Mechanical Engineering Expert - Remote Canada

What You'll Do5

• Craft mechanical engineering problems and scenarios that mirror real-world part, assembly, and analysis work which gets manufactured, tested, or approved.
• Assess AI-generated responses for technical correctness, practical feasibility, manufacturability, and alignment with industry standards and engineering best practices.
• Review models, drawings, tolerances, calculations, and FEA results for accuracy, defensibility, and usability by other engineers.
• Write clear, structured feedback that helps improve AI model performance in mechanical engineering reasoning.
• Work independently and set your own schedule without minimum hour requirements.

Requirements11

• Proven industry experience as a practicing mechanical engineer, or current undergraduate/graduate student who has personally created a part, assembly, or analysis that another party manufactured, tested, or approved.
• BS, MS, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline. If you are still completing your bachelor's, you need internship experience.
• Demonstrated depth in at least one of these areas: parametric solid modeling built to tolerance, GD&T-fluent drawing interpretation, standards-based mechanical design calculations, or FEA validated against hand calculations.
• Canadian work authorization.
• Strong written communication and attention to detail, with the ability to explain complex mechanical engineering concepts in a clear way.
• Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.
• PE license or comparable professional certification (preferred).
• Experience applying ASME, ANSI, ISO, or industry-specific design standards (preferred).
• Proficiency with tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion 360, ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, or MATLAB (preferred).
• Experience producing manufacturing-ready drawings or models for machining, sheet metal, casting, injection molding, or additive processes (preferred).
• Work history at a manufacturer, product design firm, aerospace/defense contractor, automotive supplier, or current MS/PhD student in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (preferred).

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate for this role is a working mechanical engineer or a current engineering student with real-world experience in at least one of these areas: parametric solid modeling, GD&T interpretation, standards-based design calculations, or FEA validated with hand calcs. You should hold a degree in mechanical engineering (or be on track to earn one with internship experience) and be able to write about complex technical topics in a clear way. This position is less suitable for engineers who have only academic knowledge without applying it to parts that were actually manufactured, tested, or approved. A common reason candidates get rejected is lacking Canadian work authorization, and another is not demonstrating the required depth in at least one expertise area. Those who need constant collaboration or rigid schedules may also find the asynchronous remote setup challenging.
