Professor of Mechanical Engineering

About the role

Micro1 is engaging Mechanical Engineering Professors, adjuncts, and academic instructors to participate in a high-impact AI research project for a customer.

Responsibilities

• Design and author rigorous single-option (multiple-choice) assessment questions in your specialization within mechanical engineering, calibrated for graduate or postgraduate complexity.
• Translate advanced concepts from Solid & Structural Mechanics, Dynamics & Vibration & Control, or Thermal-Fluids into challenging exam-quality content.
• Develop detailed explanations and rationales for answer choices, maintaining the clarity and precision expected in academic settings.
• Review and validate the technical accuracy and pedagogical quality of AI-generated mechanical engineering materials.
• Collaborate asynchronously with other subject matter experts and project coordinators to refine and improve content quality.
• Conduct quality checks, revisions, and enhancements on contributed materials based on feedback and project standards.
• Maintain thorough records of assignments and submissions using digital workflow tools provided for the engagement.

Qualifications

• PhD or MS in Mechanical Engineering, with current or previous university-level teaching experience (professor, adjunct, lecturer, or TA) in one or more core areas: Solid & Structural Mechanics, Dynamics & Vibration & Control, or Thermal-Fluids.
• Experience authoring, grading, or reviewing graduate-level exams, problem sets, or coursework.
• Demonstrated ability to convert complex mechanical engineering principles into clear, exam-ready written content.
• Background in assessment design, rubric development, or educational content creation.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; adept at articulating intricate concepts concisely and accurately.
• Meticulous attention to detail and commitment to technical accuracy in all deliverables.
• Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently in a remote, asynchronous project environment; familiarity with collaborative digital platforms is a plus.
