Mechanical Engineering Expert

What You'll Do5

• Draft mechanical engineering problems and scenarios that mirror real part, assembly, or analysis work used in production.
• Assess AI answers for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, manufacturability, and adherence to industry standards.
• Review models, drawings, GD&T tolerances, calculations, and FEA results for correctness, defensibility, and dimensioning readiness.
• Write structured feedback that helps AI models reason with the judgment of a working mechanical engineer.
• Choose your own schedule, with no minimum hours or fixed timeline.

Requirements12

• Hands-on industry background as a working mechanical engineer, or current undergraduate/graduate student who has produced a part, assembly, or analysis that another person manufactured, tested, or approved.
• BS, MS, or PhD in mechanical engineering or a related engineering field. Candidates still completing a bachelor's degree need internship experience.
• Depth in at least one area: parametric solid modeling with tolerance control, GD&T drawing interpretation, standards-based mechanical design calculations, or FEA validated against hand calculations.
• United States residency.
• Clear written communication and close attention to detail.
• Ability to explain complex mechanical engineering concepts in plain language.
• Comfort working alone in a remote, asynchronous arrangement.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or comparable certification is a plus.
• Familiarity with ASME, ANSI, ISO, or other industry design standards is a plus.
• Experience with SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion 360, ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, MATLAB, or similar tools is a plus.
• Background with manufacturing-ready drawings or models for machining, sheet metal, casting, injection molding, or additive processes is a plus.
• Work history at a manufacturer, product design firm, aerospace/defense contractor, automotive supplier, or current MS/PhD study in mechanical engineering or a related discipline is a plus.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate holds a BS, MS, or PhD in mechanical engineering and has shipped a real part, assembly, or analysis that another professional manufactured, tested, or approved. Strong fits include practicing engineers with depth in parametric solid modeling, GD&T, design calculations, or FEA backed by hand calculations, along with students who completed relevant internships. This role suits people who write with precision and can explain engineering choices in clear text. Applicants outside the United States, those without a mechanical engineering degree or equivalent hands-on project record, and candidates who cannot show direct work in at least one listed technical area often score low. A common rejection reason is listing tools such as SolidWorks or ANSYS without evidence of tolerance-based models, standards-based calcs, or validated analysis.
