Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
We're looking for mechanical engineering specialists to help train and improve cutting-edge AI models developed by the world's leading AI research labs. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and materials science.
This is a unique opportunity to apply your graduate-level expertise in a flexible, remote capacity while making a meaningful contribution to the future of AI-assisted engineering.
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 (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
Author Ground-Truth Solutions: Develop detailed, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models learn from — your work sets the standard
Audit Technical Reasoning: Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, and others)
Identify and Correct Reasoning Failures: Pinpoint logical errors in AI reasoning — such as flawed force distributions, energy conservation violations, or incorrect unit derivations — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
Who You Are
Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline
Strong foundational expertise in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, mechatronics, or manufacturing processes
Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical concepts clearly and precisely in writing
Highly detail-oriented — you catch errors in mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints that others miss
No prior AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed
Nice to Have
Experience with data annotation, technical writing, or evaluation systems
Proficiency in engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS, or similar tools
Background in reviewing or producing engineering documentation to professional standards
Why Join Us
Work on some of the most technically sophisticated AI projects in the world
Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work when it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the backing of a globally collaborative team
Intellectually stimulating work that keeps your engineering skills sharp
