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 use your deep domain knowledge to challenge, test, and refine how AI reasons through complex engineering problems.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence, contributing directly to the next generation of technical AI systems all on a flexible, remote contract basis.
Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: Fully RemoteCommitment: 1040 hours/week
What You'll Do
Design Complex Engineering Problems Craft advanced, multi-step problems spanning fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and materials science to rigorously stress-test AI capabilitiesAuthor Ground-Truth Solutions Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for AI learning and evaluationAudit AI Reasoning Review and evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, physical validity, and adherence to engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)Identify & Correct Reasoning Failures Spot logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed unit analysis, and provide structured feedback to improve how the model thinksDocument Failure Modes Systematically record model weaknesses to help research teams harden AI reasoning across mechanical engineering domains
