Pubblicato il 13-10-2026 - Prolific in Conscenti
Engineering Design and Simulation (CAD & Simulation Consultant) - Aerospace / Mechanical / Electrical Engineering Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world. Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.
About the Project: We are building a benchmark of physical engineering design tasks across mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering. An AI agent then uses open-source engineering tools in a sandbox to deliver a design, and an automated grader checks whether it works. You will help create the tasks and graders that measure how well frontier AI models can do real engineering design work.
We are seeking experienced mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineers to design, build and review simulation‐led engineering tasks. You will turn real engineering problems into precise, measurable briefs, and write the graders and reference solutions that check them. The role needs strong engineering fundamentals, hands‐on simulation experience, and the ability to produce clear, reproducible work.
Strong proficiency in CAD engineering and simulation tools candidates must have a minimum of 5+ years of experience working in CAD engineering and simulation-focused organizations Strong aerospace/mechanical/electrical engineering fundamentals Hands‐on experience with modeling, simulation, or design projects Robust engineering problem definition Modelling and simulation Design trade‐off analysis Technical documentation Clear communication of assumptions and engineering decisions Proficiency in the following tools as per their domain: CAD: FreeCAD, CadQuery, build123d (STEP output) Motion: MuJoCo or another scripted multibody simulator that supports closed loops 5 + years of professional experience in mechanical, electrical or aerospace design and simulation ~ Strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to define a problem robustly ~ Hands‐on experience with modelling, simulation and design projects ~ Proficiency in open-source tools for your domain: ~ CAD: FreeCAD, CadQuery, build123d (STEP output) ~ Motion: MuJoCo or another scripted multibody simulator that supports closed loops ~ Python scripting for automation, analysis and result processing ~ Clear technical documentation and communication of assumptions PhD or MSc in a mechanical, electrical or aerospace discipline Experience writing automated graders, test suites or verification scripts Experience with Docker and headless tool pipelines Prior experience at leading aerospace or engineering companies Commitment: minimum 20 hrs/week (including weekends), up to 60 hours in total for the project Freelance
