Mechanical Engineering

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models — and we need mechanical engineers to make it happen. Your deep domain knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more. This is a unique opportunity to step beyond traditional engineering work and influence the next generation of AI technology — all from wherever you work best.

Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design Advanced Engineering Problems — Craft complex, domain-specific challenges across FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that teach AI how to reason correctly through engineering problems
• Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.)
• Identify & Correct Failures — Spot logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve AI reasoning

Who You Are

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

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical review workflows
• Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
