Strategic Project Lead - Physical Engineering

Role overview Lead technical projects that turn real-world physical engineering work into structured tasks, expert-reviewed data, and evaluations for AI training and assessment. The role calls for hands-on expertise in at least one engineering discipline and collaboration across customer, research, operations, and specialist teams. Leadership comes through technical judgment and influence rather than direct people management.

Responsibilities - Convert customer needs into realistic engineering tasks, data specifications, and measurable acceptance criteria. - Review source materials, assess feasibility, and create representative samples for project planning. - Develop multi-step tasks and reference solutions based on real engineering models, drawings, calculations, and specifications. - Lead pilots from sample creation and expert onboarding through quality review and customer acceptance. - Partner with operations to move projects into production while maintaining technical quality. - Build specialist contributor networks and work with research and tooling teams on verification methods and consistent evaluations.

Requirements - Bachelor’s degree or higher in mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, or a closely related engineering discipline. - At least 3–5 years of hands-on experience in a physical engineering field. - Practical experience with engineering tools and CAE workflows, including interpreting analyses and checking assumptions, constraints, and results. - Familiarity with technical materials such as CAD or BIM models, drawings, schematics, calculations, simulations, or specifications. - Experience leading technical projects from scoping and estimation through delivery, with direct involvement in the work. - Ability to evaluate engineering outputs, set quality standards, and communicate requirements clearly across teams.

Nice to have - A relevant master’s or doctoral degree. - Experience creating engineering data or evaluation tasks for AI training, benchmarking, or model assessment. - Familiarity with CAD/BIM interoperability, open engineering formats, or structured validation. - Experience coordinating distributed specialists or external engineering contributors.
