Remote | Licensed Mechanical Engineer & AI Evaluation Specialist — $60–$85/hour

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for licensed US mechanical engineers with professional experience in mechanical design, thermodynamics, HVAC, manufacturing, technical documentation, and industry-standard engineering tools.

This role supports an AI research initiative focused on improving how advanced systems understand and reason about mechanical engineering topics. Selected professionals will evaluate written and AI-generated content, answer technical questions, identify relevant reference materials, and provide practical insight into real-world mechanical engineering workflows, standards, and professional decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Engineering Content Evaluation

• Review written content and AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, relevance, and professional quality
• Assess whether calculations, analyses, recommendations, and conclusions reflect sound mechanical engineering practice
• Identify incorrect assumptions, design errors, omitted constraints, and technical inconsistencies
• Evaluate content within the candidate's strongest areas of mechanical engineering expertise

Domain-Specific Analysis

• Answer mechanical engineering questions using clear, well-reasoned technical explanations
• Apply professional judgment to thermodynamics, HVAC, mechanical design, structural analysis, and manufacturing scenarios
• Assess whether responses account for material properties, loading conditions, operating environments, tolerances, and safety requirements
• Provide corrections and supporting rationale where content requires improvement

Codes, Standards & Reference Review

• Review the application of relevant engineering codes and standards, including ASME guidance
• Identify reliable technical references appropriate to assigned engineering topics
• Assess whether cited methods, equations, and assumptions suit the relevant design or operating context
• Highlight safety, regulatory, technical, and procedural considerations affecting engineering decisions

Engineering Workflows & Tools

• Share insight into practical mechanical engineering workflows, documentation, and quality-control processes
• Evaluate content involving SolidWorks, ANSYS, AutoCAD, or comparable engineering tools
• Review technical specifications, calculations, drawings, design reports, and training materials
• Collaborate asynchronously with a small group of subject-matter experts across different fields

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

• At least 2 years of professional mechanical engineering experience
• An active Professional Engineer licence in the United States
• Experience in thermodynamics, HVAC, mechanical or structural design, manufacturing, or multiple mechanical engineering areas
• Strong familiarity with relevant engineering codes, technical standards, and professional documentation
• Practical experience using SolidWorks, ANSYS, AutoCAD, or similar engineering tools
• Professional working proficiency in English
• Strong written communication, technical reasoning, and attention to detail
• Reliable availability for approximately 10 hours per week
• Based in the United States

Educational Background

• A degree in mechanical engineering from a recognised institution is required
• An active US Professional Engineer licence is required
• Advanced study or professional training in thermodynamics, HVAC, mechanical design, manufacturing, or a related area may strengthen an application
• Continuing education involving engineering standards, simulation tools, design methods, or manufacturing processes may also be valuable

Nice to Have

• Experience across more than one mechanical engineering discipline
• Background preparing technical specifications, design documentation, calculations, or training materials
• Familiarity with finite-element analysis, computational simulation, or product-development workflows
• Experience reviewing or mentoring the work of junior engineers
• Knowledge of engineering quality assurance, peer review, design verification, or validation
• Comfort using AI tools such as ChatGPT or comparable systems
• Previous experience with content evaluation, structured feedback, or AI training projects
• A portfolio of completed mechanical, manufacturing, HVAC, or industrial engineering work

Why This Opportunity

• Apply professional mechanical engineering expertise to advanced AI research
• Help improve the accuracy and usefulness of AI-generated engineering content
• Share practical insight into real-world tools, standards, calculations, and workflows
• Contribute within the mechanical engineering area most closely aligned with your experience
• Collaborate with subject-matter experts across multiple professional fields
• Participate in a flexible remote engagement with potential for continued work

Contract Details

• Part-time W-2 contingent employment opportunity
• Fully remote within the United States
• Expected commitment of approximately 10 hours per week
• Competitive rates between $60–$85 per hour depending on expertise and project scope
• Work may include content evaluation, technical question answering, reference review, and structured feedback
• Engagement scope and duration may evolve according to project requirements and performance
