Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Mechanical Engineering Expert AI Content Specialist

About The Role

We'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: Alignerr

• Type: Hourly Contract

• Location: Remote

• Commitment: 1040 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design 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 Are

• Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field

• Strong foundational knowledge in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes

• Able to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena clearly and precisely in written form

• Detail-oriented comfortable working with mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints

• Self-motivated and able to work independently and asynchronously

• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

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

• Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS

• Experience reviewing or producing technical documentation to industry standards

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs and teams

• Fully remote and flexible you set your schedule

• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with experts across the globe

• Meaningful work your engineering knowledge directly improves how AI reasons about the physical world

• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
