About this Role
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.
### 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.
### 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.
Requirements
- Advanced degree or strong hands-on professional experience in the domain
- Ability to pass domain-specific qualification assessments
- Eligible to create a verified account on Deel (for payments/compliance)
- Proficiency in English (for instructions and feedback)
- Must be located in one of the 40+ supported countries (e.g., The United States)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there room for advancement?
Yes. This is a key feature of the platform. They explicitly list a career path: Data Trainer -> Quality Analyst -> QA Lead -> Project Manager. Consistent high-quality work can lead to leadership roles.
How do payments work?
Payments are processed weekly through Deel. This ensures tax compliance and allows them to hire freelancers from over 40 countries securely.
Is the work ongoing or project-based?
Work is project-based, which means assignments can vary in duration and availability. However, top performers often get priority access to new projects.
Is this traditional consulting?
Not exactly. You act as a "Teacher" for advanced AI. Instead of client deliverables, you are given complex scenarios to evaluate. You grade the AI's logic, correct its hallucinations, and provide expert-level reasoning. Your job is to train the model to think like you do.
Why is the pay so high?
This role requires deep, verified expertise. General knowledge isn't enough; the model is specifically being trained on "edge cases"—the rare, difficult, or highly technical nuances that only a senior professional would know.
What is the workload like?
This is cognitive, deep work. Unlike simple data labeling, you might spend 45-60 minutes on a single task, researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is prioritized over speed.
Who is behind SME Careers?
SME Careers is the expert talent division of SuperAnnotate, a leading AI data infrastructure platform. They connect domain experts with high-level AI training projects.
