Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
Summary: The Mechanical Engineering Expert — AI Content Specialist role involves collaborating with leading AI research labs to develop advanced AI models by leveraging expertise in mechanical engineering. The position requires designing complex engineering problems, authoring technical solutions, and auditing AI reasoning for accuracy. Candidates should possess a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles and be able to communicate complex concepts effectively. This role offers flexible, remote work opportunities ranging from 10 to 40 hours per week.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design Complex Engineering Problems — Create advanced, domain-specific challenges spanning FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, material science, and mechatronics to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models use as learning references
- Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
- Identify and Correct Errors — Spot logical failures in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed kinematic assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
Key Skills:
- Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational expertise in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
- Able to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena with clarity and precision in writing
- Meticulous attention to detail when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
- No prior AI experience required — if you know your engineering, we'll handle the rest
- Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems (Nice to Have)
- Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS to evaluate AI-generated code or simulation workflows (Nice to Have)
