Mechanical Engineering Technician

Apply hands-on mechanical engineering technician expertise to create realistic technical work that helps train and evaluate next-generation AI systems. This remote contract opportunity focuses on advanced AI benchmarks grounded in real lab, test, and production practices. No prior AI experience is required.

• Design and author authentic technician workflow tasks involving test setup, instrumentation, data collection, data interpretation, and failure diagnosis.
• Source, synthesize, and build technical datasets from real lab or production scenarios, including test logs, calibration records, sensor outputs, and failure reports.
• Define accurate solution paths, interpret test data, and recommend informed next steps.
• Create rigorous grading rubrics with 35 or more items to assess instrumentation logic, data interpretation, and failure analysis.
• Document technical procedures, observations, and diagnostic findings with precision and clarity.
• Ensure evaluation tasks reflect the complexity and realism of professional mechanical engineering technology practice.

• At least 4 years of hands-on experience in mechanical engineering technology lab, test, or production environments.
• Associate degree or recognized trade credential in mechanical engineering technology or a related discipline.
• Extensive experience with instrumentation, sensors, data acquisition systems, and prototype testing workflows.
• Ability to document test procedures, outcomes, and failure modes in depth.
• Strong analytical ability to interpret complex datasets and diagnose equipment or process failures.
• Familiarity with CSV files, spreadsheets, PDFs, and other technical documentation formats.
• Ability to work independently on remote projects while meeting high technical standards.

• Remote, independent contractor engagement.
• Compensation is output-based and paid per task that meets project specifications. Completion time varies by experience and workflow.
• Minimum submission requirements apply, including a minimum number of tasks submitted each week.
• Selected candidates are expected to begin their first tasks within 24 to 48 hours after completing the required setup process.
