Expert Contributor - Mechanical Engineering

Task-Based Independent Contractor Opportunity

Overview

We're looking for Mechanical Engineering experts who can design and solve challenging, real-world reasoning tasks that test the limits of advanced AI systems. You'll create high-quality mechanical engineering problems, develop rigorous solutions, and help identify exactly where models stumble in scientific reasoning. The focus is on graduate-level difficulty, scientific precision, and reproducible evaluation. If you're the kind of person who geeks out over complex thermodynamics or structural analysis problems, keep reading.

Key Responsibilities
Design graduate-level, multi-step mechanical engineering problems with exact, fully worked solutions.
Evaluate AI-generated engineering reasoning and identify where models fail or produce flawed analysis.
Create problems spanning thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, dynamics, and structural analysis.
Develop reproducible solution paths and evaluation criteria for each deliverable.
Review and critique competing solution approaches across multi-turn evaluation sessions.




Collaborate asynchronously with the project team on problem calibration and quality standards.

Required Qualifications
Deep fluency in Mechanical Engineering, with the ability to create graduate-level, multi-step analytical problems and produce precise, fully worked solutions.
Proficiency with 3-D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360, or similar).
Solid review instincts with the ability to identify subtle scientific errors and evaluate competing solution paths.
Master's or PhD candidate, or graduate, in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
2+ years of qualified or academic experience in mechanical engineering practice or research.

Preferred Qualifications
Background in academic research, university-level instruction, advanced problem writing, laboratory science, or technical scientific communication.
Familiarity with grading rubrics, olympiad- or exam-style question design, or evaluating AI-generated scientific reasoning.
Experience with FEA/CFD simulation tools (ANSYS, COMSOL, OpenFOAM, etc.).
PE licensure or EIT certification is a plus.
