Aerodynamics Expert, CFD Technical Reviewer

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the #1 platform for finding and building careers in AI training and data labeling. We help freelancers discover projects, build a unified proof-of-work profile, and grow a durable portfolio of expert contributions that demonstrate real technical experience.

As the hiring organization for this role, OpenTrain connects domain experts directly to AI training work and manages contracting, onboarding, and quality standards so you can focus on delivering technical insight.

• Work remotely and build a lasting portfolio of AI training contributions.
• Manage your opportunities, track proof-of-work, and grow your profile on one platform.

Why AI Training Work Matters

AI systems learn from high-quality human examples: labeled documents, expert evaluations, and concise summaries. Aerodynamics expertise is essential when models must understand technical engineering results, CFD outputs, and domain-specific reasoning.

This role places you at the intersection of engineering and AI — your reviews and distilled explanations become training data that improves how future models reason about fluid mechanics, thermofluids, and aerospace problems.

• Contribute to state-of-the-art AI by turning technical knowledge into clear, machine‑usable data.
• Flexible, remote work that fits alongside consulting, research, or full‑time roles.

The Role

OpenTrain is recruiting an Aerodynamics Expert to provide specialized technical review, evaluation, and summarization of aerodynamic and CFD documents for AI training projects. This is contract, part-time work with a minimum commitment of 20+ hours/week.

You will translate experimental and theoretical results into clear, actionable guidance and high-quality training labels so models can learn practical engineering reasoning and documentation practices.

• Employment type: Contractor, Part-time.
• Time requirement: 20+ hours per week (remote, worldwide).
• Compensation: $80–$100 USD per hour (PAY_PER_HOUR).
• Work data type: Technical documents; label types include evaluation/rating and text summarization.

What You'll Do

You'll apply your aerodynamics and CFD knowledge across document review, quality assurance, and content refinement tasks. Work is primarily document-based and focused on producing high-quality evaluations and summaries that feed model training pipelines.

• Review aerodynamic problems and provide detailed technical feedback.
• Distill technical documentation for clarity and precision.
• Refine educational and technical materials to improve their suitability as training data.
• Perform peer review and quality assurance on technical content and labeling workflows.
• Collaborate with distributed teams to optimize standards and best practices.
• Translate complex engineering results into actionable knowledge for model development.

Requirements

Candidates must demonstrate strong domain knowledge and the ability to communicate technical ideas clearly. This role is listed as entry level, but requires substantial understanding of aerodynamics and CFD concepts.

• Deep knowledge of aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and thermofluids.
• Experience with aerospace or mechanical engineering analysis and methods.
• Technical writing experience producing reports, articles, or documentation.
• Background in peer review, technical evaluation, or engineering consultancy.
• Strong verbal communication for interdisciplinary audiences and remote collaboration.
• Fluent English (work language) and ability to work with distributed expert teams.

Who Should Apply

This role suits aerospace or mechanical engineers, CFD analysts, technical reviewers, or consultants who want to contribute domain expertise to AI systems. If you enjoy explaining complex concepts, improving documentation, and shaping how models learn engineering reasoning, apply.

• Early-career specialists and experienced practitioners with demonstrable CFD or aerodynamics background.
• Technical writers and reviewers who can convert engineering results into concise summaries.
• Professionals seeking flexible, remote contract work that builds a visible proof-of-work portfolio.
