h3Engineering Design and Simulation (CAD Simulation Consultant) - Aerospace / Mechanical / Electrical Engineering /h3pProlific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world. /ppOver 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. /ph3About the Project: /h3pWe are building a benchmark of physical engineering design tasks across mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering. Each task describes what a device must do. 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. /ph3Role Overview: /h3pWe 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. /ph3Key Responsibilities: /h3ulliStrong proficiency in CAD engineering and simulation tools /lilicandidates must have a bminimum of 5+ years of experience /b working in CAD engineering and simulation-focused organizations /liliStrong aerospace/mechanical/electrical engineering fundamentals /liliHands‑on experience with modeling, simulation,
