About
Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced Mechanical Engineers to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional engineering role—you'll draw on your hands-on experience in parametric solid modeling, GD&T-fluent drawing interpretation, standards-based mechanical calcs, or FEA validated with hand calcs to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing mechanical engineer. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that you can take on alongside your current role or studies.
What You'll Do
- Create expert-level mechanical engineering problems and scenarios grounded in real part, assembly, and analysis work that gets manufactured, tested, or approved
- Review AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, manufacturability, and alignment with industry standards and engineering practice
- Evaluate models, drawings, tolerances, calculations, and FEA results for correctness, defensibility, and whether a reviewer could dimension against them
- Provide clear, structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
- Complete tasks at your own pace, with no set schedule or minimum-hour requirement
Qualifications
- Industry experience — working mechanical engineer or current undergraduate/graduate student who has personally produced a part, assembly, or analysis that someone else manufactured, tested, or approved from
- Degree — BS, MS, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering field
- If you are in the process of completing your bachelor's degree, internship experience is required.
- Mechanical expertise — demonstrated depth in one or more of the following areas:
- Parametric solid modeling built to tolerance
- GD&T-fluent drawing interpretation
- Standards-based mechanical design calculations
- FEA validated against hand calcs
Additional Qualifications:
These are not required but will strengthen your application:
- Proficiency with tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion 360, ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, MATLAB, or comparable modeling and analysis environments
- Experience producing manufacturing-ready drawings or models — for machining, sheet metal, casting, injection molding, or additive processes
- Experience at a manufacturer, product design firm, aerospace/defense contractor, automotive supplier
Required for All Applicants:
- Based in Canada
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
- Ability to explain complex mechanical engineering concepts clearly
- Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
