Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI systems — and we need mechanical engineers to make it happen. As a Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer, you'll put your deep domain expertise to work designing challenging problems, auditing AI reasoning, and helping next-generation models think like real engineers.
This is a rare opportunity to directly influence how AI understands and applies the physical world — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and beyond.
Position Details
* Organization: Alignerr
* Type: Hourly Contract
* Location: Remote
* Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
* Design Advanced Engineering Problems — Create rigorous, multi-step problems across domains like FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to stress-test AI performance at the frontier of technical reasoning.
* Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop detailed, step-by-step benchmark solutions that AI models use as a gold standard for learning and evaluation.
* Audit AI Technical Reasoning — Review AI-generated outputs — including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications — for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).
* Refine Model Thinking — Identify flaws in AI reasoning such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation errors, or invalid assumptions, and provide structured feedback that meaningfully improves model performance.
Who You Are
* Advanced Degree: Master's (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
* Deep Domain Knowledge: Strong foundational expertise in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes.
* Clear Technical Communicator: Able to articulate complex physical phenomena and engineering reasoning in precise, well-structured written form.
* Detail-Oriented: High precision when reviewing mathematical derivations, unit analysis, and physical system constraints.
* No prior AI experience required — if you understand engineering, we’ll handle the rest.
Bonus Points
* Experience with data annotation, technical evaluation, or quality assurance workflows
* Proficiency in engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
* Familiarity with evaluating simulation outputs or computational workflows
