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 help make it happen.
As a Mechanical Engineering Expert, your deep knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more will directly shape how next-generation AI reasons through complex engineering problems. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence — without leaving your home.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-domain problems spanning FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science to rigorously stress-test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop detailed, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
- Audit AI Reasoning — Review AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards such as ASME and ISO
- Refine AI Thinking — Identify flaws in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions or energy conservation violations — and deliver structured feedback to improve model outputs
