Christchurch, England, United Kingdom
Summary: The Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training) role involves leveraging deep technical knowledge in mechanical engineering to train and evaluate AI models. The position focuses on crafting complex engineering problems, authoring solutions, auditing AI reasoning, and providing feedback to enhance model performance. This unique opportunity allows professionals to influence the development of AI systems used globally by engineers and researchers. The role is fully remote and offers flexible working hours.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced mechanical engineering problems across domains like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and material science to rigorously stress-test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models learn from and are evaluated against
- Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards
- Identify & Correct Failures — Pinpoint logical errors in AI reasoning and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
- Work Independently — Complete task-based assignments asynchronously on your own schedule
Key Skills:
- Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational knowledge across core areas such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
- Able to communicate highly technical concepts and complex physical phenomena clearly and concisely in writing
- High attention to detail when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
- Self-motivated, reliable, and comfortable working independently
- No prior AI experience required
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or evaluation systems (nice to have)
- Proficiency in engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS (nice to have)
- Familiarity with AI or language model evaluation workflows (nice to have)

Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
We're looking for mechanical engineering experts to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. 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 mechatronics. This is a unique opportunity to move beyond traditional engineering work and leave a lasting mark on the next generation of AI systems used by engineers, researchers, and innovators worldwide.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
