Job Description

Job Description Mechanical Engineering Expert Role Type: Contractor

Location: Global, Fully Remote

Schedule: ~15 hours/week, flexible

About the Role We're seeking a Mechanical Engineering Expert to support an AI training project involving engineering design, physical modeling, simulation, technical problem-solving, and Python. You'll solve, validate, and review structural, thermal, mechanical, and multiphysics engineering tasks. No prior AI experience is required.

Key Responsibilities

Solve and validate mechanical engineering problems involving design, analysis, simulation, and testing.

Translate engineering requirements into analytical and computational models.

Create and modify geometry, meshes, materials, loads, constraints, and solver inputs.

Perform structural, thermal, dynamic, fatigue, buckling, and vibration analyses.

Use Python to automate simulations, parameter sweeps, optimization, and post-processing.

Analyze stress, strain, displacement, temperature, deformation, frequency response, and safety factors.

Diagnose geometry, mesh, convergence, boundary-condition, and modeling issues.

Compare simulation results with calculations, experiments, and expected physical behavior.

Review AI-generated engineering solutions and develop reproducible reference solutions.
