We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for licensed US mechanical engineers with professional experience in mechanical design, thermodynamics, HVAC, manufacturing, technical documentation, and industry-standard engineering tools.
This role supports an AI research initiative focused on improving how advanced systems understand and reason about mechanical engineering topics. Selected professionals will evaluate written and AI-generated content, answer technical questions, identify relevant reference materials, and provide practical insight into real-world mechanical engineering workflows, standards, and professional decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
Mechanical Engineering Content Evaluation
- Review written content and AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, relevance, and professional quality
- Assess whether calculations, analyses, recommendations, and conclusions reflect sound mechanical engineering practice
- Identify incorrect assumptions, design errors, omitted constraints, and technical inconsistencies
- Evaluate content within the candidate's strongest areas of mechanical engineering expertise
Domain-Specific Analysis
- Answer mechanical engineering questions using clear, well-reasoned technical explanations
- Apply professional judgment to thermodynamics, HVAC, mechanical design, structural analysis, and manufacturing scenarios
- Assess whether responses account for material properties, loading conditions, operating environments, tolerances, and safety requirements
- Provide corrections and supporting rationale where content requires improvement
Codes, Standards & Reference Review
- Review the application of relevant engineering codes and standards, including ASME guidance
- Identify reliable technical references appropriate to assigned engineering topics
- Assess whether cited methods, equations, and assumptions suit the relevant design or operating context
- Highlight safety, regulatory, technical, and procedural considerations affecting engineering decisions
Engineering Workflows & Tools
- Share insight into practical mechanical engineering workflows, documentation, and quality-control processes
- Evaluate content involving SolidWorks, ANSYS, AutoCAD, or comparable engineering tools
- Review technical specifications, calculations, drawings, design reports, and training materials
- Collaborate asynchronously with a small group of subject-matter experts across different fields
Ideal Profile
Strong candidates may have:
- At least 2 years of professional mechanical engineering experience
- An active Professional Engineer licence in the United States
