About the role

In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Responsibilities

  • Produce detailed 3D CAD models of simple mechanical components using platforms such as SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or CATIA.
  • Interpret and analyze technical drawings, identifying critical dimensions, tolerances, and specifications.
  • Document component requirements, technical specifications, and manufacturing tolerances in clear, structured formats.
  • Contribute insights and feedback on conceptual stress analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) tasks, supporting model validation.
  • Review, critique, and enhance technical documentation and CAD outputs for accuracy and clarity.
  • Provide expert written and verbal feedback to help train and validate AI system outputs in the context of mechanical engineering.
  • Collaborate asynchronously with cross-functional teams via remote communication tools, ensuring project objectives are achieved.

Preferred skills

  • 5+ years of demonstrated, hands-on experience in mechanical design engineering, with a focus on 3D CAD modeling and FEA.
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or CATIA, with a strong preference for contributors with multi-platform expertise.
  • Proven ability to interpret and produce comprehensive technical drawings and documentation.
  • Deep conceptual understanding of stress analysis, FEA principles, and engineering validation processes.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; meticulous attention to detail in documentation.
  • Experience as a design engineer modeling components, interpreting drawings, and defining requirements.
  • Knowledge of end-to-end engineering processes from requirements definition through to validation and documentation.
