Project Overview:

Join a growing community of professionals advancing the next wave of AI. As an AI Trainer, you’ll play a hands-on role by analyzing and providing feedback on data to improve LLM performance, helping ensure that the next generation of AI technology is accurate and trustworthy.

We are seeking a skilled Senior Mechanical / Industrial Engineer to work as a project consultant in our AI Labor Marketplace. This is not a full-time employment position — you will be engaged as an expert project consultant on a contract basis.

Location: U.S.-based experts only

Engagement: Part-time, project-based expert evaluation work

Work Type: Remote

Project Summary:

Design and evaluate realistic, domain-specific engineering scenarios (manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, supply chain) used to test and improve advanced AI models. Work includes prompt creation, synthetic artifact development, rubric design, model evaluation, and gold-standard response authoring.

Consultant Engagement Terms:

This is a project-based consultant role. Consultants will be paid on a per-project basis; hourly rates are estimates based on anticipated completion time. Consultants control their own schedule, provide their own tools, and may simultaneously provide services to other vendors/employers (subject to those vendors’ allowances).

Responsibilities:

Contributors will:

  • Create realistic, single-turn engineering prompts reflecting day-to-day senior engineering work
  • Develop synthetic supporting artifacts (process flows, quality data, equipment specs, schedules)
  • Validate prompts against state-of-the-art AI models and revise as needed
  • Define weighted, criteria-based evaluation rubrics
  • Evaluate model outputs against expert reasoning expectations
  • Draft gold-standard engineering responses with assumptions, risks, and next steps

Expected Outcomes:

  • High-quality engineering prompts that challenge state of the art AI models
  • Clear, repeatable rubrics for technical evaluation
  • Expert-authored gold responses reflecting senior-level judgment

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of experience in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering
  • Background in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, or complex supply-chain operations
  • Expertise in process improvement, quality analysis, and production systems
  • Strong written communication and analytical reasoning skills
