Overview
Mechanical Engineering Jobs in New York, NY at Alignerr
Title: Mechanical Engineering
Company: Alignerr
Location: New York, NY
Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer
About The Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more technically rigorous AI models — and we need mechanical engineers to make it happen. Your deep domain knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons through fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and more.
This is a unique opportunity to step beyond traditional engineering work and influence the next generation of AI technology — all from wherever you work best.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Advanced Engineering Problems — Craft complex, domain-specific challenges across FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that teach AI how to reason correctly through engineering problems
- Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (ASME, ISO, etc.)
- Identify & Correct Failures — Spot logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve AI reasoning
Who You Are
- Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational expertise in one or more core areas: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
- Able to communicate complex physical concepts and mathematical derivations clearly in written form
- Highly detail-oriented — precise with mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical review workflows
- Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
- Familiarity with evaluating computational simulations or AI-generated workflows
Why Join Us
- Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects with top-tier research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life
- Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
- Contribute to AI systems that will impact engineering and science globally
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
