Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)

About The Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models — and we need mechanical engineers to make it happen. As a Mechanical Engineering Expert, you'll challenge advanced AI systems with complex engineering problems, audit their reasoning, and help shape how the next generation of AI understands the physical world. This is a unique opportunity to leverage your deep technical knowledge in a flexible, fully remote contract role — no prior AI experience required.
• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
•

Location:
Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do
• Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced mechanical engineering problems across domains including FEA (Finite Element Analysis), fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to probe and stress-test AI reasoning.
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Develop rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation.
• Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated responses, CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).
• Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors in AI outputs — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations,



or flawed kinematic assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance. Who You Are
• Advanced Degree — Master's (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Domain Expertise — Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes.
• Clear Communicator — Able to explain complex physical phenomena and technical reasoning in precise, well-structured written form.
• Detail-Oriented — High precision when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit conversions, dimensional analysis, and physical system constraints.
• No AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed. Nice to Have
• Experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or AI evaluation workflows
• Proficiency in engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS, or similar tools
• Familiarity with failure mode analysis or engineering standards documentation Why Join Us
• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs and AI teams
• Fully remote and adaptable — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global community of experts
• Make a meaningful contribution to how AI understands engineering and the physical world
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
