About the role

We create high-quality STEM training data for frontier AI models. Our data is used directly in training and evaluation pipelines at leading AI labs to improve model reasoning in technical domains.

We are looking for experts in Mechanical Engineering to design rigorous, deterministic problems that are genuinely challenging for state-of-the-art AI systems. Each problem must have exactly one verifiable correct answer and be submitted together with a complete, verified solution.

What you’ll do

Design advanced mechanical engineering problems for frontier AI training and evaluation

Create deterministic problems with exactly one correct answer

Write complete, verified solutions and clearly document the reasoning process

Develop problems that test engineering analysis and multi-step reasoning, not just memorization

Work across areas such as mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics, and mechanical systems

Where relevant, use Python, MATLAB, CAD/CAE tools, or specialized engineering software to validate solutions

Ensure all outputs are technically precise, reproducible, and well-written in English

What we’re looking for

Master’s or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field

Strong research or industry experience involving mechanical systems, engineering analysis, simulation, or mathematical modeling

Strong quantitative and problem-solving skills

Familiarity with numerical methods and computational engineering

Ability to design original, difficult problems that mirror real mechanical engineering workflows

Excellent attention to detail and technical writing skills in English

Nice to have

Experience with MATLAB, Python, ANSYS, Abaqus, SolidWorks, COMSOL, or similar tools

Background in finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, optimization, or simulation

Experience designing technical assessments, evaluating model reasoning, or developing engineering educational content
