Mechanical Engineering Expert, CAD, CFD & FEA

Final rate depends on location, qualifications and experience

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineering expert with advanced CAD, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and FEA experience to support a leading AI lab developing next-generation engineering AI models. In this project-based role, you will review, annotate, and evaluate highly technical engineering content, applying your domain expertise to ensure the accuracy and quality of datasets used for AI training.

Key Responsibilities

• Annotate and review CAD models, engineering drawings, and technical diagrams.
• Evaluate mechanical engineering and CFD/FEA datasets for technical accuracy and consistency.
• Perform quality control (QC) on expert annotations and identify engineering errors.
• Provide subject matter expertise to refine evaluation guidelines and improve dataset quality.

Required Qualifications

• Master\'s or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Strong CAD experience (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Creo, Fusion 360, or similar).
• 5+ years of professional experience.
• Hands-on meshing experience with Gmsh or snappyHexMesh.
• Hands-on CFD/FEA simulation experience with OpenFOAM or FEA tools like CalculiX (or similar).
• Strong ability to interpret technical drawings, assemblies, and mechanical systems.
• Domain expertise in one or more of the following:
• Aerodynamics/aerospace
• Reacting flows
• Solid mechanics / structural deformation
• Fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
• Heat transfer
• Chemically reacting flows
• Multiphase flows
• FEA
• Fluent in English; French is a strong plus.

Nice to Have

• Experience with FEM tools such as FEniCS.
