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 adaptable, 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
• Exposure to advanced large language models and how they're trained and evaluated
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
