Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Expert at Mercor

Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Expert | $75–$100/hr | Remote (US & Canada)

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in mechanical and industrial engineering. In this role, you'll design challenging, long-horizon engineering tasks that mirror real-world work — each paired with a deterministic rubric grading AI agent performance against verifiable ground truth. All tasks must have checkable, objective answers.

What You'll Do

• Design Review: Evaluate drawings and GD&T against defect lists; validate CAD models against specified dimensions.
• Analysis: Build tolerance stack-ups with computable results; conduct DFM/DFA reviews against defined checklists.
• Change Management: Create ECO scenarios with required fields; structure BOMs to match target configurations.

These tasks require deep focus and extended work sessions — expect intellectually demanding, high-quality engineering work.

Who We're Looking For

• BS or MS in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering with 3+ years in design, manufacturing engineering, or product development.
• Proficiency in one or more: CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Fusion 360), GD&T, PLM systems (Arena, Teamcenter, Windchill), or manufacturing processes (machining, injection molding, sheet metal, additive manufacturing).
• Comfortable producing and interpreting mechanical artifacts: 2D drawings, BOMs, tolerance analyses, ECOs, and DFM reviews.
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to articulate step-by-step reasoning and encode it into structured rubrics.
• Must be located in the United States or Canada.

Compensation

$75–$100/hr based on domain expertise and experience. High-performing contributors are promoted based on task quality and throughput.
