Mechanical Engineering Expert (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.

As a Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer, you'll go deep into the technical core of advanced language models: designing challenging engineering problems, authoring gold-standard solutions, and exposing the reasoning gaps that hold AI back. Your expertise in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and beyond will directly shape how the next generation of AI understands the physical world.

This is a rare opportunity to apply your engineering knowledge in a high-impact, flexible freelance role — no commute, no rigid schedule, just meaningful technical work on your terms.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Design Advanced Engineering Problems — Craft complex, domain-spanning challenges across FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and material science to rigorously stress-test AI reasoning
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
  • Audit AI-Generated Technical Content — Review AI outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for accuracy, safety, and compliance with standards (ASME, ISO, etc.)
  • Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify and document logical failures — incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, flawed assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
