About the role
Mechanical Engineering AI Trainer
Remote | Contract / Project-Based | $40–$125 per hourParo is seeking experienced Mechanical Engineering professionals for remote, project-based AI training opportunities. This work allows engineers to apply their real-world technical expertise to evaluate and improve how advanced AI models perform complex mechanical engineering tasks. This is not a traditional mechanical engineering position. You’ll use your professional judgment to develop realistic engineering problems, review AI-generated work, identify technical errors and weaknesses, and evaluate responses against professional engineering standards. What You’ll Do Develop challenging, realistic mechanical engineering tasks based on real-world professional workflows. Create supporting materials such as drawings, CAD models, load cases, material data, test data, and specifications. Evaluate AI-generated calculations, analyses, design reviews, and technical reports. Compare AI-generated solutions and identify where reasoning or technical execution falls short. Develop worked solutions, acceptance criteria, and detailed grading standards. Identify errors involving boundary conditions, units, tolerances, interference, factors of safety, materials, failure modes, and other engineering considerations. Contribute across areas such as design, analysis, manufacturing, testing, and validation. What We’re Looking For 2+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience preferred. Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field completed or in progress.
Hands-on experience in one or more areas such asMechanical design and CAD
Structures and materialsStress, fatigue, deflection, or failure analysis
Thermal and fluid systemsHVAC, pumps, or piping
Dynamics, vibration, or rotating machineryManufacturing, DFM/DFA, GD&T, or tolerance analysis Experience with relevant engineering tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, FEA/CFD tools, MATLAB, or Python.
Strong engineering fundamentals and attention to detail.Ability to clearly explain technical reasoning and identify why a proposed solution is incorrect. Current or recent hands-on engineering experience strongly preferred.
Professional-level written and spoken English.Familiarity with AI/LLM tools such as ChatGPT or Claude. Ability to work independently in a self-directed remote environment. Engagement Details
