Job summary

Mercor is seeking independent contractors for remote electrical engineering work. You will write a circuit or systems problem with the specification, constraints, and operating conditions, plus the reference answer a model’s attempt is graded against.

You will grade model‑written designs, evaluate topology, noise and stability margins, and timing. You will flag where a design may fail on a real board due to parasitics, tolerance stack‑up or interference. Past rates are $70–$120/hour.

Qualifications

• Experience writing specifications with constraints and operating conditions.
• Experience grading model-designed circuits and analyses including topology, noise, stability margins, and timing.
• Ability to flag where a design may fail due to parasitics, tolerance stack-up or interference.

Job description

Company: Mercor

Compensation: $70

Commitment: Talent network

Location: Remote

Referral Link: https://t.mercor.com/L8EH8

What the work looks like

• Writing a circuit or systems problem from work you have done, with the specification, the constraints, and the operating conditions, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
• Grading model-written design and analysis: whether the topology suits the requirement, whether the noise and stability margins hold, whether the timing closes
• Flagging where a model's design simulates cleanly and fails on a real board, given parasitics, tolerance stack-up, or interference

Past rates have run $70 to $120 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

What we're looking for

• A degree in electrical engineering, with professional design, test, or systems experience
• Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
• Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions

How it works

Apply here with your resume and confirm where you work from, then take a short AI interview, about 20 minutes total. We verify your background and add you to the electrical engineering pool. When a project needs electrical engineering expertise, we invite matching people from the pool to that specific listing. It names the rate, the hours, and the client, and any hiring decision is made there.

What to expect

This listing does not accept or reject candidates, so you will not get a decision on it. We reach out when a project matches your background. Depending on what our clients are running, that can be within a week or several months. Finishing the domain expert interview and joining every network you qualify for both improve your odds of being matched. You only need to sign up once to be eligible across all of them.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Contract and Payment Terms

You will be engaged as an independent contractor. This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule. Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance. Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution. Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered. Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.

About Mercor

Mercor partners with leading AI labs and enterprises to train frontier models using human expertise. You will work on projects that focus on training and enhancing AI systems. You will be paid competitively, collaborate with leading researchers, and help shape the next generation of AI systems in your area of expertise.
