Commercial Video Editor & Post-Production Lead (AI Evaluation)

**Role Overview**

- Mercor is seeking senior mechanical engineering professionals to review evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 enterprise product design and manufacturing contexts.
    
- The workflows are calibrated to the design complexity, safety stakes, and production scale of Fortune 500 and large industrial manufacturers.
    
- This role reviews worlds on two standards tracks: a US track (ASME) and an International track (ISO). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
    
- Reviewers assess enterprise mechanical engineering scenarios, reference outputs, and grading rubrics that capture how senior F500 engineering leaders think.
    

**Key Responsibilities**

- Review mechanical engineering tasks, reference outputs, and supporting artifacts for technical accuracy, realism, and professional complexity.

- Independently check engineering calculations, design assumptions, analyses, and conclusions against the applicable standards track.

- Review design documentation and relevant CAD or simulation evidence to identify errors, omissions, and inconsistent assumptions.

- Evaluate grading rubrics for clarity, specificity, and whether they distinguish sound professional engineering judgment from generic textbook recall.

- Provide clear written feedback and verify that revisions resolve the identified issues.

**Ideal Qualifications**

- 5+ years working as a mechanical engineer or engineering lead at a Fortune 500 or major industrial, automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing company (GE, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Honeywell, Siemens, Bosch, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries).
    
- Direct ownership of large-scale product designs, manufacturing processes, or engineering certification programs.
    
- Fluency in enterprise mechanical engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how safety standards, regulatory certification (ASME, ISO, FAA, FDA), 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.

- Ability to commit 30–40 hours/week as your primary work focus, with availability for occasional meetings with the lab's researchers. Given that time commitment, this role isn't a fit alongside a full-time job.
    
- Exclusivity: no work with another AI lab or AI training company, including other Mercor projects, during the engagement.
    
- Authorized to work in the country you live in.
    
- Able to complete any necessary background checks and confidentiality agreements before starting, and to work on a company-provided device to protect the security of information.

**Help define how frontier AI models reason about physics.**

## 1\. Overview

We are looking for senior physicists to improve how frontier AI models reason about real physics research.

Your scientific judgment is the substance of this role. You will review the quality of physics reasoning tasks and model outputs, write the problem specifications and reference solutions that define what "correct" looks like, and design benchmarks that show whether a model is genuinely improving. We are looking for a practicing specialist rather than a generalist.

This role is fully remote.

## 2\. Key Responsibilities

- **Expert review:** Assess physics tasks and model outputs, catching flawed derivations, unjustified approximations, dimensional and limit errors, and answers that read well but would not survive peer review.
- **Problem specs and reference solutions:** Write precise problem statements and rigorous reference solutions that reflect how research physics is actually done.
- **Benchmarks:** Design challenging, research-level problems and evaluation sets in your area of specialization.
- **Calibration:** Work with other researchers and experts in adjacent fields to turn tacit expert judgment into explicit, teachable criteria.

## 3\. Core Qualifications

- **Education:** PhD in physics, astrophysics, applied physics, or a closely related field.
- **Seniority:** A faculty appointment, principal investigator, staff or senior scientist, or an equivalent senior research role at a university, national laboratory, or research organization.
- **Domain depth:** Genuine specialization in at least one area, for example condensed matter, high-energy or particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology, atomic, molecular, optical and quantum physics, or statistical and computational physics.
- **Research record:** A strong peer-reviewed publication record. Recognition such as competitive fellowships or awards is a plus.
- **AI fluency:** Hands-on use of large language models in your work, and the judgment to tell a sound argument from a plausible-sounding wrong one.
- **Communication:** Excellent written communication and the ability to give precise, well-structured feedback.
- **Location:** Based in the United States.

Psychiatrist

## About the work

We are building a dataset of real retail trading behavior: complete brokerage trade histories, paired with the trader's own explanation of how they trade and why they made their biggest decisions. The data is used to study and model how individual traders make decisions.

This is a one-time task, paid a flat **$400** on completion.

## What you will do

1. **Upload your trade history.** Export your complete transaction history from your U.S. brokerage account using the broker's standard export, and upload it to our platform. It must cover at least 24 months and include every trade, with none removed. Remove your name, account numbers, address and other personal details before uploading.
    
2. **Describe your trading style.** Write a short summary (about 100 to 250 words) of your strategy, typical holding period, the instruments you trade and the platforms you use.
    
3. **Explain your 5 biggest trades.** Pick at least 5 of your most significant or influential trades, such as large gains, large losses or high-conviction calls, with stocks preferred. For each, explain your reasoning at entry or exit and what information drove the decision. Keep any reflection on how it turned out separate from your original reasoning. Each explanation must name a specific trade in your history, with the symbol, date, side and quantity matching that trade.
    

The writing takes up to about 1.5 hours.

## Pay

- **$400, paid once** you have uploaded your full history and fully annotated at least 5 trades.
    
- Partial submissions are not paid: the upload and all 5 annotations are required.
    

## Who we are looking for

- **Location:** United States only.
    
- **Trading experience:** at least 2 years of active trading on your own account, and at least 1,000 trades over that period (about 2 per trading day).
    
- **Instruments:** stocks; options count too.
    
- **Broker:** your account is with a U.S. retail broker, such as Robinhood, Schwab, Fidelity, E\*TRADE, Webull or Interactive Brokers.
    
- **Background:** any. No minimum education and any field of study, from current college students to graduate-degree holders. Non-finance professionals, finance professionals and full-time traders all qualify. Current or former professional traders can take part using their own personal account only.
    
- **Age:** 18 or older.
    
- **Willing to** share your complete brokerage trade history, with no trades removed.
    

## Not a fit

- Fewer than 2 years of history, or fewer than 1,000 trades
    
- Trading only through an account you don't own, such as a managed, employer or prop-firm account
    
- Trading mostly crypto or futures
    

## Data license agreement

Taking part requires signing Mercor's Expert Content License Agreement, which covers how your trading history and annotations are licensed and used. You sign it as part of applying.
