Position: Mechanical Engineering Expert
Type:Contract
Compensation:$70–$80/hour
Location:Remote

Role Responsibilities

• Construct enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios for complex product design cycles, multi-stakeholder design reviews, and manufacturing or regulatory certification processes at Fortune 500 accounts.
• Build tasks across Fortune 500 product design and CAD modeling, thermal/fluid systems analysis, structural and stress analysis, manufacturing process engineering, and reliability/failure analysis.
• Develop engineering scenarios using tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, CATIA, MATLAB/Simulink, and enterprise PLM systems (Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill) in Fortune 500 stacks.
• Apply enterprise mechanical engineering methodologies (FEA/CFD simulation, DFM/DFA principles, Six Sigma/DFSS, GD&T standards) to produce reference design specifications, engineering analyses, and executive-level technical narratives.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic enterprise mechanical engineering judgment from generic textbook or coursework-level recall.

Qualifications

Must-Have

• 5+ years working as a mechanical engineer or engineering lead at a Fortune 500 industrial, automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing company (GE, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Honeywell).
• Direct ownership of Fortune 500-scale product designs, manufacturing processes, or engineering certification programs.
• Fluency in enterprise mechanical engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how Fortune 500 safety standards, regulatory certification (ISO, FAA, FDA), and cross-functional design governance work.

Preferred

• Prior rubric, engineering-training curriculum, or design documentation authorship.
