Inorganic Materials, Semiconductor & Superconductor Experts
Math & ScienceRemoteHourly contractAlways-open talent poolPosted Aug 1
Mercor keeps this listing open to build a pool of candidates. Applying puts you in the pool; it is not a single fresh opening.
Mercor is seeking experimental scientists and engineers across inorganic synthesis, characterization, superconductors, and semiconductors (including advanced packaging) to support a frontier AI research lab building models for materials science and the physical sciences. This is hands-on, expert-level work: you'll apply deep, specialized knowledge to generate, structure, and evaluate the scientific data these models learn from — and your input will directly shape how advanced models reason about materials, devices, and processes.
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute domain expertise across synthesis, characterization, fabrication, and device physics to build high-quality training and evaluation data.
- Review and evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning, catching errors and improving technical accuracy.
- Design and solve challenging, expert-level problems in your area of specialization.
- Rate and rank model outputs against defined scientific criteria, with clear written reasoning.
- Structure technical knowledge — experimental procedures, characterization results, process data — into well-organized, model-ready data.
- Deliver reliable, high-quality work within defined timelines.
Role Details
- Type: Long-term, ongoing engagement
- Engagement: Up to 40 hours/week (minimum 10)
