Remote Manufacturing - Electronics Expert - AI Trainer ($900-$1250 per hour)

Role Overview Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs on Project Atlas — an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments that frontier AI agents are trained and evaluated in. We’re seeking experienced electronics‑manufacturing and hardware‑engineering professionals from Fortune 500 semiconductor, consumer‑electronics, and networking‑hardware companies (e.g., Intel, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Micron, Apple, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Nvidia, AMD, Cisco, TE Connectivity, Amphenol) to recreate the digital workspaces they run every day and design the tasks that genuinely challenge state‑of‑the‑art AI. You’ll bring your expertise in semiconductor design or fabrication, PCB / electronic‑assembly, hardware test engineering, or electronics supply‑chain to build a high‑fidelity environment that mirrors the tools, files, and cross‑functional workflows of a modern electronics enterprise — and then author tasks grounded in the programs you actually run today. Key Responsibilities Build a realistic digital workspace centered on the Drive folders you use day‑to‑day — the design review decks, schematic / layout files, test reports, yield analyses, BOMs, ECOs, reliability / validation reports, and email threads that reflect how you actually organize your work — with some representation of the platforms that support it (e.g., ANSYS Fluent simulations, Siemens Opcenter MES, GitHub / GitLab) Design multi‑step tasks grounded in your real workflows that require navigating multiple apps, files, and stakeholders in a way that meaningfully challenges frontier AI agents Collaborate with other electronics‑manufacturing experts in your field to design the environment, shape task scope, and review each other’s scenarios for realism and rigor Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task designs and evaluation criteria for electronics‑manufacturing agent benchmarks Contribute to frontier AI research and benchmarking — the work you produce directly informs how leading labs train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems Ideal Qualifications BS / MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline 3+ years of full‑time experience at a Fortune 500 semiconductor, consumer‑electronics, or networking‑hardware company, or a major contract manufacturer (Foxconn, Flex, Jabil, Celestica) Background in one or more areas such as: Semiconductor design (digital / analog / mixed‑signal, IC / SoC) Semiconductor fabrication, process integration, or yield engineering PCB design, electronic‑assembly, or SMT manufacturing Hardware test engineering, validation, or reliability (HALT / HASS) Electronics supply‑chain, sourcing, or NPI / sustaining engineering Day‑to‑day use of ANSYS Fluent / STAR‑CCM+, Siemens Opcenter or Rockwell FactoryTalk, and GitHub / GitLab Strong analytical thinking and writing — able to translate electronics workflows into structured task specs Compensation Note Task Completion Pay : Competitive and based on task quality (~$900 – $1,250 per completed task, subject to change as the project evolves) Performance Bonus : Top performers receive a weekly bonus incentive on top of their per task rate! Hourly Opportunity : Top performers may be invited to transition to an hourly compensation model based on sustained quality and throughput. #J-18808-Ljbffr Mercor
