Mechanical Engineering Writer

Role Overview

• Mercor is seeking senior mechanical engineering professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 enterprise product design and manufacturing contexts.
• The workflows are calibrated to the design complexity, safety stakes, and production scale of Fortune 500 and large industrial manufacturers.
• This role builds worlds on two standards tracks: a US track (ASME) and an International track (ISO). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
• Contributors design enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior F500 engineering leaders think.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios spanning complex product design cycles, multi-stakeholder design reviews, and manufacturing or regulatory certification processes at F500 accounts.
• Build tasks across F500 product design and CAD modeling, thermal/fluid systems analysis, structural and stress analysis, manufacturing process engineering, and reliability/failure analysis.
• Develop engineering scenarios involving tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, CATIA, MATLAB/Simulink, and enterprise PLM systems (Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill) in F500 stacks.
• Apply enterprise mechanical engineering methodologies (FEA/CFD simulation, DFM/DFA principles, Six Sigma/DFSS, GD&T per ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS) and produce reference design specifications, engineering analyses, and executive-level technical narratives.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic enterprise mechanical engineering judgment from generic textbook or coursework-level recall.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years working as a mechanical engineer or engineering lead at a Fortune 500 or major industrial, automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing company (GE, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Honeywell, Siemens, Bosch, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries).
• Direct ownership of large-scale product designs, manufacturing processes, or engineering certification programs.
• Fluency in enterprise mechanical engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how safety standards, regulatory certification (ASME, ISO, FAA, FDA), 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.
