This remote contract role asks mechanical engineers to build and check hard engineering problems that test how AI models reason about physical systems. The work includes writing reference solutions and reviewing AI-generated engineering outputs for accuracy and physical validity. It suits engineers with a graduate degree and solid technical expertise who can explain their reasoning clearly in writing.
This remote freelance role asks mechanical engineers to help train and evaluate AI models on complex engineering problems. Contributors design multi-domain challenges, write reference solutions, and check AI reasoning for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards. It suits engineers with a graduate degree who want to apply their expertise to AI development, and no prior AI experience is required.
This role involves creating challenging engineering problems and solutions that test AI model capabilities in mechanical reasoning and design. You'll write problems from your specialty, solve them yourself, verify the answers, and evaluate how well AI systems perform on real engineering tasks like component sizing, failure analysis, and design validation.
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.
This role consists of contributing to the training of AI models as a domain expert. You will interpret advanced technical drawings, geometric tolerance specifications, and construction documents to provide detailed feedback based on your practical experience. Your expertise in machining, construction, or mining operations will be key to ensuring that AI systems learn from authentic inputs that are faithful to the real world.
