We are looking to expand our team of expert consultants with 10 automotive mechanical engineers for part-time, fully-remote work supporting frontier AI research. Projects pay $80–115 USD per hour, with higher rates for experts with tenure at well recognized OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, or motorsport programs.
This role includes designing original engineering problems from scratch, stress-testing leading AI models on those problems, and evaluating whether the models' assumptions, calculations, design choices, and cited standards are correct, complete, and consistent with how the work is actually done.
