Summary: The Mechanical Engineering - AI Data Trainer role at Alignerr involves developing complex mechanical engineering problems to test AI performance, authoring technical solutions, and conducting technical audits for AI-generated outputs. Candidates will refine AI reasoning by identifying logical fallacies and providing feedback. The position is remote, offering flexible hours and competitive pay. An advanced degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering is required, along with strong analytical writing skills and attention to detail.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design advanced mechanical engineering problems across domains like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to test AI performance.
- Create rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions and "golden responses" for AI learning benchmarks.
- Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy and adherence to engineering standards.
- Identify logical fallacies in AI reasoning and provide structured feedback to improve the model's reasoning process.
Key Skills:
- Masters or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Strong foundational knowledge in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes.
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly in written form.
- High level of precision in checking mathematical derivations and physical system constraints.
- Prior experience with data annotation or evaluation systems is preferred.
- Proficiency in engineering software concepts like SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS.
