How to apply to Fleet AI

Who can join

• For the legal role: US legal practice as an attorney or senior paralegal, with substantive research, drafting, or document review. Bar admission is a plus, not a requirement. The role is for the United States only, and Fleet can't sponsor work authorization.
• For the mechanical engineering role: professional mechanical engineering experience, including designs taken through analysis, validation, or production, and hands-on use of CAD or simulation tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion, FEA, or CFD software. It is open worldwide.
• Time for a remote contract of at least 20 hours a week: both roles state a minimum of 20 hours per week.
• Clear writing about your reasoning. The legal role asks that you can explain why a conclusion holds, where the evidence falls short, and why an error matters; the engineering role asks for clear technical writing that explains the result and the reasoning behind it.

Step by step

1. 1

   Choose one of its contract roles

   Fleet's careers page lists its contract engagements for experts beside its own staff roles. On 30 October 2026 there were two: Legal Specialist (Attorney or Paralegal), US only, with applications open through March 1, 2027, and Mechanical Engineering Specialist, open worldwide.

2. 2

   Fill in the form on the role's page

   Give your full name, email and LinkedIn profile, upload your resume as a PDF under 10 MB, and answer the role's screening questions. Both roles ask your country of residence; the legal role also asks whether you are licensed to practice law, which best describes your current legal role, your years of post-JD legal experience, your primary practice area, and the hours a week you can commit over the coming months.

3. 3

   Legal role: the online assessment

   Complete a short, unpaid online assessment (up to 90 minutes) reviewing a legal task. Instructions are given before you start. Fleet's form can email you a link to start your assessment as soon as it has your application, so check your inbox and spam. An optional quick call follows if you have questions.

4. 4

   Mechanical role: a conversation, then a take-home exercise

   An initial conversation comes first, then a take-home engineering exercise, designed to take no more than three hours. Instructions are given before you start, and your submission is used only to assess fit.

5. 5

   Onboarding and the engagement's terms

   Scope, deliverables, fees, and an end date are agreed in writing before work starts, and so are any extensions. Work begins as soon as you're onboarded, and a Fleet project contact answers scoping questions and reviews your deliverables.

6. 6

   Do the work

   Legal projects can ask for a legal assignment with a case file, a reference memo, brief or diligence report that answers it, grading criteria tied to the case file and the governing law, and reviews of AI-generated work that flag errors in reasoning, facts, citations, or conclusions. Engineering projects can ask for an engineering problem with its inputs, constraints and files, a reference solution (CAD models, drawings, calculations or simulation results), a short write-up of assumptions, boundary conditions, tradeoffs, and limitations, criteria for judging a solution, and reviews of AI-generated work.

Tips to get accepted

• Apply on Fleet's own careers page: job boards still list a $50/hr generalist Fleet Fellow role that is no longer on Fleet's site.
• Have your resume as a PDF under 10 MB: the form takes no other format.
• If the form says it emailed you a link, open it: Fleet sends a secure link to finish an application it could not submit, or to start your assessment.
• Get the scope, deliverables, fees and end date in writing before you start, and any extension too: both postings say they are agreed before work begins.
• On the legal role, keep receipts for the AI tools you use for the work: reasonable AI tool subscriptions are reimbursed.
