About the role

Compensation: $70 - $80 per hour

We are seeking senior mechanical engineering professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 enterprise product design and manufacturing contexts.

  • The workflows are calibrated to the design complexity, safety stakes, and production scale of Fortune 500 and large industrial manufacturers.
  • This role builds worlds on two standards tracks: a US track (ASME) and an International track (ISO). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
  • Contributors design enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior F500 engineering leaders think.

Key Responsibilities

  • Construct enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios spanning complex product design cycles, multi-stakeholder design reviews, and manufacturing or regulatory certification processes at F500 accounts.
  • Build tasks across F500 product design and CAD modeling, thermal/fluid systems analysis, structural and stress analysis, manufacturing process engineering, and reliability/failure analysis.
  • Develop engineering scenarios involving tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, CATIA, MATLAB/Simulink, and enterprise PLM systems (Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill) in F500 stacks.
  • Apply enterprise mechanical engineering methodologies (FEA/CFD simulation, DFM/DFA principles, Six Sigma/DFSS, GD&T per ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS) and produce reference design specifications, engineering analyses, and executive-level technical narratives.
  • Author rubrics that distinguish authentic enterprise mechanical engineering judgment from generic textbook or coursework-level recall.

Ideal Qualifications

  • 5+ years working as a mechanical engineer or engineering lead at a Fortune 500 or major industrial, automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing company (GE, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Honeywell, Siemens, Bosch, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries).
  • Direct ownership of large-scale product designs, manufacturing processes, or engineering certification programs.
  • Fluency in enterprise mechanical engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how safety standards, regulatory certification (ASME, ISO, FAA, FDA), and cross-functional design governance actually work.
  • A professional engineering credential (US PE or an international equivalent such as CEng or EUR ING) and prior rubric, engineering-training curriculum, or design documentation authorship are a plus.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Contract and Payment Terms

  • You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
  • This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
  • Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
  • Your work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
  • Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
  • Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
