Medical Devices Expert

Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs on Project Atlas — an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments that frontier AI agents are trained and evaluated in. We're seeking experienced medical-device professionals from Fortune 500 device manufacturers (e.g., Medtronic, Stryker, Boston Scientific, Abbott, J&J MedTech, GE Healthcare) to recreate the digital workspaces they run every day and design the tasks that genuinely challenge state-of-the-art AI.

You'll bring your expertise in device R&D, regulatory affairs, quality, manufacturing, or clinical affairs to build a high-fidelity environment that mirrors the tools, files, and cross-functional workflows of a regulated medical-device enterprise — and then author tasks grounded in the programs you actually run today.

Key Responsibilities

• Build a realistic digital workspace centered on the Drive folders you use day-to-day — the design history files, regulatory submissions, DHF / DMR documents, risk-analysis matrices, validation protocols, CAPA records, and email threads that reflect how you actually organize your work — with some representation of the platforms that support it (e.g., ANSYS Fluent simulations, Siemens Opcenter MES, DocuSign)
• Design multi-step tasks grounded in your real workflows that require navigating multiple apps, files, and stakeholders in a way that meaningfully challenges frontier AI agents
• Collaborate with other medical-device experts in your field to design the environment, shape task scope, and review each other's scenarios for realism and rigor
• Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task designs and evaluation criteria for medical-device agent benchmarks
• Contribute to frontier AI research and benchmarking — the work you produce directly informs how leading labs train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems

Ideal Qualifications

• 3+ years of full-time experience at a Fortune 500 medical-device manufacturer or large Tier-1 contract developer / manufacturer
• Background in one or more areas such as:
  • Regulatory affairs (510(k), PMA, De Novo, EU MDR, technical files)
  • Quality engineering / eQMS under 21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, ISO 14971
  • R&D or design controls (software-of-a-medical-device / SaMD a plus)
  • Manufacturing engineering, process validation, or supplier quality
  • Clinical affairs, post-market surveillance, MDR/vigilance reporting
• Certifications a plus: RAC, ASQ CQE / CRE / CBA
• Day-to-day use of ANSYS Fluent / STAR-CCM+, Siemens Opcenter or Rockwell FactoryTalk, and DocuSign
• Strong analytical thinking and writing — able to translate regulated-device workflows into structured task specs

Compensation Note

• Task Completion Pay: Competitive and based on task quality (~$900 – $1,250 per completed task, subject to change as the project evolves)
• Performance Bonus: Top performers receive a weekly bonus incentive on top of their per task rate!
• Hourly Opportunity: Top performers may be invited to transition to an hourly compensation model based on sustained quality and throughput.
