  • Improve AI reasoning to align with first principles and accepted engineering standards
  • Apply structured scoring criteria to assess multi-step problem solving.

What We Look For This opportunity is a good fit for mechanical engineers with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

  • 3+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience
  • Strong written English (C1/C2)
  • Strong Python proficiency for numerical validation
  • Stable internet connection

Professional certifications (e.g., PE, CEng, PMP) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.
