Position

Mechanical Engineering Expert – AI Content Specialist
Hourly Contract – $35‑$60 /hour
Remote, 10‑40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Develop complex mechanical engineering problems across domains such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, kinematics, and material science to test AI performance.
• Author ground‑truth solutions: create rigorous, step‑by‑step technical solutions and “golden responses” for AI benchmarking.
• Perform technical auditing: evaluate AI‑generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).
• Refine reasoning: identify logical fallacies in AI reasoning—such as incorrect force distributions or energy‑conservation violations—and provide structured feedback to improve the model’s thinking process.

Requirements

• Advanced Degree: Master’s (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Domain Expertise: strong foundational knowledge in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes.
• Analytical Writing: ability to communicate highly technical concepts and complex physical phenomena clearly and concisely in written form.
• Attention to Detail: high level of precision when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints.
• No AI experience required.

Preferred

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems.
• Proficiency in engineering software concepts (e.g., SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS) to evaluate AI‑generated code or workflows.

Why Join Us

• Competitive pay and flexible remote work.
• Collaboration with a team working on cutting‑edge AI projects.
• Exposure to advanced LLMs and their training processes.
• Freelance perks: autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration.
• Potential for contract extension.
