Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Crossing Hurdles is seeking a Mechanical Engineering Expert for a contract role focused on solving and validating mechanical-engineering problems. The role involves modeling physical systems, conducting mechanical analyses and simulations, automating engineering workflows with Python, and reviewing AI-generated engineering solutions.
Responsibilities
- Solve and validate mechanical-engineering problems involving design, analysis, simulation, testing, or R&D
- Translate physical systems and engineering requirements into analytical or computational models
- Create or modify geometry, meshes, materials, loads, contacts, constraints, and solver inputs
- Perform structural, thermal, dynamic, fatigue, buckling, vibration, or related analyses
- Use Python to automate model preparation, simulation, parameter sweeps, optimization, postprocessing, and verification
- Review AI-generated engineering solutions and identify reasoning errors, incorrect assumptions, and violated physical constraints
Skills
- An MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline
- Strong understanding of applied mechanics and mechanical-engineering fundamentals
- Experience developing analytical, computational, or simulation-based engineering solutions
- Practical proficiency with Python
- Experience with at least one mechanical-engineering, geometry, meshing, or simulation tool that can be operated through a CLI, scripting interface, configuration files, or programmatic API
Benefits
- Remote work
