What this actually is
You complete short labeling tasks, record everyday activities, or evaluate AI outputs across general knowledge domains. Open to most backgrounds. The platform title (Electrical Engineering Writer) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.
How Mercor picks people
- Upload your CV and answer the role's written questions.
- Do a video interview with Mercor's AI interviewer. Most take about 20 minutes, in English unless the role says otherwise.
- Some roles add a skills test. A test you pass once counts for similar roles.
- The project team reviews your results and sends offers to the people it picks.
Before you start
- Take Mercor's free practice interview first. It does not count toward any application.
- Use Chrome on a computer with a camera and microphone, in a quiet room.
- You can retake an official interview up to 3 times, but hiring teams see how many times you retook it.
Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

Role Overview
- Mercor is seeking senior electrical engineering professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 enterprise electrical systems and product design contexts.
- The workflows are calibrated to the design complexity, safety stakes, and production scale of Fortune 500 and large industrial and technology manufacturers.
- This role builds worlds on two standards tracks: an International track (IEC) and a US track (NEC / NFPA 70, NESC, IEEE). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
- Contributors design enterprise electrical engineering scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior F500 engineering leaders think.
Key Responsibilities
- Construct enterprise electrical engineering scenarios spanning complex circuit and systems design cycles, multi-stakeholder design reviews, and manufacturing or regulatory certification processes at F500 accounts.
- Build tasks across F500 power systems and grid infrastructure, semiconductor and PCB design, embedded systems and firmware, signal processing, and control systems engineering.
- Develop engineering scenarios involving tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence, MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE simulation platforms, and enterprise PLM/EDA systems in F500 stacks.
- Apply enterprise electrical engineering methodologies (circuit analysis and simulation, EMC/EMI compliance, control theory, reliability and failure mode analysis) against the standards track a world targets (US: NEC / NFPA 70, NESC, IEEE; International: IEC), and produce reference design specifications, engineering analyses, and executive-level technical narratives.
- Author rubrics that distinguish authentic enterprise electrical engineering judgment from generic textbook or coursework-level recall.
Ideal Qualifications
- 5+ years working as an electrical engineer or engineering lead at a Fortune 500 or major technology, industrial, or energy company (Intel, Texas Instruments, GE, Siemens, Tesla, ABB, Schneider Electric).
- Direct ownership of large-scale circuit designs, power systems, or engineering certification programs.
- Fluency in enterprise electrical engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how safety standards, regulatory certification (NEC / NFPA 70, IEEE, UL, FCC, IEC), 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.
