Remote | Mechanical Engineer — $65–$75/hour

24-MAG is offering a specialized part-time consulting opportunity for experienced mechanical engineers. The role focuses on developing realistic mechanical engineering evaluation tasks for an advanced AI initiative, incorporating complex design and safety considerations.

Responsibilities:

• Design realistic enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios covering complex product-development cycles
• Develop tasks involving multi-stakeholder design reviews, manufacturing processes, and engineering certification workflows
• Create scenarios reflecting practical constraints encountered in large industrial and manufacturing organisations
• Incorporate safety, reliability, regulatory, production, and commercial considerations into engineering problems
• Build tasks involving product design, CAD modelling, thermal and fluid systems, structural analysis, and stress analysis
• Develop scenarios involving manufacturing process engineering and reliability or failure analysis
• Produce reference design specifications, engineering calculations, analyses, and technical recommendations
• Evaluate engineering decisions using realistic enterprise requirements and constraints
• Develop scenarios involving tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, CATIA, MATLAB/Simulink, and comparable engineering platforms
• Incorporate enterprise PLM workflows using systems such as Siemens Teamcenter or PTC Windchill where relevant
• Apply FEA and CFD methodologies to appropriate engineering scenarios
• Incorporate DFM/DFA, Six Sigma, DFSS, and related engineering methodologies
• Apply GD&T principles using ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS standards where appropriate
• Draft high-quality reference outputs demonstrating experienced engineering judgment
• Develop detailed evaluation rubrics for complex mechanical engineering tasks
• Distinguish professional engineering reasoning from generic or coursework-level responses
• Assess technical accuracy, practical feasibility, safety considerations, and engineering trade-offs
• Create technical narratives suitable for senior engineering and executive stakeholders

Requirements:

• At least 5 years of professional mechanical engineering experience
• Experience working within a major industrial, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, or comparable enterprise environment
• Direct responsibility for significant product designs, manufacturing processes, or engineering programmes
• Strong knowledge of mechanical product development and design-review processes
• Practical experience with structural, thermal, fluid, manufacturing, or reliability engineering
• Familiarity with enterprise engineering tools and product lifecycle workflows
• Strong understanding of safety, regulatory, and certification considerations
• Excellent technical writing, analytical reasoning, and engineering judgment
• A degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related engineering discipline is highly relevant
• Professional experience involving complex mechanical systems, product development, or manufacturing is particularly valuable
• A professional engineering credential such as PE, CEng, EUR ING, or an equivalent international qualification may strengthen an application
• Experience with SolidWorks, ANSYS, CATIA, or MATLAB/Simulink
• Familiarity with Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, or comparable PLM systems
• Advanced experience with FEA or CFD
• Knowledge of DFM/DFA, Six Sigma, or DFSS methodologies
• Experience applying ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS standards
• Familiarity with ASME, ISO, FAA, FDA, or other relevant engineering and certification frameworks
• Experience leading cross-functional engineering design reviews
• Background authoring technical documentation, engineering training materials, or structured evaluation rubrics
