About Turing: Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Role Overview: We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Design & Analysis Expert with top-tier automotive or aerospace engineering pedigree to design datasets that will help our customers train and evaluate advanced AI models against real-world mechanical engineering workflows. You will turn complex physical engineering challenges—spanning conceptual 3D parametric CAD, CAE simulation (FEA, CFD), DFM/DFA, and physical testing—into structured test problems, define physical grading criteria, and diagnose why frontier AI models succeed or fail.
Experience:
15+ YOE in the field
Key Responsibilities
• Convert real-world mechanical engineering challenges into structured test scenarios with defined inputs, requirements, kinematic/geometric constraints, and verified golden reference solutions.
• Design clear scoring rubrics & programmatic validation rules for automated task verification by software engineers (e.g., verifying stress concentrations, mesh convergence, boundary conditions, tolerance stacks, GD&T; adherence).
• Assess the behavior of state-of-the-art AI agents to diagnose & analyse failure modes.
• Design and manage automated and human-expert-in-the-loop QA/QC workflows to ensure dataset quality.
• Recruit and coordinate teams of internal and external engineers to build and scale training and evaluation datasets. Required Skills/Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a closely related physical discipline.
• 15+ years of industry track record delivering hardware from concept to production in top-tier automotive, aerospace, or advanced precision engineering environments.
• Deep technical expertise across the end-to-end mechanical product lifecycle: 3D parametric CAD modeling, DFM/DFA, GD&T;, FEA/CFD simulation, prototype testing, and failure analysis (FMEA).
• Hands-on proficiency with industry-standard CAD and CAE tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, ANSYS, Altair HyperWorks, or Abaqus).
• Proven ability to formulate complex, open-ended mechanical workflows into structured, verifiable problem statements with clear physical ground-truth criteria.
• Demonstrated experience leading, mentoring, or coordinating distributed teams of engineers and technical contributors.
• Robust verbal & written English communication skills. Project Details:
