Flexible Remote Powerbuilder Developer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Senior Aerodynamics Engineer OpportunityWe are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for senior aerodynamics engineers with doctoral-level expertise and substantial hands-on industry experience in external aerodynamics, CFD, wind tunnel testing, propulsion, or vehicle aerodynamics. This role supports an advanced AI research initiative focused on creating highly challenging engineering problems grounded in realistic aerodynamics scenarios. Selected professionals will author original free-response questions, develop complete expert-level solutions, and test each problem against frontier AI models to ensure it requires sophisticated technical reasoning.Key ResponsibilitiesAerodynamics Problem DevelopmentAuthor original, technically rigorous free-response aerodynamics problemsDevelop questions grounded in realistic professional and industrial scenariosCreate problems requiring advanced multi-step reasoning rather than straightforward textbook recallIncorporate practical constraints, assumptions, aerodynamic trade-offs, and real-world engineering considerationsEnsure questions accurately reflect professional aerodynamics workflowsAerodynamic Analysis & EngineeringDevelop scenarios involving external aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, and vehicle aerodynamic performanceApply advanced aerodynamic and thermofluid principles to complex technical problemsIncorporate CFD, experimental testing, or analytical methods where appropriateDevelop problems involving wind tunnel testing and interpretation of aerodynamic dataAddress propulsion-related aerodynamics where relevant to the required technical scopeExpert Solution DevelopmentWrite complete expert-level solutions for each authored problemClearly document calculations, assumptions, methodology, and engineering reasoningExplain aerodynamic phenomena and technical decisions with appropriate depthEnsure solutions are technically rigorous, internally consistent, and independently verifiableProvide clear reference answers suitable for evaluating advanced reasoningAI Difficulty ValidationTest authored problems against multiple frontier language modelsEvaluate whether current AI systems can correctly solve each problemIdentify reasoning errors, incorrect assumptions, calculation failures, or incomplete technical approachesRefine problems where necessary to maintain an appropriately demanding level of difficultyValidate that each question meaningfully tests advanced aerodynamics expertiseIdeal ProfileA PhD in Aerospace EngineeringAlternatively, a PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a strong specialisation in aerodynamics or thermofluidsAt least 5 years of hands-on professional or industry experienceSubstantial experience in external aerodynamics, CFD, wind tunnel testing, propulsion, or vehicle aerodynamicsStrong command of advanced fluid mechanics and aerodynamic analysisExperience solving complex engineering problems in professional environmentsAbility to translate real industry challenges into structured technical questionsExcellent analytical reasoning and technical writing skillsEducational BackgroundA PhD in Aerospace Engineering or a closely aligned discipline is requiredA Mechanical Engineering PhD with substantial aerodynamics or thermofluids specialisation may also qualifyDoctoral expertise should be complemented by significant hands-on professional or industry experienceStrong practical exposure to aerodynamic design, analysis, simulation, or testing is particularly importantNice to HaveExperience within a major aerospace, automotive, aviation, defence, motorsport, or engineering organisationAdvanced CFD experienceHands-on wind tunnel testing experienceBackground in vehicle aerodynamics or external flow analysisRelevant propulsion experience within the scope of aerodynamic engineeringExperience developing or validating aerodynamic models against experimental dataPrior experience authoring technical assessments, engineering problems, or training materialsFamiliarity with AI models or structured technical evaluationWhy This OpportunityApply advanced aerodynamics expertise to challenging AI researchCreate original engineering problems based on realistic professional scenariosCombine industry experience with rigorous aerodynamic reasoningWork across CFD, external aerodynamics, wind tunnel testing, propulsion, and vehicle aerodynamicsHelp identify limitations in current frontier AI systemsParticipate in flexible remote consulting work with competitive compensationContract DetailsIndependent contractor roleFully remote with flexible schedulingCompensation of up to $80 per hour depending on expertise and project scopeExperience focused primarily on rocket or satellite propulsion, structural or aeroelastic FEM, or wind-load analysis for buildings may fall outside the technical scope of this projectWork may include engineering problem authoring, expert solution development, technical validation, and AI model evaluationWeekly payments via Stripe or WiseProjects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performanceWork will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institutionAbout the PlatformThis opportunity is available through 24-MAG LLC.
