  • Apply adversarial prompting techniques to surface gaps in model understanding

  • Provide expert-level feedback on model responses for Mechanical Engineering

  • Collaborate with project leads to maintain high quality and consistency standards

What We're Looking For

  • PhD or MS in Mechanical Engineering or closely related fields like civil, aerospace, structural, and chemical engineering.

  • Solid understanding of mechanical engineering principles, design practices, and simulation tools.

  • Prior experience with prompt engineering and stumping expert level models (max reasoning/tokens)

  • Prior experience inducing/identifying reasoning related errors.

  • Excellent attention to detail, especially in technical communication and numerical accuracy.

  • Based out of the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, or Spain

Extra Credit

  • Experience with Research, CAD tools, FEA, CFD, or robotics systems.

  • Teaching, tutoring, or curriculum development experience in mechanical engineering.

  • Prior experience as an expert reviewer on AI data labeling projects

  • Publications or technical writing in engineering disciplines.

Additional Information

  • Location: Fully remote (no visa sponsorship available)

Schedule: Flexible hours — contribute as much or as little as you’d like each week. (No minimum hours per week, capped at 40hrs/week.)
