Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist

Chicago

**About The Job** At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. You'll challenge advanced language models on topics like fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and mechatronics---documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning. **Organization** : Alignerr **Position** : Mechanical Engineering Expert - AI Content Specialist **Type** : Hourly Contract **Compensation** : $35--$60 /hour **Location** : Remote **Commitment** : 10--40 hours/week **What You'll Do** * Develop Complex Problems: Design advanced mechanical engineering problems across domains like 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" that the AI will use as a benchmark for learning. * Technical Auditing: Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and adherence to engineering 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: Masters (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field. * Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in core areas such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes. * Analytical Writing: The 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. * Collaborate with a team working on cutting-edge AI projects. * Exposure to advanced LLMs and how they're trained. * Freelance perks: autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration. * Potential for contract extension. **Application Process (Takes 15-20 min)** * Submit your resume * Complete a short screening * Project matching and onboarding *PS: Our team reviews applications daily. Please complete your AI interview and application steps to be considered for this opportunity.*
