Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

About the Role

What if your engineering expertise could help shape the most advanced AI systems in the world? At Alignerr, we partner with leading AI research labs to build and train cutting-edge language models - and we need mechanical engineers who can push them to their limits.

You'll design challenging problems, audit AI reasoning, and write the gold-standard solutions that teach these models how to think like an expert. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of rigorous engineering and frontier AI development - fully remote, on your schedule.

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Engineering Problems
  - Craft advanced, multi-step problems spanning fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science that expose the edges of AI capability
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions
  - Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as the benchmark for AI learning and evaluation
• Audit AI Reasoning
  - Review AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic derivations, and material specifications for technical accuracy, engineering standards compliance (ASME, ISO), and safety
• Refine AI Thinking
  - Identify logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve model 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 in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
• Able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
• Detail-oriented - comfortable checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
• No prior AI or data annotation experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical review workflows
• Familiarity with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
• Background in teaching, tutoring, or technical writing

Why Join Us

• Work on frontier AI projects alongside top research labs - your expertise directly shapes how AI understands engineering
• Fully remote and flexible - work independently, asynchronously, on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with experts across the globe
• Meaningful work - your contributions set the technical standard for next-generation AI systems
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
