Use your hands-on experience in mechanical and aerospace engineering to write research-level problems for AI models. Remote, flexible contract work.
AfterQuery works with leading AI labs to build the expert data that tests and trains AI models. We’re looking for test and reliability engineers who work with real test data: the performance trials, vibration and modal surveys, rig or flight tests, and failure investigations you have run and written up.
Requirements
Technical: Working knowledge of Python (MATLAB is a plus) for reducing and analyzing your own test data.
Contract and pay
Flexible, independent-contractor work: $300 per approved task, about 6 hours each (roughly $50 per hour), with no cap on how many tasks you take on.
All accepted experts undergo standard background and identity verification.
Why Apply
Work on your own schedule: task-based, not a fixed hourly commitment
Contribute directly to how AI models are evaluated on real, expert-level scientific work
Paid, flexible work: $300 per approved task (about 6 hours each), no cap on how many you take on
Responsibilities
Write research-level problems drawn from the performance trials, rig or flight tests and failure investigations you have run
Provide a reference solution and the checks a strong answer should pass
Revise your submissions based on structured review feedback until they’re approved
Required Qualifications
Hands-on experience working with your own real test data in Python or a similar language
Able to write clearly about technical work in your field
Able to work independently and manage your own time. This is flexible, task-based work with no fixed weekly schedule
Preferred Qualifications
3 or more years of hands-on test, commissioning or condition-monitoring work, with a Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in mechanical or aerospace engineering
Hands-on work with real data, rather than pure CAD or design, simulation only, or management roles
