Description

  • Design computational engineering problems that challenge frontier AI models and require a verifiable code-based answer.
  • Choose an anchor tool such as Cantera, CoolProp, CalculiX, OpenFAST, YADE, or a similar package and build tasks around its domain-specific capabilities.
  • Write Python reference solutions for each task.
  • Prepare any required input files, geometry definitions, or mechanism definitions.
  • Set the numerical target answer and define an appropriate domain-specific tolerance for correctness.
  • Test tasks in batches of parallel attempts and tune difficulty until the model’s pass rate falls within the 10–30% range.
  • Iterate on problem setup by adjusting thermodynamic cycles, material models, boundary conditions, and related parameters.
  • Work with a senior reviewer in the relevant subfield and incorporate feedback to improve task quality.
  • Develop practical intuition for how frontier models approach complex thermal, structural, and fluid mechanics problems.

Requirements

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • 2+ years of research, applied, or teaching experience.
  • Python proficiency for writing reference solutions.
  • Fluency with, or a strong willingness to independently learn, at least one scriptable mechanical engineering package such as Cantera, CoolProp, CalculiX, OpenFAST, YADE, or a similar tool.
  • Ability to design problems that genuinely require a specialized solver rather than generic numerical libraries.
  • Strong written English at C1 level or above.
  • Experience with the listed tools is not required if you are ready to learn independently and get up to speed quickly.
  • Open to part-time, project-based, non-permanent work.
  • Willingness to submit a CV in English and indicate English proficiency.

Benefits

  • Compensation of up to $50 per hour equivalent, depending on level and pace of contribution.
  • Project-based work with no permanent employment commitment.
  • Estimated workload of around 10–20 hours per week during active project phases.
  • Opportunity to work on leading tech companies’ AI evaluation projects.
  • Hands-on experience improving frontier AI systems.
  • Chance to deepen expertise in specialized engineering simulation tools.
  • Feedback and review from a senior reviewer in your subfield.
