What You'll Do
- Convert real-world mechanical engineering challenges into structured test scenarios with defined inputs, requirements, kinematic/geometric constraints, and verified golden reference solutions.
- Design clear scoring rubrics & programmatic validation rules for automated task verification by software engineers (e.g., verifying stress concentrations, mesh convergence, boundary conditions, tolerance stacks, GD&T adherence).
- Assess the behavior of state-of-the-art AI agents to diagnose & analyse failure modes.
- Design and manage automated and human-expert-in-the-loop QA/QC workflows to ensure dataset quality.
- Recruit and coordinate teams of internal and external engineers to build and scale training and evaluation datasets.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a closely related physical discipline.
- 15+ years of industry track record delivering hardware from concept to production in top-tier automotive, aerospace, or advanced precision engineering environments.
- Deep technical expertise across the end-to-end mechanical product lifecycle: 3D parametric CAD modeling, DFM/DFA, GD&T, FEA/CFD simulation, prototype testing, and failure analysis (FMEA).
