Key Responsibilities

  • Create mechanical engineering problems at graduate and professional levels that reflect real-world applications
  • Review AI-generated solutions for technical correctness, logical consistency, and valid assumptions
  • Use Python tools such as NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas to verify numerical and analytical outputs
  • Strengthen AI reasoning by aligning outputs with first principles and industry-accepted standards
  • Apply structured evaluation methods to judge multi-step engineering solutions

Qualifications

Candidates must hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline, such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, or Computational Mechanics. A minimum of three years of professional engineering experience is required, along with advanced written English proficiency (C1/C2 level). Strong Python skills are essential for validating technical computations. A reliable internet connection is necessary to support collaboration and task delivery.

Preferred applicants may hold professional credentials such as PE or CEng, or have experience working on international or applied engineering projects.

Technical Environment

The role relies on Python-based tools including NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas for numerical analysis and data validation.

Work and Compensation

This is a part-time, non-permanent engagement with flexible scheduling. Workload varies by project phase, typically ranging from 10 to 20 hours per week when active. Hourly compensation is equivalent to $50, with rates adjusted based on project scope, complexity, and required expertise. There is no guaranteed minimum workload.
