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 expert mechanical engineers to make it happen.

As a Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer, you'll use your deep domain knowledge to challenge, evaluate, and improve how advanced AI systems reason through complex engineering problems. From fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and FEA, your expertise will directly shape the next generation of AI.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and artificial intelligence — without leaving your desk.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-domain problems spanning FEA, heat transfer, kinematics, material science, and mechatronics to rigorously test AI performance
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI learning and evaluation
  • Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
  • Identify & Correct Failures — Spot logical flaws in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or faulty stress analyses — and provide structured feedback to improve model accuracy
  • Improve Model Thinking — Help AI systems develop stronger, more reliable reasoning processes across core mechanical engineering domains

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.
