About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. People with real-world expertise help models learn by answering questions, reviewing generated responses, identifying errors, and explaining what accurate, useful output should look like.

As a mechanical engineering subject matter expert, you will bring practical technical judgment to cutting-edge AI systems. This work can be a flexible way to apply your professional knowledge while helping shape how advanced models reason about engineering.

• Evaluate AI-generated technical responses
• Provide detailed written feedback and rationales
• Help improve accuracy, clarity, completeness, and usefulness

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking a Mechanical Engineering Subject Matter Expert to support the training and evaluation of next-generation AI systems. You will solve advanced problems across engineering mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, vibrations, and manufacturing.

You will also assess AI-generated engineering content for technical accuracy, clarity, completeness, feasibility, manufacturability, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. The role requires practical judgment on real-world design and analysis scenarios, along with strong technical communication.

• Role focus: Mechanical Engineering Review
• Data work: Text-based question answering and evaluation rating
• Experience level listed: Entry level
• Language: English

What You'll Do

You will combine deep mechanical engineering knowledge with careful evaluation and explanation. Your feedback will help distinguish technically sound answers from responses that are incomplete, impractical, unclear, or inconsistent with engineering standards.

• Analyze complex problems in engineering mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, vibrations, and manufacturing.
• Review AI-generated engineering content and improve its accuracy and completeness.
• Evaluate solutions for feasibility, manufacturability, reliability, and industry standard compliance.
• Write detailed explanations supporting engineering decisions and recommendations.
• Apply practical engineering judgment to design and analysis scenarios.
• Collaborate remotely and communicate clearly with a multidisciplinary team.

Requirements
