Archer is matching candidates to this role at Mercor. Create a free profile and Archer will check you against this role and every other live role, showing you exactly where you match.

**About the role** A frontier engineering-reasoning evaluation run in collaboration with a leading AI research lab. The work measures whether state-of-the-art models can reason from first principles in your engineering domain rather than retrieve facts from training data — and you get visibility into the model's internal reasoning on your own tasks. **What you'll do** Domain experts write simulations and specification sheets; the model attempts to design an artifact — controller gains, circuit parameters, geometry — that satisfies every spec. You define the simulation, a set of specs with pass/fail thresholds, and the prompt. The model probes your simulation with a limited number of calls, then submits a final design. An agentic grader runs the simulation and scores spec satisfaction. **Who we're looking for** - Deep applied expertise in control systems, analog or RF circuits, power electronics, or mechanical design — PhD or equivalent industry track record. - Comfortable writing simulations in Python and expressing acceptance criteria as quantitative, testable thresholds. - Able to design a problem you can't shortcut yourself, but can still judge rigorously. - Comfortable working in a browser-based studio and GitHub. **Support** Onboarding calls run daily, alongside internal tooling built to help you work faster. Prior model-evaluation experience is not required.
