Mechanical & Aerospace Test and Reliability Engineer

Use your hands-on experience in mechanical and aerospace engineering to write research-level problems for AI models. Remote, flexible contract work. AfterQuery works with leading AI labs to build the expert data that tests and trains AI models. We're looking for test and reliability engineers who work with real test data: the performance trials, vibration and modal surveys, rig or flight tests, and failure investigations you have run and written up. Requirements Technical: Working knowledge of Python (MATLAB is a plus) for reducing and analyzing your own test data. Work authorization: Must be able to work as an independent contractor without visa sponsorship. Students on F-1 visas (including OPT/CPT) are not eligible. Preferred Background: 3 or more years of hands-on test, commissioning or condition-monitoring work, with a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in mechanical or aerospace engineering. Hands-on work with real data, rather than pure CAD or design, simulation only, or management roles. Contract and pay Flexible, independent-contractor work: $300 per approved task, about 6 hours each (roughly $50 per hour), with no cap on how many tasks you take on. All accepted experts undergo standard background and identity verification.
