Quality & Compliance Engineering Expert

What you’ll do

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in quality engineering. As a Quality & Compliance Engineering Expert, you’ll build long-horizon quality tasks that mirror the work you already do, each paired with a deterministic rubric that grades agent performance against verifiable ground truth. Tasks need to have checkable answers; no open-ended essays, no subjective judgment calls.

Expect to build scenarios across:

• Non-conformance and CAPA: NCRs with required fields, CAPAs with a documented correct root cause and containment action
• Audit preparation: responses against specific ISO/FDA clauses with known correct citations
• Verification and validation: inspection protocols and IQ/OQ/PQ with defined acceptance criteria and pass/fail outcomes

These scenarios will be challenging and take long sessions of focus.

Who we’re looking for

• BS in Engineering; 3+ years in quality engineering or compliance in a regulated industry (medical device, aerospace, auto, pharma)
• Expertise in one or more of the following: ISO 9001, ISO 13485, FDA QSR / 21 CFR 820, IATF 16949, AS9100, ISO 14971, CAPA methodology
• Comfortable reading and producing quality artifacts: NCRs, CAPAs, audit responses, V&V protocols
• Clear written communication; can articulate reasoning step by step and encode it into deterministic rubrics
• ASQ CQE/CQA or equivalent a plus

Compensation

$75–$100/hr depending on domain depth and prior experience. Strong contributors are promoted based on task quality and throughput.
