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 calls for mechanical design engineers to contribute to training next-generation AI systems. You will use your expertise in CAD and manufacturing to create detailed models, interpret professional drawings, and optimize parts for production. No prior AI experience is required: your domain knowledge in mechanical engineering is the decisive asset.
