
Sharpen Model Thinking — Identify flaws in AI reasoning (incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, faulty assumptions) and deliver structured feedback that directly improves model quality
Who You Are
Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline
Strong foundational knowledge in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical derivations clearly in writing
High attention to detail — you catch unit errors, sign mistakes, and constraint violations that others miss
No prior AI experience required — if you know your engineering, we'll handle the rest
Nice to Have
Experience with data annotation, technical evaluation, or quality assurance workflows
Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, or MATLAB
Background in reviewing or writing technical documentation to industry standards
