Overview
Mercor needs professionals who already run MATLAB on a Windows PC and can open the application today. You bring your own license, computer, and display setup, because this project does not supply software, virtual machines, or hardware. The work centers on hands-on scientific computing, including numerical computing, simulation, and signal or image processing. Electrical, mechanical, control-systems, and aerospace engineers often fit the technical profile. Your screen must capture more than 2.5 megapixels, either from one high-resolution monitor or two displays joined into a single spanning image.
What You'll Do7
- Open MATLAB on your own Windows PC and keep it available for project sessions.
- Run numerical analysis, simulation, signal processing, or image processing tasks inside MATLAB.
- Capture screenshots at resolutions above 2.5 megapixels using your existing display setup.
- Use either a single qualifying high-resolution monitor or two monitors that produce one spanning image.
- Confirm your capture method meets the pixel requirement before each work block.
- Share captured screenshots with Mercor as needed.
- Maintain your own MATLAB license and Windows hardware without relying on provided resources.
Requirements7
- MATLAB installed and available on your own Windows PC.
- Ability to open MATLAB today, without a provided license, VM, or hardware.
- Hands-on experience with MATLAB in real engineering or scientific settings.
- Background in numerical computing, simulation, signal processing, or image processing.
- Screen capture capability above 2.5 megapixels.
- Access to a qualifying single monitor at one of the listed resolutions, or a dual-monitor setup where two 1920x1080 or larger displays are captured as one spanning image.
- A single 1080p display in a dual setup does not meet the requirement.
Who Should Apply
The right candidate already uses MATLAB on Windows for engineering work and can prove that setup today. You likely come from electrical, mechanical, control-systems, or aerospace engineering, and you treat numerical computing, simulation, or signal and image processing as part of your normal workflow. Your hardware must meet the screenshot rule: one high-resolution display or two 1920x1080+ monitors captured as a single spanning image. Candidates who need Mercor to provide MATLAB, a virtual machine, or a computer will not fit this engagement. A common reason applicants score low is a display setup that falls under 2.5 megapixels, especially a single 1080p screen used in a dual-monitor claim.
Salary Insight
Pay runs from $45.00 to $55.00 per hour for this remote, hourly engagement. That range fits experienced MATLAB users with a proven Windows workstation and a qualifying screen, since the project expects you to supply your own license and hardware. The top of the band usually goes to candidates whose engineering background and display setup match every requirement without exceptions.
