Mechanical Engineering Specialist — Remote Contract Engagement
About this role
About Fleet AI
Fleet AI builds training environments where AI agents practice real work and get graded on it. Our mechanical engineering projects use realistic problems to test how well those agents reason, use engineering tools, and produce physically valid results.
What you'll work on
Build mechanical engineering problems and reference solutions used to train and evaluate AI. Depending on the project, that can mean CAD, structural or thermal analysis, fluid flow, manufacturing drawings, or design validation. Outputs may include:
- An engineering problem with the inputs, constraints, and files needed to solve it.
- CAD models, drawings, calculations, or simulation results for a reference solution.
- A short write-up of assumptions, boundary conditions, tradeoffs, and limitations.
- Criteria for judging whether a solution is physically valid, safe, and feasible.
- Reviews of AI-generated work that point out errors and why they matter.
Who we're looking for
- Professional mechanical engineering experience, including designs taken through analysis, validation, or production.
- Hands-on use of CAD or simulation tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion, FEA, or CFD software.
- Sound judgment about physical constraints, failure modes, and where a model stops being reliable.
- Clear technical writing that explains the result and the reasoning behind it.
