An enterprise client is seeking CFD & Aerodynamic Engineers to help train and evaluate next-generation AI systems by contributing real-world engineering expertise.
This opportunity is offered by a leading AI data platform that enables organizations to build intelligent applications powered by high-quality human expertise.
Job Description
This opportunity is ideal for experienced CFD and Aerodynamics Engineers who enjoy solving complex engineering problems and want to contribute their expertise to the development of advanced AI systems.
What You'll Do:
- Design compact, self-contained CFD and aerodynamics tasks that evaluate AI models' engineering reasoning.
- Create clear and technically accurate problem statements covering topics such as boundary conditions, mesh quality, flow regimes, and simulation setup.
- Develop deterministic scoring checkers that objectively evaluate AI-generated responses.
- Produce verified reference solutions to ensure each task is technically accurate and fully solvable.
- Review and refine engineering tasks to improve clarity, physical accuracy, and appropriate difficulty.
- Apply real-world experience with OpenFOAM to develop practical and realistic engineering scenarios.
- Work independently in a fully remote, asynchronous environment with complete scheduling flexibility.
