Job description

About the Role

This opportunity is for a mechanical engineering expert who will help evaluate technical problems, proposed solutions, and written explanations for correctness, completeness, and sound reasoning. The role supports high-quality AI training and review work for a remote team.

The company works with top AI research labs and is backed by several well-known investors, including Benchmark, General Catalyst, Peter Thiel, Adam D'Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey.

What You’ll Do

  • Check mechanical engineering solutions and explanations for technical accuracy, completeness, and methodological quality.
  • Spot mistakes, unclear logic, missing steps, and weak reasoning, then explain your feedback clearly.
  • Use consistent review standards across topics such as statics and dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanics of materials, and machine design.
  • Align your judgments with established quality benchmarks so your reviews remain reliable and consistent.
  • Help sustain a high standard of technical quality across the reviewed content.
  • Work on your own, asynchronously, and meet deadlines while improving the quality of technical material.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
  • Strong grounding in core mechanical engineering fundamentals and the ability to solve problems rigorously from first principles.
  • Excellent attention to detail and the ability to detect subtle technical issues.
  • Strong written communication skills with the ability to explain why an answer is right or wrong.
  • Comfort working independently and applying structured evaluation criteria in a consistent way.
  • A master’s degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering is preferred.
  • Previous experience in technical review, grading, tutoring, or quality assurance is an advantage.

Compensation

This is a paid contract role at $90 per hour.

Application Process

  • Upload your resume.
  • Complete an AI interview based on your resume.
  • Submit the application form.

Additional Information

The application process typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. The team reviews applications every day. Candidates should finish both the AI interview and the application steps to be considered.
