Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to make cutting-edge language models smarter, more rigorous, and more reliable — and we need mechanical engineers to help us do it. As a Mechanical Engineering Expert, you'll stress-test advanced AI models on the topics you know best: fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, FEA, and more. Your job is to push these models to their limits, document where they fail, and help build the benchmark content that shapes how AI reasons about the physical world. This is a rare opportunity to apply deep technical expertise in a new and high-impact way — without leaving your home.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced mechanical engineering problems spanning FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, material science, and mechatronics that probe the boundaries of AI reasoning
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as the gold standard for AI learning and benchmarking
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic derivations, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety compliance, and adherence to standards like ASME and ISO
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors in AI responses — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed failure mode analysis — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
Who You Are
- Holding or pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline
- Deeply knowledgeable in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
- Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical reasoning clearly in writing
- Precise and methodical — you catch unit errors, faulty assumptions, and constraint violations that others miss
- No prior AI experience required — your engineering expertise is what matters
Nice to Have
