Specialised Consulting Opportunity for Senior Mechanical Design EngineersWe are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for senior mechanical design engineers with doctoral-level expertise and substantial hands-on experience owning production designs through CAD development, GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFM, and drawing release.This role supports an advanced AI research initiative focused on developing highly challenging engineering problems grounded in realistic mechanical design scenarios. Selected professionals will author original free-response problems, prepare complete expert-level solutions, and validate each problem against frontier AI models to ensure it requires sophisticated professional reasoning.Key ResponsibilitiesMechanical Design Problem DevelopmentAuthor original, technically rigorous free-response problems based on realistic mechanical and product-design scenariosDevelop questions requiring advanced engineering reasoning rather than straightforward textbook recallIncorporate real-world design constraints, manufacturing considerations, tolerances, and engineering trade-offsCreate problems reflecting genuine production-design responsibilities and decision-makingCAD & Production DesignDevelop scenarios involving CAD-based mechanical and product designApply GD&T principles to drawings, assemblies, interfaces, and manufacturing requirementsIncorporate tolerance stacks and dimensional analysis into complex engineering problemsAddress DFM considerations and production constraintsDevelop scenarios involving drawing creation, review, revision, and releaseExpert Solution DevelopmentWrite complete expert-level solutions for each authored engineering problemClearly document engineering assumptions, calculations, design reasoning, and methodologyDemonstrate how experienced design engineers evaluate competing design optionsEnsure solutions are technically rigorous, internally consistent, and independently verifiableInclude appropriate consideration of manufacturability, tolerances, interfaces, and production requirementsAI Difficulty ValidationTest authored problems against multiple frontier language modelsEvaluate whether current AI systems can correctly solve each engineering problemIdentify reasoning errors, design mistakes, or incomplete technical approaches in model responsesRefine problems where necessary to maintain an appropriately demanding level of difficultyValidate that each problem meaningfully tests advanced mechanical design expertiseIdeal ProfileStrong candidates may have:A PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Design, or a closely related disciplineAt least 5 years of hands-on professional or industry experience in production design rolesDirect ownership of mechanical designs through development and production releaseStrong practical expertise in CAD and mechanical designExtensive experience with GD&T and tolerance stack analysisHands-on knowledge of design for manufacturabilityExperience creating, reviewing, and releasing engineering drawingsStrong technical writing and analytical communication skillsEducational BackgroundA PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Design, or a closely related discipline is requiredDoctoral research should be complemented by substantial hands-on industry or production-design experienceStrong practical experience owning real mechanical designs through manufacturing and release is particularly important for this engagementNice to HaveCSWP or CSWE certificationExperience designing products or mechanical systems within a major industrial, aerospace, automotive, technology, or manufacturing organisationAdvanced CAD expertise using professional mechanical design platformsExperience performing complex tolerance analysesStrong knowledge of GD&T standards and drawing practicesBackground working closely with manufacturing, suppliers, quality, and production teamsExperience resolving design-for-manufacturing issues during product developmentPrior experience authoring engineering assessments, technical problems, or training materialsFamiliarity with AI models or structured technical evaluationWhy This OpportunityApply advanced mechanical design expertise to challenging AI researchCreate original engineering problems based on genuine production-design workflowsWork with complex CAD, GD&T, tolerance, DFM, and drawing-release scenariosUse practical industry experience to test the reasoning capabilities of frontier AI systemsHelp identify technical limitations in current AI modelsParticipate 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 scopeHands-on production-design experience is required; candidates whose experience is limited to analysis or simulation without design ownership are unlikely to match the project requirementsWork 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.
