Mechanical Engineering Expert

• Design advanced mechanical engineering problems for frontier AI training and evaluation
• Create deterministic problems with exactly one correct answer
• Write complete, verified solutions and clearly document the reasoning process
• Develop problems that test engineering analysis and multi-step reasoning rather than memorization
• Work across mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics, and mechanical systems
• Use Python, MATLAB, CAD/CAE tools, or specialized engineering software to validate solutions where relevant
• Ensure all outputs are technically precise, reproducible, and well-written in English

• Master’s or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field
• Strong research or industry experience involving mechanical systems, engineering analysis, simulation, or mathematical modeling
• Strong quantitative and problem-solving skills
• Familiarity with numerical methods and computational engineering
• Ability to design original, difficult problems that mirror real mechanical engineering workflows
• Excellent attention to detail and technical writing skills in English
• Experience with MATLAB, Python, ANSYS, Abaqus, SolidWorks, COMSOL, or similar tools (nice to have)
• Background in finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, optimization, or simulation (nice to have)
• Experience designing technical assessments, evaluating model reasoning, or developing engineering educational content (nice to have)
