Pay data for your profession: Engineering AI trainer jobs

How this pay compares

The title points to rating and reviewing ai output: judging a model's answers or code against guidelines, such as which of two is better or whether one is correct and safe. What each kind of AI training work pays

At $115/hr (the midpoint of $100 to $130), this role pays more than 84% of the 207 open engineering roles with a listed pay range, above the median of $80.

Among platforms with 10 or more priced engineering roles, Mercor has the highest median ($88/hr across 35 roles) and micro1 the lowest ($60/hr across 28).

OpenTrain AI roles that closed since late October stayed listed a median of 31 days (122 roles). OpenTrain AI posted this one 4 days ago.

Computed from 2,746 open roles we track across Mercor, micro1, Handshake AI, Alignerr, Appen and OpenTrain AI, refreshed daily. Midpoints of listed ranges; “up to” ceilings are left out of medians.

The work

Create and assess expert aerospace engineering material used to evaluate AI model judgment. Your work turns engineering reasoning into realistic scenarios, reference answers, and reviews of model outputs.

  • Write aerospace scenarios that cover work from requirements through design review.
  • Create reference answers that explain the engineering reasoning behind decisions.
  • Rate model outputs for technical accuracy and compliance with applicable standards.
  • Spot designs that seem credible but would fail in flight.

What it pays and takes

  • Pay: $100 to $130 per hour, paid weekly via Stripe.
  • Schedule: Ongoing work with a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week and no maximum. There are no fixed hours, and the workload can change from week to week.
  • Location: Fully remote and open to candidates in supported countries.
  • Work type: Independent contractor.
  • Education: A degree in aerospace engineering or a closely related field.
  • Specialty: Depth in at least one area such as aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, or guidance, navigation, and control.
  • Communication: Clear written English and the ability to document engineering decisions.
  • Helpful experience: Flight test or wind tunnel programs, tools such as NASTRAN, ANSYS, or computational fluid dynamics codes, or airworthiness and certification work involving FAA or EASA standards.
