Mechanical Engineer - Fully Remote Contract Opportunity

About the Role

Mercor serves as a bridge between top technical experts and premier AI research institutions. With headquarters in San Francisco and backing from notable investors like Benchmark and General Catalyst, the company offers a contract opportunity for a Mechanical Engineering Expert working remotely.

Key Responsibilities

• Devise complex enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios relevant to product design lifecycles, involving collaboration with multiple stakeholders for design assessments and meeting manufacturing or regulatory certification requirements at Fortune 500 companies.
• Perform tasks encompassing product design, CAD modeling, thermal and fluid system evaluations, structural and stress testing, manufacturing process development, and reliability and failure assessments within large-scale enterprises.
• Utilize professional engineering software such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, CATIA, MATLAB/Simulink, alongside PLM systems like Siemens Teamcenter or PTC Windchill, to develop engineering solutions in Fortune 500 contexts.
• Apply structured mechanical engineering techniques including FEA/CFD simulations, design for manufacturability and assembly standards, Six Sigma methodologies, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing to generate design specifications, comprehensive analyses, and high-level technical documentation.
• Create evaluative frameworks that differentiate expert-level mechanical engineering judgment from basic academic knowledge.
