Remote | Licensed Mechanical Engineer & AI Evaluation Specialist — $60–$85/hour

24-MAG is offering a specialized part-time consulting opportunity for licensed mechanical engineers focused on AI research. The role involves evaluating written and AI-generated content, answering technical questions, and providing insights into mechanical engineering workflows and standards.

Responsibilities:

• Review written content and AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, relevance, and professional quality
• Assess whether calculations, analyses, recommendations, and conclusions reflect sound mechanical engineering practice
• Identify incorrect assumptions, design errors, omitted constraints, and technical inconsistencies
• Evaluate content within the candidate's strongest areas of mechanical engineering expertise
• Answer mechanical engineering questions using clear, well-reasoned technical explanations
• Apply professional judgment to thermodynamics, HVAC, mechanical design, structural analysis, and manufacturing scenarios
• Assess whether responses account for material properties, loading conditions, operating environments, tolerances, and safety requirements
• Provide corrections and supporting rationale where content requires improvement
• Review the application of relevant engineering codes and standards, including ASME guidance
• Identify reliable technical references appropriate to assigned engineering topics
• Assess whether cited methods, equations, and assumptions suit the relevant design or operating context
• Highlight safety, regulatory, technical, and procedural considerations affecting engineering decisions
• Share insight into practical mechanical engineering workflows, documentation, and quality-control processes
• Evaluate content involving SolidWorks, ANSYS, AutoCAD, or comparable engineering tools
• Review technical specifications, calculations, drawings, design reports, and training materials
• Collaborate asynchronously with a small group of subject-matter experts across different fields

Requirements:

• At least 2 years of professional mechanical engineering experience
• An active Professional Engineer licence in the United States
• Experience in thermodynamics, HVAC, mechanical or structural design, manufacturing, or multiple mechanical engineering areas
• Strong familiarity with relevant engineering codes, technical standards, and professional documentation
• Practical experience using SolidWorks, ANSYS, AutoCAD, or similar engineering tools
• Professional working proficiency in English
• Strong written communication, technical reasoning, and attention to detail
• Reliable availability for approximately 10 hours per week
• Based in the United States
• A degree in mechanical engineering from a recognised institution is required
• An active US Professional Engineer licence is required
• Experience across more than one mechanical engineering discipline
• Background preparing technical specifications, design documentation, calculations, or training materials
• Familiarity with finite-element analysis, computational simulation, or product-development workflows
• Experience reviewing or mentoring the work of junior engineers
• Knowledge of engineering quality assurance, peer review, design verification, or validation
• Comfort using AI tools such as ChatGPT or comparable systems
• Previous experience with content evaluation, structured feedback, or AI training projects
• A portfolio of completed mechanical, manufacturing, HVAC, or industrial engineering work
