Mechanical Engineering Expert — AI Content Specialist

About The Role

We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and improve cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and FEA.

This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing to some of the most advanced AI systems being built today — all on your own schedule, fully remote.

Organization: Alignerr Type: Hourly Contract Location: Remote Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-step problems across domains including FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, material science, and mechatronics to rigorously test AI reasoning. Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models use as a gold standard for learning. Audit AI Technical Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO). Identify and Correct Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve AI reasoning.

Who You Are

Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes Able to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena clearly and precisely in writing High attention to detail — especially when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit analysis, and physical system constraints No prior AI experience required — your engineering knowledge is what matters

Nice to Have

Experience with data annotation, evaluation, or quality assurance workflows Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS Exposure to standards bodies or technical documentation (ASME, ISO, ASTM)

Why Join Us
