Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

About the Role

AI is only as good as the experts who train it. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more reliable AI models - and we need mechanical engineers who can challenge them at the highest level.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your deep technical knowledge in a completely new way: designing hard problems, auditing AI reasoning, and helping shape how the next generation of AI understands engineering.

What You'll Do

• Design Advanced Engineering Problems
  - Craft challenging, domain-specific problems across fluid dynamics, FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, thermodynamics, and material science to rigorously stress-test AI performance
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions
  - Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
• Audit AI Reasoning
  - Evaluate AI-generated outputs - including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications - for technical accuracy, physical correctness, and adherence to engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.)
• Identify and Fix Reasoning 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 knowledge across one or more of: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and technical derivations clearly in written form
• Highly detail-oriented - precise with mathematical derivations, unit analysis, and physical constraints
• No prior AI experience required - your engineering expertise is what matters

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, technical writing, or evaluation workflows
• Proficiency in engineering tools such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Familiarity with reviewing or generating technical documentation

Why Join Us

• Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible - work on your own schedule, anywhere
• Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
• Contribute to AI systems that will impact how engineering knowledge is understood at scale
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
