Medical Devices Expert at Mercor

Medical Devices Expert | $55–75/hr | Worldwide Remote

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs on Project Atlas — an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments where frontier AI agents are trained and evaluated. We're seeking experienced medical device professionals from Fortune 500 device manufacturers (e.g., Medtronic, Stryker, Boston Scientific, Abbott, J&J MedTech, GE Healthcare) to recreate the digital workspaces they use daily and design tasks that genuinely challenge state-of-the-art AI systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Build a realistic digital workspace using real-world Drive folders, design history files, regulatory submissions, DHF/DMR documents, risk-analysis matrices, validation protocols, CAPA records, and email threads — with representation of supporting platforms such as ANSYS Fluent, Siemens Opcenter MES, and DocuSign
• Design multi-step tasks grounded in actual workflows that require navigating multiple apps, files, and stakeholders to meaningfully challenge frontier AI agents
• Collaborate with other medical device experts to shape task scope and review scenarios for realism and rigor
• Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task designs and evaluation criteria for medical device agent benchmarks
• Contribute directly to frontier AI research — your work informs how leading labs train and evaluate next-generation AI systems

Ideal Qualifications

• 3+ years of full-time experience at a Fortune 500 medical device manufacturer or large Tier-1 contract developer/manufacturer
• Background in one or more of the following areas:
  • Regulatory affairs (510(k), PMA, De Novo, EU MDR, technical files)
  • Quality engineering / eQMS under 21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, ISO 14971
  • R&D or design controls (SaMD experience a plus)
  • Manufacturing engineering, process validation, or supplier quality
  • Clinical affairs, post-market surveillance, MDR/vigilance reporting
• Certifications a plus: RAC, ASQ CQE / CRE / CBA
• Day-to-day experience with ANSYS Fluent / STAR-CCM+, Siemens Opcenter or Rockwell FactoryTalk, and DocuSign
• Strong analytical thinking and writing skills — able to translate regulated device workflows into structured task specifications

Compensation

This project begins at an effective hourly rate of $55–$75/hr, with a planned transition to a throughput-based compensation model rewarding quality output.
