What this role involves
Mercor is seeking senior mechanical engineering professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 enterprise product design and manufacturing contexts. The workflows are calibrated to the design complexity, safety stakes, and production scale of Fortune 500 and large industrial manufacturers. This role builds worlds on two standards tracks: a US track (ASME) and an International track (ISO). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
Contributors design enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior F500 engineering leaders think.
Key Responsibilities
Construct enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios spanning complex product design cycles, multi-stakeholder design reviews, and manufacturing or regulatory certification processes at F500 accounts. Build tasks across F500 product design and CAD modeling, thermal/fluid systems analysis, structural and stress analysis, manufacturing process engineering, and reliability/failure analysis.
Develop engineering scenarios involving tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, CATIA, MATLAB/Simulink, and enterprise PLM systems (Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill) in F500 stacks. Apply enterprise mechanical engineering methodologies (FEA/CFD simulation, DFM/DFA principles, Six Sigma/DFSS, GD&T per ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS) and produce reference design specifications, engineering analyses, and executive-level technical narratives.
Author rubrics that distinguish authentic enterprise mechanical engineering judgment from generic textbook or coursework-level recall.
Ideal Qualifications
5+ years working as a mechanical engineer or engineering lead at a Fortune 500 or major industrial, automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing company (GE, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Honeywell, Siemens, Bosch, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries). Direct ownership of large-scale product designs, manufacturing processes, or engineering certification programs.
Fluency in enterprise mechanical engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how safety standards, regulatory certification (ASME, ISO, FAA, FDA), and cross-functional design governance actually work. A professional engineering credential (US PE or an international equivalent such as CEng or EUR ING) and prior rubric, engineering-training curriculum, or design documentation authorship are a plus.
