Mechanical Engineer

About the Role

Role Title: Mechanical Engineer

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote micro1 is selecting experienced Mechanical Engineer - AI trainers to contribute to a customer project focused on developing advanced AI systems for engineering applications. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

What You'll Do

• Produce detailed 3D CAD models of simple mechanical components using platforms such as SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or CATIA.
• Interpret and analyze technical drawings, identifying critical dimensions, tolerances, and specifications.
• Document component requirements, technical specifications, and manufacturing tolerances in clear, structured formats.
• Contribute insights and feedback on conceptual stress analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) tasks, supporting model validation.
• Review, critique, and enhance technical documentation and CAD outputs for accuracy and clarity.
• Provide expert written and verbal feedback to help train and validate AI system outputs in the context of mechanical engineering.
• Collaborate asynchronously with cross-functional teams via remote communication tools, ensuring project objectives are achieved.

Requirements

• 5+ years of demonstrated, hands-on experience in mechanical design engineering, with a focus on 3D CAD modeling and FEA.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or CATIA, with a strong preference for contributors with multi-platform expertise.
• Proven ability to interpret and produce comprehensive technical drawings and documentation.
• Deep conceptual understanding of stress analysis, FEA principles, and engineering validation processes.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; meticulous attention to detail in documentation.
• Experience as a design engineer modeling components, interpreting drawings, and defining requirements.
• Knowledge of end-to-end engineering processes from requirements definition through to validation and documentation.
