Overview
Mechanical Engineering Expert – AI Content Specialist Jobs in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom at Alignerr
Title: Mechanical Engineering Expert – AI Content Specialist
Company: Alignerr
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
We're looking for mechanical engineering specialists to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your deep technical knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and FEA.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the frontier of AI development, applying your hard-earned expertise in a flexible, remote freelance role.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-domain mechanical engineering challenges across areas like finite element analysis (FEA), heat transfer, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that serve as the gold standard for AI learning
- Audit AI Technical Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
- Refine AI Reasoning Processes — Identify logical errors such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions, and provide structured feedback to improve how AI models "think"
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's degree (in progress or completed) or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational expertise in one or more core domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, mechatronics, or manufacturing processes
- Able to communicate complex technical concepts and physical phenomena clearly and precisely in written form
- Highly detail-oriented with a sharp eye for mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
- No prior AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed
Nice to Have
- Prior experience in data annotation, data quality assurance, or technical evaluation workflows
- Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS, or similar tools
- Familiarity with industry standards like ASME, ISO, or ASTM
Why Join Us
- Work on some of the most advanced AI projects in the world alongside leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work at your own pace
- Apply your engineering expertise in a novel, high-impact way
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global community of domain experts
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
