Mechanical Engineering - AI Data Trainer

About The Job

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models.

You'll challenge advanced language models on topics like fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and mechatronics—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

Organization: Alignerr Position: Mechanical Engineering - AI Data Trainer Type: Hourly Contract Compensation: $35-$60 /hour Location: Remote Commitment: 10-40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Develop Complex Problems: Design advanced mechanical engineering problems across domains like FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to test AI performance.

• Author Ground-Truth Solutions: Create rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions and "golden responses" that the AI will use as a benchmark for learning.

• Technical Auditing: Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and adherence to engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).

• Refine Reasoning: Identify logical fallacies in AI reasoning—such as incorrect force distributions or energy conservation violations—and provide structured feedback to improve the model's "thinking" process.

Requirements

• Advanced Degree: Masters (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.

• Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in core areas such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes.

• Analytical Writing: The ability to communicate highly technical concepts and complex physical phenomena clearly and concisely in written form.

• Attention to Detail: High level of precision when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints.

• No AI experience required

Preferred

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems

• Proficiency in engineering software concepts (e.g., SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS) to evaluate AI-generated code or workflows.

Why Join Us

• Competitive pay and flexible remote work.

• Collaborate with a team working on cutting-edge AI projects.

• Exposure to advanced LLMs and how they're trained.

• Freelance perks: autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration.

• Potential for contract extension.
