Remote | Mechanical Engineering Expert — $60–$100/hour

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Mechanical Engineering professionals with strong expertise in engineering mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, structural analysis, vibrations, manufacturing, simulation, and R&D to contribute to an advanced AI training and mechanical-engineering evaluation project.

Selected professionals will solve and review advanced mechanical-engineering problems, assess AI-generated technical responses, analyse realistic design and R&D scenarios, and provide rigorous feedback grounded in professional engineering practice. No prior experience in AI is required.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical, Thermal & Fluid Analysis

• Solve advanced mechanical-engineering problems using first-principles reasoning
• Analyse statics, dynamics, loads, stresses, deformation, and structural behaviour
• Evaluate thermodynamic systems, energy balances, heat transfer, and thermal performance
• Analyse fluid-flow behaviour, pressure, velocity, losses, and related assumptions
• Assess boundary conditions, constraints, modelling choices, and alternative solution approaches

Simulation, Vibrations & Engineering Design

• Review FEA and simulation setups, including meshes, loads, constraints, and material assumptions
• Evaluate structural and thermal results against analytical calculations or expected physical behaviour
• Analyse vibration, resonance, damping, natural frequencies, and dynamic response
• Incorporate manufacturing, product-development, reliability, and practical design considerations
• Identify modelling errors, unrealistic assumptions, or opportunities to improve robustness and manufacturability

AI Evaluation & Technical Review

• Review AI-generated mechanical-engineering responses for technical correctness and completeness
• Identify calculation errors, weak assumptions, or flawed engineering reasoning
• Compare alternative approaches and distinguish substantive issues from acceptable solutions
• Provide clear, structured written feedback supporting model improvement
• Collaborate remotely with other subject-matter experts and project participants

Ideal Profile

• MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, or BS in Mechanical Engineering with 8+ years of relevant industry experience
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, analysis, or R&D
• Strong expertise in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer
• Demonstrated proficiency with FEA, structural analysis, and vibration or dynamic-system analysis
• Ability to combine finite-element methods, hand calculations, and experimental validation
• Familiarity with manufacturing and product-development environments
• Knowledge of ASME BPVC, related ASME codes, and design-for-reliability practices is advantageous
• Experience with ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, or comparable simulation tools is valuable
• Familiarity with CAD platforms is beneficial
• Strong analytical, critical-thinking, and technical communication skills
• Evidence of rigorous technical-review or problem-authoring experience, including standards work, publications, awards, research recognition, or comparable achievements, is highly valued
• No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote
• Displayed compensation range: $60–$100/hour
• Actual compensation structure is output-based, with payment made per task that meets project specifications
• Task completion time may vary depending on experience and workflow
• Minimum weekly submission requirements apply; the source does not specify the exact number of required tasks
• Work will involve engineering mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, FEA, vibrations, manufacturing, technical analysis, and AI-generated engineering-content evaluation
• Roles are typically filled within approximately 48 hours
• Selected experts are expected to begin initial tasks within approximately 24–48 hours after onboarding
• Project scope, workload, engineering topics, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
• Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, manufacturer, research institution, engineering organisation, or other third party
