Mechanical Engineering

About the Role

We're looking for mechanical engineers to help train and improve cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and FEA.

This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing to some of the most advanced AI systems being built today.

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-domain challenges across areas like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI models use as a gold standard for learning
• Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
• Refine Model Thinking — Identify logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed failure analysis — and provide structured feedback to strengthen model performance

Who You Are

• Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline
• Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical concepts clearly and concisely in writing
• Highly detail-oriented — comfortable checking derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints with precision
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows
• Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Familiarity with evaluating simulation outputs or AI-generated technical code

Why Join Us

• Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with world-leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Freelance autonomy with the opportunity to contribute to meaningful, high-impact work
• Gain rare insight into how advanced large language models (LLMs) are trained and improved
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
