Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer

About The Role

We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more reliable AI systems — and we need mechanical engineers to make it happen. As a Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer, you'll use your deep technical expertise to challenge, evaluate, and improve how advanced AI models reason through complex engineering problems.

This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence — contributing directly to the next generation of AI tools used by engineers and researchers worldwide.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design Advanced Engineering Problems —
  • Craft challenging problems across fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
  • Author Gold-Standard Solutions —
  • Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI training and evaluation
  • Audit AI Reasoning —
  • Review AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.)
  • Refine Model Thinking —
  • Identify and document logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed structural assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model quality
  • Document Failure Modes —
  • Systematically capture how and where AI models break down so engineering teams can address weaknesses

Who You Are

• Advanced Degree —
  • Master's (in progress or completed) or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related discipline
  • Deep Domain Knowledge —
  • Strong foundational expertise in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
  • Technical Communicator —
  • Able to explain complex physical phenomena and mathematical reasoning clearly and concisely in writing
  • Precision-Oriented —
  • High attention to detail when reviewing derivations, unit conversions, boundary conditions, and physical constraints
  • No AI experience required —
  • Your engineering expertise is what matters

Nice to Have
