Computational Mechanics PhD - Research Benchmark Designer

Mercor; Paris; Sur place; EUR 55 000 - 83 000; Temps partiel

Résumé du poste

Mercor in Paris is seeking a Computational Structural & Mechanical Engineering Expert to design graduate-level problems that use real scientific workflows, run simulations, and interpret results. You will craft tasks that test AI systems on computational mechanics and multiphysics topics in a research-grade setting.

The role emphasizes strategic problem design over routine data labeling, with focus on open-source tools like FEniCSx, OpenFOAM, calc libs, and Python-based pipelines.

Qualifications

• Graduate-level training in a STEM field (MS/PhD preferred).
• Proven proficiency with at least one listed scientific software library.
• Strong Python skills for problem setups, validators, and orchestration.
• Ability to work independently and refine problem designs based on feedback.
• Comfortable in Linux/terminal environments with remote compute sandboxes.
• Available for 15–20 hours per week.

Responsabilités

• Design original graduate-level computational problems using real workflows.
• Create problem setups, oracle functions, and solution validators.
• Test problems against state-of-the-art AI models and refine difficulty.
• Collaborate with teams to ensure reproducibility and robust benchmarks.
