Mechanical Engineering Expert

The work

You will complete practical mechanical engineering tasks that support product development and help create or evaluate expert-quality work for AI training. Projects cover design, documentation, analysis, and product development from early concepts through production-ready designs.

• Create, review, and improve mechanical designs and CAD models for components, assemblies, and systems.
• Develop detailed engineering drawings, bills of materials, and technical documentation to manufacturing standards.
• Perform stress, tolerance, and design for manufacturability assessments.
• Support product development from concept through prototype and production-ready design.
• Document design decisions, assumptions, and methods clearly so the work can be reproduced.

What it pays and takes

This is a remote, project-based contractor role with asynchronous work. Accepted projects are expected to run over the next 2 to 3 weeks and require 10 to 20 hours per week.

• Pay: $88 per hour.
• Location: Remote, open to candidates in the countries listed for this role.
• Language: Professional fluency in English.
• Experience: 2 to 4 years in mechanical engineering, product design, or a related field.
• Education: A bachelor's degree or higher in mechanical engineering, product design, or a related engineering field.
• CAD: Strong proficiency in at least one major platform, such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, CATIA, NX, or an equivalent tool.
• Requirements: Ability to produce detailed mechanical designs and engineering drawings to industry standards, solve technical problems, and work independently.
• Helpful background: FEA or simulation tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or SolidWorks Simulation.
• Helpful background: CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, or additive manufacturing.
• Helpful background: Hardware startups, product development firms, systems integration, mechatronics, or electromechanical product design.

About AI training work

AI training is the human work behind artificial intelligence, including preparing, reviewing, and evaluating examples that help models perform better. People with engineering expertise are needed when the work requires accurate technical designs, analysis, and judgments.
