About the Opportunity
AfterQuery partners with leading AI research organizations to improve how advanced AI systems understand aerospace engineering, aircraft systems, and flight-critical design decisions. We are seeking experienced Aerospace Engineer Experts to create realistic engineering scenarios, evaluate technical solutions, and contribute expert knowledge to the training of next-generation AI systems.
This opportunity is ideal for aerospace engineers with hands-on experience in aircraft, spacecraft, propulsion systems, structural analysis, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, or guidance, navigation, and control (GNC). You will help assess AI-generated engineering solutions, identify technical flaws, and ensure engineering reasoning aligns with real-world aerospace practices and industry standards.
The work is fully remote, flexible, and focused on authentic aerospace engineering challenges. No prior AI experience is required.
Key Responsibilities
Author realistic aerospace engineering scenarios spanning requirements definition, design, analysis, testing, and design review processes.
Create expert reference solutions that explain engineering assumptions, calculations, trade-offs, and decision-making rationale.
Evaluate AI-generated aerospace engineering content for technical accuracy and engineering validity.
Review aircraft, spacecraft, propulsion, structures, aerodynamics, and systems engineering solutions.
Identify unsafe assumptions, design flaws, performance limitations, and compliance issues.
Assess engineering outputs against applicable aerospace standards, regulations, and best practices.
Provide structured written feedback to improve AI-generated engineering reasoning.
Contribute expertise in flight systems, certification, testing, and engineering analysis workflows.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
2+ years of professional aerospace engineering experience.
Expertise in at least one area such as aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, flight mechanics, systems engineering, or guidance, navigation, and control (GNC).
Strong understanding of aerospace engineering principles and design processes.
Experience reviewing engineering analyses, technical documentation, or design reviews.
Excellent written communication skills.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Ability to commit at least 10 hours per week.
Preferred Qualifications
Flight test, ground test, or wind tunnel testing experience.
Expertise with engineering analysis tools such as NASTRAN, ANSYS, Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar platforms.
Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), or multidisciplinary design optimization.
Airworthiness, certification, or regulatory experience involving FAA, EASA, or equivalent authorities.
Experience in aircraft, spacecraft, UAV, defense, launch vehicle, or advanced air mobility programs.
MS or PhD in Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
Interest in AI, engineering automation, and emerging aerospace technologies.
