Commitment: Part time, ~40 h/week

Field: Other Engineering

The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for mechanical engineering judgment they can't generate on their own. This is a standing listing for mechanical engineers who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week.

New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.

We match mechanical engineers in the network to projects like:

Writing a design problem from work you have done, with the loads, the constraints, and the tolerances, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against

Grading model-written analysis: whether the free body diagram is right, whether the failure mode considered is the governing one,



whether the safety factor is applied to the right quantity

Flagging where a model's design satisfies the calculation and fails in practice, given manufacturability, assembly, wear, or thermal expansion

Past rates have run $70 to $125 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

A degree in mechanical engineering, with qualified design or analysis experience

We verify your background and add you to the mechanical engineering pool.

When a project needs mechanical engineering expertise, we invite matching people from the pool to that specific listing. We reach out when a project matches your background. Finishing the domain expert interview and joining every network you qualify for both improve your odds of being matched.
