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 experienced Systems & Integration Engineers to support an advanced engineering and AI research initiative with a leading technology organization. We are looking for deeply hands-on engineers who have integrated, tested, validated, debugged, qualified, or analyzed complex real-world hardware and electromechanical systems in production environments.

Relevant backgrounds include

Systems Engineering
Integration & Test Engineering
Reliability / Failure Analysis Engineering
Manufacturing Test Engineering

This role is particularly well suited for engineers who have worked directly on complex physical products and can bring practical engineering judgment to system integration, verification and validation, reliability, root-cause analysis, manufacturing test, and cross-functional hardware troubleshooting.

Key Responsibilities

Apply hands-on systems, integration, reliability, and test engineering expertise to technically complex problems involving real physical products and hardware systems.
Review and evaluate system requirements, interfaces, integration plans, verification strategies, test procedures, qualification approaches, reliability analyses, and manufacturing test workflows.
Analyze system-level interactions across electrical, mechanical, firmware/software, thermal, controls, and manufacturing domains.

You’re a Strong Fit If You Have

5+ years of professional systems, integration, reliability, or test engineering experience, including at least 3 years of recent, actively hands-on experience with hardware integration, test, validation, qualification, failure analysis, manufacturing test, or troubleshooting—not solely program or people management.

Demonstrated experience as the responsible engineer for complex physical systems or hardware products, owning meaningful portions of the lifecycle from requirements and interface definition through integration, verification, qualification, production readiness, and field support.

Deep technical expertise in at least one core domain: systems engineering and requirements/V&V; hardware integration and test; reliability engineering and failure analysis; or manufacturing/production test engineering.

Strong practical command of requirements traceability, interface management, verification and validation, test planning, FMEA/FMECA, fault isolation, root-cause analysis, reliability, qualification, environmental testing, design-for-test, manufacturing yield, and system-level failure modes, as applicable to the candidate's specialization.

Extensive hands-on experience integrating, instrumenting, testing, debugging, and characterizing physical hardware, using relevant laboratory equipment, data-acquisition systems, automated test infrastructure, environmental test equipment, diagnostic tools, and structured failure-analysis methodologies.

Proven experience developing and validating hardware in real-world product or manufacturing environments, ideally across aerospace/defense, space, automotive/EV, semiconductors, consumer electronics, robotics/eVTOL, industrial/energy, or medical devices—e.g., Lockheed Martin, RTX, Boeing, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Tesla, Rivian, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel, Apple, Google, Meta, Skydio, Shield AI, Joby, Boston Dynamics, Siemens, GE Aerospace, ABB, Medtronic, or Intuitive Surgical—with the ability to clearly explain system decisions, integration trade-offs, test results, root causes, and failure mechanisms.
