Aerospace Engineer

If you’re an aerospace engineering expert who thrives on technical precision, systems thinking, and rigorous analysis, this is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to how the next generation of AI systems reason about flight, propulsion, structures, aerodynamics, controls, and mission-critical engineering decisions.We’re looking for senior Aerospace Engineer professionals with deep experience to strengthen model reasoning and technical accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate AI-generated aerospace engineering content for technical accuracy, completeness, assumptions, and reasoning quality.
• Challenge advanced language models with domain-specific prompts involving aerodynamics, propulsion, aircraft or spacecraft systems, structural mechanics, flight dynamics, controls, and test engineering.
• Review and refine AI-generated prompts, responses, calculations, explanations, and technical recommendations.
• Provide structured feedback that identifies errors, missing constraints, unsafe assumptions, weak reasoning, or unclear communication.
• Shape AI communication standards for aerospace topics by helping models respond with precision, appropriate caveats, and engineering judgment.
• Support benchmarking efforts by creating, reviewing, and scoring aerospace engineering tasks across varying levels of complexity.
• Assess whether AI outputs properly apply first principles, engineering standards, units, tolerances, boundary conditions, and safety factors.
• Compare multiple AI-generated answers and rank them based on technical correctness, clarity, and usefulness to professional users.

Your Profile

• 4+ years of professional experience as an Aerospace Engineer or in a closely related aerospace, aeronautical, astronautical, propulsion, structures, systems, or flight sciences role.
• Significant hands-on work with aerospace design, analysis, testing, simulation, verification, certification, or mission-critical engineering decision-making.
• Deep knowledge of aerospace fundamentals such as aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, orbital mechanics, structures, materials, controls, or systems engineering.
• Strong understanding of engineering tradeoffs, safety margins, model validation, boundary conditions, performance constraints, and technical risk assessment.
• Proven experience interpreting technical requirements, engineering drawings, simulation outputs, test data, or performance models.
• Demonstrated experience in explaining complex aerospace concepts clearly to technical stakeholders through written analysis, reviews, reports, or design documentation.
• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Astronautical Engineering, or a related field required; master’s degree or PhD preferred for highly specialized projects.
• Previous experience with AI data training, annotation, or evaluating AI-generated technical content is a strong plus.

🌍 Geographic Availability This role is available to qualified experts globally. However, as a U.S.-based company, SME Careers complies with U.S. export control and sanctions regulations. Eligibility depends on your country of residence and any applicable trade restrictions. Some projects may have additional language or region-specific requirements.

💰 Pay Rate May Vary Based on Your Location Your actual compensation will be determined based on your location and local market conditions. See regional job listings for localized pay information, or the application process will clarify your specific rate.
