Job description

Role Overview

• Mercor is seeking senior electrical engineering professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 enterprise electrical systems and product design contexts.


• The workflows are calibrated to the design complexity, safety stakes, and production scale of Fortune 500 and large industrial and technology manufacturers.


• This role builds worlds on two standards tracks: an International track (IEC) and a US track (NEC / NFPA 70, NESC, IEEE). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.


• Contributors design enterprise electrical engineering scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior F500 engineering leaders think.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct enterprise electrical engineering scenarios spanning complex circuit and systems design cycles, multi-stakeholder design reviews, and manufacturing or regulatory certification processes at F500 accounts.


• Build tasks across F500 power systems and grid infrastructure, semiconductor and PCB design, embedded systems and firmware, signal processing, and control systems engineering.


• Develop engineering scenarios involving tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence, MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE simulation platforms, and enterprise PLM/EDA systems in F500 stacks.


• Apply enterprise electrical engineering methodologies (circuit analysis and simulation, EMC/EMI compliance, control theory, reliability and failure mode analysis) against the standards track a world targets (US: NEC / NFPA 70, NESC, IEEE; International: IEC), and produce reference design specifications, engineering analyses, and executive-level technical narratives.


• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic enterprise electrical engineering judgment from generic textbook or coursework-level recall.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years working as an electrical engineer or engineering lead at a Fortune 500 or major technology, industrial, or energy company (Intel, Texas Instruments, GE, Siemens, Tesla, ABB, Schneider Electric).


• Direct ownership of large-scale circuit designs, power systems, or engineering certification programs.


• Fluency in enterprise electrical engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how safety standards, regulatory certification (NEC / NFPA 70, IEEE, UL, FCC, IEC), 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.
