**Mercor is seeking expert engineers in Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil Engineering for a premier project with one of the world's top AI labs.**
In this role, you will contribute your engineering expertise to a cutting-edge project involving state-of-the-art large language models. Specifically, you will help create high-quality data that will inform the future of AI innovation by modeling how expert engineers solve complex design and analysis problems in foundational domains.
### You're a good fit if you:
- Work in a core engineering discipline such as:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Or a closely related subfield
- Engage in hands-on analytical or design work rather than purely managerial responsibilities
- Routinely solve intricate technical challenges such as:
- Structural analysis for bridges or buildings
- Electromechanical system design
- Power electronics prototyping
- Finite element modeling (FEM/FEA), control systems, or numerical simulations
- Perform intellectually demanding tasks, including:
- Developing analytical or numerical models
- Creating detailed CAD or PCB layouts
- Running simulations (CFD, FEA, circuit, or control models)
- Validating prototypes and interpreting test data
- Approach your work with deep reasoning, trade-off analysis, and iterative problem-solving
- Communicate clearly and with technical precision
### Here are more details about the role:
- The role is ongoing, starting at the end of June/beginning of July and continuing with rolling applications
- The project involves 10–20 hours of work per week with the potential to expand up to 40 hours per week
### Ideal candidates include:
- **Academic Track:**
- Professors (Assistant, Associate, or Full) who are still directly involved in hands-on design or research
- Late-stage PhD students (year 4+) in core engineering fields with substantial independent design work
- At least one peer-reviewed publication or conference proceeding in venues like ASME, IEEE, or ACI
- **Industry Track:**
- Field leads, senior/principal engineers, or senior staff engineers who guide architecture while staying technically deep
- Evidence of significant design ownership, such as:
- Patents
- Released hardware products or systems
- Standards contributions
- Major infrastructure or engineering projects
### Screening Process:
- You will need to complete a short interview and form, which will take a total of 20–30 minutes to fully apply
