Electrical Engineering Expert at Mercor
posted 3 months agoElectrical Engineering Expert | $70–$80/hr | Worldwide Remote
Mercor is seeking senior electrical engineering professionals to design evaluation tasks for AI systems operating within Fortune 500 enterprise electrical and product design environments. This is a high-impact contractor role where your deep industry expertise directly shapes how AI understands and performs complex engineering work.
Key Responsibilities
- Construct realistic enterprise electrical engineering scenarios spanning circuit and systems design, multi-stakeholder design reviews, and manufacturing or regulatory certification processes at F500 scale.
- Build tasks across power systems and grid infrastructure, semiconductor and PCB design, embedded systems and firmware, signal processing, and control systems engineering.
- Develop scenarios involving industry-standard tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence, MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE simulation platforms, and enterprise PLM/EDA systems.
- Apply enterprise methodologies — including circuit analysis, EMC/EMI compliance, control theory, and failure mode analysis — to produce reference design specifications, engineering analyses, and executive-level technical narratives.
- Author evaluation rubrics that distinguish authentic senior engineering judgment from generic, textbook-level responses.
Ideal Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience as an electrical engineer or engineering lead at a Fortune 500 technology, industrial, or energy company (e.g., Intel, Texas Instruments, GE, Siemens, Tesla).
- Direct ownership of F500-scale circuit designs, power systems, or engineering certification programs.
- Fluency in enterprise electrical engineering tooling and a strong understanding of F500 safety standards, regulatory certification (UL, FCC, IEC), and cross-functional design governance.
- Prior experience authoring rubrics, engineering training curricula, or formal design documentation is a plus.
This role is fully remote and compensated on an hourly basis. Ideal for senior engineers looking to contribute meaningfully to the development of enterprise-grade AI systems.
How to apply for this role
- Upload your resume — keep it up-to-date and in English. Mercor will auto-fill your profile from it.
- Complete the AI interview — a 15-minute conversation about your experience. Be ready to discuss specific projects and challenges you've solved.
- Submit your application — only about 20% of applicants finish all the steps, so completing yours puts you well ahead.
