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.
A mechanical designer writes rigorous engineering problems and solutions to train AI models to reason like practicing engineers. You'll create challenging, closed-ended technical problems from your specialty, verify correct answers, test them against AI systems, and review AI-generated engineering work for real-world applicability.
This role involves training and evaluating AI agents that perform mechanical engineering tasks within a CAD environment. You will design part geometry, create reference solutions, and assess how well the AI completes complex engineering work that would normally take an expert many hours.
