Overview

This role is your chance to shape the next generation of AI by feeding it real-world engineering expertise. You'll apply deep knowledge of computational simulation and systems engineering to train, evaluate, and improve how AI models tackle complex tasks like CFD, FEA, and robotics. It's a remote, project-based position where your feedback directly influences model performance.

What You'll Do5

  • 1Use your background in simulation modeling and systems engineering to design benchmarks that test AI’s reasoning in realistic engineering scenarios.
  • 2Analyze AI-generated outputs in areas like CFD, FEA, and control systems, then provide targeted feedback to improve accuracy and reliability.
  • 3Review and enhance technical datasets, simulation workflows, and results from tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, and OpenFOAM to ensure high-quality training input.
  • 4Create clear, detailed written assessments of AI model performance and collaborate with domain experts to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
  • 5Contribute to building robust, real-world benchmarks that push AI systems to handle complex, multi-physics problems.

Requirements4

  • 1A PhD or equivalent research/industry experience in a computational engineering or simulation-focused discipline (e.g., mechanical, aerospace, or systems engineering).
  • 2Hands-on expertise with at least two of the following: CFD, FEA, computational mechanics, robotics, control systems, or signal processing.
  • 3Strong proficiency in Python or MATLAB for scripting, data processing, and automating scientific workflows.
  • 4Excellent communication skills to translate complex technical insights into actionable recommendations for interdisciplinary teams.

Who Should Apply

We're looking for a seasoned engineer or researcher who thrives at the intersection of simulation science and AI. You're someone who can spot when an AI model makes an unrealistic assumption and articulate exactly why. If you enjoy thinking critically about how models reason and want your domain expertise to have a direct impact on cutting-edge AI, this role is for you.

Salary Insight

The role pays $40–$60 per hour, and it is structured as a contract position with fully remote flexibility.
