Mechanical Engineering Expert

Role Overview

• 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.
• 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 standards) 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 industrial, automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing company (GE, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Honeywell).
• Direct ownership of F500-scale product designs, manufacturing processes, or engineering certification programs.
• Fluency in enterprise mechanical engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how F500 safety standards, regulatory certification (ISO, FAA, FDA), and cross-functional design governance actually work.
• Prior rubric, engineering-training curriculum, or design documentation authorship is a plus.
