About this job

This role involves creating rigorous mechanical engineering problems and solutions to train AI models to reason like practicing engineers. You will write verifiable problems from your specialty, derive correct answers, test them against AI systems, and review AI-generated engineering work for real-world applicability.

What you'll do

  • Write challenging closed-ended engineering problems that require real reasoning rather than lookups, with worked solutions showing derivation and verification.
  • Test problems against AI systems and refine them to better challenge the models.
  • Review AI-generated engineering analysis, designs, and technical documentation for correctness and practical applicability.
  • Review other contributors' problems and solutions for correctness, ambiguity, and rigor.

Requirements

Python
  • 2+ years of experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
