Process Engineering Expert - Visual Reasoning Benchmark

Mercor is building the Industrial Technical Visual Reasoning Benchmark, an evaluation dataset that tests how well AI models reason over authentic engineering visuals. We are hiring Process Engineering experts (Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Energy) to author benchmark problems in your field. For each problem you will source a genuine professional artifact (PFDs, P&IDs, control-loop diagrams, plant layouts), write a problem that cannot be solved from the text alone, determine a concise and unambiguous final answer, and write a step-by-step worked solution at a professional level. You will tag each problem with its domain, artifact type, skill tested, and difficulty. Every problem is independently reviewed by another domain expert before it ships. This is a part-time, remote, hourly engagement for practicing professionals with hands-on experience reading real process engineering artifacts. Simplified textbook figures and questions answerable by simple lookup are out of scope; the work rewards genuine structural, spatial, and multi-step reasoning.
