What this actually is

You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (Mechanical Engineering Expert (MSc. or PhD)) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

How micro1 picks people

  1. Apply to the role, then do an interview with micro1's AI recruiter. It takes 20 to 40 minutes.
  2. Some roles add a short skills test after the interview.
  3. If you pass, micro1 asks you to finish your profile and verify your ID. You then join its certified pool and can apply to its other open roles.

Before you start

  • Plan for 40 minutes in a quiet place.
  • Have your CV and two or three examples of your own work in this field ready to talk about.

Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

Mechanical Engineering Expert (MSc. or PhD)

Pay: $60-$120/hour

Location: Global, fully remote

Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week)

Schedule: Flexible-you choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired

We are looking for a highly skilled Mechanical Engineering Expert to contribute to an AI training project involving engineering design, physical modeling, simulation, technical problem-solving, and Python.

The work involves creating, solving, reviewing, and validating engineering tasks across structural, thermal, mechanical, and multiphysics domains. A representative task may require translating physical requirements into a computational model, generating the required geometry or mesh, applying materials and boundary conditions, running an engineering simulation, and determining whether the resulting artifact and analysis satisfy the applicable physical and design constraints.

This is a very coding heavy role. Candidates must have experience using coding agents in their workflow.

What You’ll Work On

• Solve and validate mechanical-engineering problems involving design, analysis, simulation, testing, or R&D.

• Translate physical systems and engineering requirements into analytical or computational models.

• Create or modify geometry, meshes, materials, loads, contacts, constraints, and solver inputs.

Required Qualifications

• An MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline; or

• Strong understanding of applied mechanics and mechanical-engineering fundamentals.

• Experience developing analytical, computational, or simulation-based engineering solutions.

• Practical proficiency with coding agents.

Process

• Apply to the role and complete the screening questions.

• Complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes.

• Complete the hiring manager review.Compensation Structure

Compensation is output-based. Experts are paid per task that meets the project specifications. The time required to complete each task may vary depending on the expert’s experience and workflow.

Minimum submission requirements apply.

Start Timeline & Availability

We typically fill roles within 48 hours and are looking for experts who are ready to begin immediately. If selected, you will be expected to start your first task within 24-48 hours of completing onboarding.
