[Remote] Remote | Mechanical Engineering Expert — $60–$100/hour

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. 24-MAG LLC offers an independent consulting opportunity for mechanical engineering professionals supporting an advanced AI training and engineering-evaluation project. The role involves solving and reviewing engineering problems, assessing AI-generated technical responses, and providing structured feedback grounded in professional engineering practice.

Responsibilities

• Solve advanced mechanical-engineering problems using first-principles reasoning
• Analyse statics, dynamics, loads, stresses, deformation, and structural behaviour
• Evaluate thermodynamic systems, energy balances, heat transfer, and thermal performance
• Analyse fluid-flow behaviour, pressure, velocity, losses, and related assumptions
• Assess boundary conditions, constraints, modelling choices, and alternative solution approaches
• Review FEA and simulation setups, including meshes, loads, constraints, and material assumptions
• Evaluate structural and thermal results against analytical calculations or expected physical behaviour
• Analyse vibration, resonance, damping, natural frequencies, and dynamic response
• Incorporate manufacturing, product-development, reliability, and practical design considerations
• Identify modelling errors, unrealistic assumptions, or opportunities to improve robustness and manufacturability
• Review AI-generated mechanical-engineering responses for technical correctness and completeness
• Identify calculation errors, weak assumptions, or flawed engineering reasoning
• Compare alternative approaches and distinguish substantive issues from acceptable solutions
• Provide clear, structured written feedback supporting model improvement
• Collaborate remotely with other subject-matter experts and project participants

Skills

• MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, or BS in Mechanical Engineering with 8+ years of relevant industry experience
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, analysis, or R&D
• Strong expertise in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer
• Demonstrated proficiency with FEA, structural analysis, and vibration or dynamic-system analysis
• Ability to combine finite-element methods, hand calculations, and experimental validation
• Familiarity with manufacturing and product-development environments
• Strong analytical, critical-thinking, and technical communication skills
• Evidence of rigorous technical-review or problem-authoring experience
• Knowledge of ASME BPVC, related ASME codes, and design-for-reliability practices
• Experience with ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, or comparable simulation tools
• Familiarity with CAD platforms
• Standards work, publications, awards, research recognition, or comparable achievements

Benefits

• Fully remote
