Engineering Expert
Mercor
$60 – $125/hour · as listed
Mercor connects experienced engineers with AI research teams building frontier models. As an Engineering Expert, you'll provide specialized technical judgment and written analysis that helps evaluate and improve cutting-edge AI systems. Your expertise in STEM becomes the standard by which advanced models are assessed—reviewing outputs, identifying gaps, and offering the kind of nuanced engineering perspective that's difficult for AI to generate independently.
This is remote, part-time work suited to advanced-level engineers who can commit around 40 hours per week. Projects vary in scope and timeline, so this is a standing opportunity rather than a single fixed assignment. You'll work directly with research teams on AI training and evaluation tasks that require real domain expertise and critical thinking.
Compensation ranges from $60 to $125 per hour, depending on your experience and the specific project requirements.
