hackajob is collaborating with Mercor to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.
**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**.
- Assess the technical correctness and practical feasibility of engineering solutions, test strategies, troubleshooting approaches, and system-level decisions.
- Diagnose integration failures and identify **root causes, interface issues, design deficiencies, reliability risks, manufacturing defects, and test coverage gaps**.
- Develop or review technically rigorous engineering problems, reference solutions, test cases, verification criteria, failure analyses, and technical documentation.
- Draw on practical experience with **prototype integration, bring-up, verification and validation, qualification, environmental testing, reliability testing, production test, and field failure investigation**.
- Provide clear technical feedback grounded in real-world hardware development, testing, and production experience.
### 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.
### Preferred Background
Experience working for a company that **designs, builds, integrates, tests, and manufactures complex physical hardware systems** is strongly preferred. Relevant organizations may include, but are not limited to:
- **Aerospace & Defense:**
Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX, Boeing, General Atomics, L3Harris, BAE Systems, General Dynamics, Honeywell Aerospace, Textron
- **Space:**
Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Relativity Space, Firefly Aerospace, Sierra Space, Astranis, Planet, Maxar, Axiom Space
- **Automotive & EV:**
Tesla, Rivian, General Motors, Ford, Lucid, Waymo, Zoox, Aptiv, Bosch
- **Semiconductors:**
NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel, Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Marvell, Micron, NXP, Infineon
- **Consumer Electronics & Computing:**
Apple, Google Hardware, Meta Reality Labs, Microsoft Devices, Amazon, Samsung, Garmin, Sonos
- **Drones, eVTOL & Robotics:**
Skydio, Shield AI, Zipline, Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, Boston Dynamics, Figure, Agility Robotics, Wing
- **Industrial, Energy & Medical Devices:**
Siemens, GE Aerospace, GE Vernova, ABB, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation, Enphase, Medtronic, Intuitive Surgical
Candidates from comparable hardware-focused organizations are equally encouraged to apply.
### Why Join
- Apply your systems and integration expertise to technically challenging problems at the intersection of **advanced hardware engineering and AI research**.
- Work on projects where practical experience with **real hardware integration, verification, reliability, failure analysis, and production testing** is highly valued.
- Help improve how advanced AI systems reason about **complex systems, interfaces, verification and validation, troubleshooting, reliability, manufacturing, and hardware failures**.
- Contribute remotely with flexible engagement structures alongside experienced engineers and researchers.
- Work on problems requiring genuine engineering judgment and hands-on industry experience rather than purely theoretical systems knowledge.
