Mechanical Engineering Expert [$80 - $130/hour]

Role Responsibilities

- Solve and validate mechanical-engineering problems involving design, analysis, simulation, testing, or R&D;

- Translate physical systems and engineering requirements into analytical or computational models

- Create or modify geometry, meshes, materials, loads, contacts, constraints, and solver inputs

- Perform structural, thermal, agile, fatigue, buckling, vibration, or related analyses

- Use Python to automate model preparation, simulation, parameter sweeps, optimization, postprocessing, and verification

- Analyze stress, strain, displacement, temperature, heat flow, deformation, frequency response, safety factors, and other relevant outputs

- Compare simulation results with hand calculations, experimental data, reference cases, or expected physical behavior

- Diagnose invalid geometry, mesh problems, convergence failures, incorrect boundary conditions, and unrealistic outputs

- Review AI-generated engineering solutions and identify reasoning errors, incorrect assumptions, and violated physical constraints

- Develop clear, reproducible reference solutions and objective validation checks

- Iteratively improve designs for performance, mass, strength, stiffness, thermal behavior, reliability, or manufacturability

Good Candidature





- An MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline
- A BS in Mechanical Engineering plus at least 1 2 years of relevant professional experience in mechanical design, analysis, simulation, testing, or R&D;

- Strong understanding of applied mechanics and mechanical-engineering fundamentals

- Experience developing analytical, computational, or simulation-based engineering solutions

- Practical proficiency with Python

- Experience with at least one mechanical-engineering, geometry, meshing, or simulation tool that can be operated through a CLI, scripting interface, configuration files, or programmatic API

- Ability to select and justify loads, boundary conditions, material properties, physical assumptions, and model fidelity

- Ability to troubleshoot simulations and determine whether results are physically reasonable.

- Ability to explain engineering decisions, limitations, and trade-offs clearly

- Relevant tools may include CalculiX, Gmsh, Elmer, FEniCSx, CadQuery, OpenSCAD, OpenFOAM, or similar programmatic engineering software.

Experience with an equivalent CLI-accessible tool is acceptable

- Relevant Python tools may include NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, pandas, Matplotlib, Jupyter, CAD or meshing APIs, finite-element libraries, optimization packages, or domain-specific scientific tools
