Mechanical Engineering - AI Trainer

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. As an AI Trainer, you'll stress-test advanced language models on complex engineering problems, expose their reasoning failures, and help define what engineering-grade AI looks like.

This is a rare opportunity to step outside traditional engineering work and directly influence how the next generation of AI understands fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more.

What You'll Do

• Design Challenging Problems
  - Craft advanced engineering problems across domains like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to probe the limits of AI reasoning
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions
  - Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning
• Audit AI Outputs
  - Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards like ASME and ISO
• Refine AI Reasoning
  - Identify flawed reasoning - incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, unit errors - and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
• Work Independently
  - Complete task-based assignments on your own schedule, asynchronously
