Systems & Integration Engineering Experts
About the Role
Mercor is looking for deeply hands-on engineers who have integrated, tested, validated, debugged or qualified complex physical and electromechanical products, to support an advanced engineering and AI research initiative with a leading technology organization. Relevant backgrounds include systems engineering, integration and test, reliability and failure analysis, and manufacturing test.
What You'll Do
- Review system requirements, interfaces, integration plans, verification strategies, test procedures and qualification approaches.
- Analyze interactions across electrical, mechanical, firmware, thermal, controls and manufacturing domains.
- Diagnose integration failures and find root causes, reliability risks, manufacturing defects and test coverage gaps.
- Develop or review rigorous engineering problems, reference solutions, test cases and failure analyses.
- Give clear technical feedback grounded in real hardware development experience.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional systems, integration, reliability or test engineering, including 3+ recent hands-on years (not only management).
- Responsible-engineer experience on complex hardware products across requirements, integration, V&V, qualification and production.
- Depth in one core domain such as V&V, hardware integration and test, reliability, or manufacturing test.
- Command of FMEA/FMECA, fault isolation, root-cause analysis, environmental testing and design for test.
- Background in aerospace, space, automotive, semiconductors, consumer electronics, robotics or medical devices is preferred.
