Engineering Modeling Specialist | $61/hr Remote

Crossing Hurdles is seeking an Engineering Modeling Specialist to develop simulation-based engineering problems for training advanced AI models. The role involves creating design challenges, validating solutions, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance AI model performance.

Responsibilities:

• Develop simulation-based engineering problems to train advanced AI models
• Create realistic design challenges involving trade-offs, component sizing, and optimization
• Validate engineering solutions using physics-based simulations and domain expertise
• Design multi-step problem sets including reference solutions, edge cases, and evaluation criteria
• Analyze AI outputs for correctness, feasibility, and physical realism
• Ensure accuracy in units, boundary conditions, convergence, and system behavior
• Document problems, solutions, and evaluation logic in a structured and clear manner
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve AI model performance

Requirements:

• Master s or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Strong hands-on engineering design experience (not just analysis)
• Strong expertise in at least one engineering domain (Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Chemical, Robotics, etc.)
• Proficiency in at least one simulation tool (FEA, CFD, SPICE, RF tools, etc.)
• Strong Python (or equivalent) scripting skills
• Ability to design complex, simulation-based problems involving trade-offs and optimization
• High attention to detail including units, boundary conditions, and physical accuracy
• Strong analytical thinking with the ability to evaluate edge cases and design correctness
• Excellent written communication and ability to work independently in a remote setup
• Availability with at least 20- 40hrs per week with 4 hours overlap with PST
