Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content SpecialistAbout the RoleWe're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to make the next generation of AI models smarter, safer, and more technically rigorous - and we need mechanical engineers to help get us there.As a Mechanical Engineering Expert, you'll put your deep domain knowledge to work by designing challenging problems, authoring gold-standard solutions, and auditing AI reasoning across fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and applies engineering principles.This is a fully remote, flexible contract role - work on your own schedule, on your own terms.Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10-40 hours/week What You'll DoDesign Complex Engineering Problems- Craft advanced, domain-specific challenges across areas like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science to stress-test AI performance.Author Ground-Truth Solutions- Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models use as the gold standard for learning.Audit AI-Generated Technical Content- Evaluate AI outputs - including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications - for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).Refine AI Reasoning- Identify and document logical errors in AI reasoning, such as incorrect force distributions or energy conservation violations, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance. Who You AreHolds or is pursuing aMaster's or PhDin Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related fieldStrong foundational knowledge in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processesAble to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena clearly and precisely in written formDetail-oriented - comfortable working with mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraintsSelf-motivated and able to work independently and asynchronouslyNo prior AI experience required Nice to HavePrior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflowsProficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYSExperience reviewing or producing technical documentation to industry standards Why Join UsWork on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs and teamsFully remote and flexible - you set your scheduleFreelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with experts across the globeMeaningful work - your engineering knowledge directly improves how AI reasons about the physical worldPotential for ongoing work and contract extension
