Job Description

Systems and Integration Engineer evaluating complex hardware systems for Mercor’s frontier-AI training projects. Applying hands-on integration, validation, reliability, and failure-analysis expertise remotely.

Responsibilities:

  • Apply systems, integration, reliability, and test engineering expertise to complex problems involving physical products and hardware systems
  • Review and evaluate system requirements, interfaces, integration plans, verification strategies, test procedures, qualification approaches, reliability analyses, and manufacturing test workflows
  • Analyze system-level interactions across electrical, mechanical, firmware/software, thermal, controls, and manufacturing domains
  • Assess the technical correctness and practical feasibility of engineering solutions, test strategies, troubleshooting approaches, and system-level decisions
  • Diagnose integration failures and identify root causes, interface issues, design deficiencies, reliability risks, manufacturing defects, and test coverage gaps
  • Develop or review engineering problems, reference solutions, test cases, verification criteria, failure analyses, and technical documentation
  • Apply experience with prototype integration, bring-up, verification and validation, qualification, environmental testing, reliability testing, production test, and field failure investigation
  • Provide clear technical feedback grounded in real-world hardware development, testing, and production experience
  • Help improve how advanced AI systems reason about complex systems, interfaces, verification and validation, troubleshooting, reliability, manufacturing, and hardware failures
  • Collaborate remotely with experienced engineers and researchers on AI research projects

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of professional systems, integration, reliability, or test engineering experience
  • At least 3 years of recent, actively hands-on experience with hardware integration, test, validation, qualification, failure analysis, manufacturing test, or troubleshooting
  • Experience as the responsible engineer for complex physical systems or hardware products
  • Experience owning lifecycle activities from requirements and interface definition through integration, verification, qualification, production readiness, and field support
  • Deep technical expertise in systems engineering and requirements/V&V, hardware integration and test, reliability engineering and failure analysis, or manufacturing/production test engineering
  • Strong practical command of requirements traceability, interface management, verification and validation, test planning, FMEA/FMECA, fault isolation, root-cause analysis, reliability, qualification, environmental testing, design-for-test, manufacturing yield, and system-level failure modes
  • Hands-on experience integrating, instrumenting, testing, debugging, and characterizing physical hardware
  • Experience using laboratory equipment, data-acquisition systems, automated test infrastructure, environmental test equipment, diagnostic tools, and structured failure-analysis methodologies
  • Proven experience developing and validating hardware in real-world product or manufacturing environments
  • Ability to explain system decisions, integration trade-offs, test results, root causes, and failure mechanisms
  • Candidates from comparable hardware-focused organizations are encouraged to apply
  • Must be able to work as an independent contractor
  • Mercor is unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time

Benefits:

  • Fully remote role
  • Flexible engagement structures
  • Work on your own schedule
  • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
  • Competitive pay
  • Referral payments of up to $480 for each successful referral
