Mechanical Engineering Expert - Remote

Mechanical Engineering Expert Role Type: Contractor Location: Global, Fully Remote Schedule: :15 hours/week, flexible About The Role We're seeking a Mechanical Engineering Expert to support an AI training project involving engineering design, physical modeling, simulation, technical problem-solving, and Python. You'll solve, validate, and review structural, thermal, mechanical, and multiphysics engineering tasks. No prior AI experience is required. Key Responsibilities - Solve and validate mechanical engineering problems involving design, analysis, simulation, and testing. - Translate engineering requirements into analytical and computational models. - Create and modify geometry, meshes, materials, loads, constraints, and solver inputs. - Perform structural, thermal, dynamic, fatigue, buckling, and vibration analyses. - Use Python to automate simulations, parameter sweeps, optimization, and post-processing. - Analyze stress, strain, displacement, temperature, deformation, frequency response, and safety factors. - Diagnose geometry, mesh, convergence, boundary-condition, and modeling issues. - Compare simulation results with calculations, experiments, and expected physical behavior. - Review AI-generated engineering solutions and develop reproducible reference solutions. Required Skills - Mechanical Engineering & Applied Mechanics - Engineering Design & Analysis - Structural & Thermal Analysis - Computational Modeling & Simulation - Python - CAD, Meshing & Simulation - Numerical Validation & Troubleshooting - Technical Problem-Solving Tools Experience with CalculiX, Gmsh, Elmer, FEniCSx, CadQuery, OpenSCAD, OpenFOAM, or equivalent CLI/programmatic engineering tools. Python tools such as NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, pandas, Matplotlib, and Jupyter are beneficial. Qualifications - MS/PhD in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline, or BS in Mechanical Engineering with 1–2+ years of relevant professional experience. - Strong mechanical-engineering fundamentals and simulation experience. - Practical Python and programmatic engineering-tool experience. - Ability to select and justify materials, loads, boundary conditions, assumptions, and model fidelity. - Ability to validate results and clearly explain engineering decisions and trade-offs. Process Application :30-minute AI interview Technical assessment (if required) Hiring manager review.
