$45–55/hr · Mercor · Hourly, 40 hours a week

Demonstrate hands-on MATLAB expertise by performing numerical computing tasks and providing detailed feedback on application functionality.

What you would do

  • Execute numerical simulation and signal processing workflows directly in MATLAB
  • Capture high-resolution evidence of application functionality and problem-solving
  • Provide expert commentary on application behavior and computational accuracy

Who they want

  • Hands-on MATLAB experience with numerical computing and engineering applications
  • Windows PC with MATLAB already installed and functional
  • Display setup meeting high-resolution screenshot requirements (2.5+ megapixels)

What the interview asks about

  1. 1.Solving real numerical computing problems

    Your ability to solve an actual MATLAB problem demonstrates functional expertise beyond menu navigation.

    For example: “Given a signal processing task involving FFT analysis of a noisy sensor signal, walk through your approach in MATLAB step-by-step.”

  2. 2.Explaining MATLAB workflow decisions

    Different approaches yield the same result; understanding why you chose a particular algorithm or function shows deep MATLAB knowledge.

    For example: “For filtering a time series with seasonal patterns, why would you use certain functions or toolboxes rather than alternative approaches?”

  3. 3.Troubleshooting common numerical issues

    Knowing how to handle NaN values, scaling problems, or convergence failures separates experienced practitioners from users following templates.

    For example: “Describe an instance where MATLAB gave you unexpected numerical results and how you diagnosed whether the issue was mathematical or computational.”

A task you may get

Complete a guided numerical simulation task in MATLAB with 4K screenshot evidence, then explain your approach and results.

How to prepare

  • Verify your MATLAB installation is current and that you have required toolboxes for numerical computing
  • Test your display resolution meets requirements and practice capturing clear, legible MATLAB screenshots
  • Prepare one real signal processing or numerical problem you have solved in MATLAB and be ready to reproduce it
