We are sharing a full-time opportunity for experienced Mechanical Engineers with strong expertise in mechanical design, engineering analysis, manufacturing, thermal and fluid systems, structural evaluation, and technical problem-solving to support advanced AI research and model-evaluation initiatives.
Selected professionals will apply real-world engineering judgement to review mechanical-engineering tasks and AI-generated outputs, develop instruction specifications and reference solutions, and create challenging evaluations grounded in authentic industry practice.
The role is designed for practising engineers who have owned real designs, analyses, or systems rather than generalist reviewers.
Key Responsibilities
Mechanical Engineering
Review & Quality Assurance
Review mechanical-engineering tasks and AI-generated outputs for technical accuracy
Identify incorrect assumptions, missing constraints, unit errors, and tolerance issues
Flag unsafe or impractical design choices
Assess whether proposed solutions would withstand professional design review
Provide precise written feedback explaining technical weaknesses and corrections
Instruction Specifications & Reference Solutions
Write clear instruction specifications for mechanical-engineering tasks
Develop worked reference solutions demonstrating correct engineering approaches
Define assumptions, constraints, calculations, and expected outputs
Create realistic problems reflecting professional engineering workflows
Translate practical engineering judgement into explicit evaluation criteria
Mechanical Design & Engineering Analysis
Develop and evaluate tasks involving mechanical design and product development
Apply expertise across thermal, fluid, structural, stress, and manufacturing scenarios
Review FEA, CFD, drawings, specifications, and engineering calculations where relevant
Assess design choices against real-world performance and production requirements
Apply appropriate engineering standards and design-review practices
Benchmarks & Technical Evaluation
Design challenging benchmarks that test advanced mechanical-engineering reasoning
Develop evaluation sets spanning design, manufacturing, controls, and system analysis
Identify edge cases that distinguish robust reasoning from plausible but incorrect answers
Support development of domain-specific engineering evaluation tools
Help measure model performance against professional engineering standards
Research Collaboration & Calibration
Collaborate with researchers and specialists across adjacent engineering disciplines
Participate in calibration activities to maintain consistent evaluation standards
Explain technical decisions, trade-offs, and failure modes clearly
Convert tacit engineering experience into repeatable assessment criteria
Support continuous refinement of engineering tasks, benchmarks, and reference materials
Ideal Profile
Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline
5+ years of hands-on professional mechanical-engineering experience
Experience in areas such as product development, thermal and fluid systems, HVAC, structural or stress analysis, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, energy, robotics, or medical devices
Demonstrated ownership of real engineering designs, analyses, components, or systems
Experience with FEA, CFD, engineering drawings, specifications, testing, or production workflows
Working proficiency with tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Creo, AutoCAD, ANSYS, Abaqus, or MATLAB
Familiarity with relevant standards such as ASME, ASTM, ISO, and GD&T per ASME Y14.5
Clear progression toward senior or lead engineering responsibility
Professional Engineer (PE) licensure is advantageous but not required
Hands-on professional use of large language models and ability to distinguish strong reasoning from plausible technical errors
Excellent written communication and structured technical-feedback skills
Strong practical engineering judgement grounded in industry experience
Engagement Details
Full-time engagement
Remote — United States only
Compensation: $60–$90/hour
Expected commitment is 40 hours per week
Initial engagement is approximately 2–3 months , with a strong possibility of extension based on performance and project needs
Work will involve mechanical-engineering review, reference-solution development, benchmark design, technical evaluation, and research collaboration
Assignments may span mechanical design, thermal and fluid systems, structural analysis, manufacturing, controls, and related engineering domains
Client-issued accounts and equipment may be provided for project work
Strong real-world engineering ownership and practical design-review experience are central to this role
Project scope, engineering domains, evaluation criteria, and technical priorities may evolve depending on research requirements
