About this opportunity
Overview
Mercor is hiring Mechanical Design and CAD Engineers to support a leading AI lab’s GenAI team by improving the quality of AI training data for mechanical design, parametric CAD, 3D modeling, and design for manufacturing topics. The work is fully remote and intended for candidates who can contribute reliably on weekdays for at least 20 hours per week.
The posting describes a W-2 employment arrangement with Cincinnatus LLC as employer of record, while placing selected workers directly within client teams. It also notes that, in practice, the engagement is to be treated as an independent contractor arrangement for project work, with weekly payments processed through Stripe or Wise.

- Design challenging, domain-relevant tasks and write accurate, well-structured solutions to mechanical design and CAD problems.
- Review mechanical design and CAD tasks and solutions, then provide clear written technical feedback.
- Create and evaluate CAD modeling tasks, engineering drawings, and design problems, including accurate reference models and solutions.
- Develop rubrics for geometric accuracy, design intent, tolerancing (GD&T), and manufacturability.
- Work with other subject matter experts to keep training data consistent and accurate.
Qualifications
- At least 4 years of dedicated professional experience in mechanical design or CAD engineering at a recognized, top-tier organization or leading product design/manufacturing firm.
- Strong proficiency in at least one parametric CAD tool such as SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, Creo, Onshape, or Fusion 360.
- Working knowledge of GD&T, engineering drawings, and design for manufacturing.
- Demonstrated career progression.
- Ability to commit at least 20 hours per week during weekdays.
- Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly.
Additional Notes
