About the Role
Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team to be at the core of the AI revolution, where your expertise fuels the development of the most advanced AI models. A leading AI lab is growing a team of chip design and verification engineers to help shape how its models understand real hardware engineering work. If you've spent your career chasing down a bug across multiple blocks, architected a piece of RTL from scratch, or fought a design through timing and coverage closure, we want to hear from you - the goal is to bring that same kind of real
What You'll Do
Design and write up realistic chip engineering problems drawn from your own experience - the kind of design, debugging, or verification work you've actually done, not textbook exercises.
Build out full solutions to go with them: reference RTL, testbenches, and supporting materials, using SystemVerilog/Verilog and the tools you already know.
Run your problems against an AI model, see where it holds up and where it doesn't, and help explain why.
Work alongside other engineers on the team to keep everyone's work at a consistent bar of rigor and difficulty.
Independent contractor engagement, fully remote. Mercor pays weekly via Stripe or Wise.
