Role overview

About the Role

Mercor is partnering with a leading technology organization to recruit experienced Electrical Test Automation Engineers for a short-term project. Engineers will apply hands-on industry experience in electrical testing, automation, instrumentation, and hardware validation to solve complex technical problems.

What You'll Do

- Design and implement automated test systems, procedures, and test sequences for electrical and electronic hardware.

- Integrate test instruments, data acquisition systems, and hardware interfaces to automate measurements and testing.

- Develop test scripts, automation frameworks, and data analysis workflows.

- Perform functional, performance, validation, regression, and HIL testing where applicable.

- Analyze test results, troubleshoot hardware and test setups, and identify root causes of failures.

- Review and validate test methodologies, results, and technical approaches against project requirements.

Who Should Apply

- Electrical Test, Test Automation, Electrical, or Hardware Test Engineers with hands-on industry experience.

- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, or a related field.

- Experience developing or executing automated electrical test systems and working with laboratory instrumentation.

- Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, C/C++, or equivalent.

- Experience with test automation, data acquisition, and instrument-control protocols such as SCPI, GPIB, USB, Ethernet, CAN, or RS-232/485.

- Ability to interpret electrical schematics, test specifications, and technical documentation.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with ATE, automated test benches, custom test fixtures, NI hardware, LabVIEW/TestStand, PXI/PXIe, or DAQ systems.

- Experience with HIL/SIL, automated regression testing, or Python-based test automation.

- Experience testing power electronics, batteries, EVs, motors, embedded systems, or other complex electrical hardware.

- Experience with high-voltage or safety-critical systems is a plus.

Project Details

- Duration: Short-term project

- Work Type: Electrical test automation, technical problem-solving, and expert evaluation

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

How big is the remote / hybrid opportunity?

Remote work is already huge — but the bigger story may be the hundreds of millions of jobs that could still move beyond geography.

Global remote and hybrid work opportunity infographic

Remote work already connects millions of people with companies they would never have been able to work for a decade ago. But compared with the size of the global labour market, it may still be early.

The interesting number is not only how many people work remotely today — it is how many roles could plausibly become remote or hybrid next.

The chart above starts with roughly 3.3 billion people employed worldwide. Around 300 million jobs are already remote or hybrid, while an additional pool of roughly 250 million roles could potentially move in that direction as technology, workflows and company culture continue to change.

Skills are becoming more portable

This matters because more work can increasingly be matched to expertise rather than location. AI training and evaluation are a good example: companies need lawyers, engineers, designers, editors, researchers, finance professionals and many other specialists to help improve AI systems.

For workers, that creates access to projects outside their local market. For companies, it expands the talent pool from one city or country to the world.
