Mercor's hardware engineering listing requires designs the company owns, not customer IP, and lists single parts or parts catalogs and designs owned by the company's customers as not a fit; its first scoping questions are which CAD system holds roughly how many assemblies, and whether the company or its customers own the designs.

- Hardware Engineering Company: its records licensed through Mercor, on Mercor's own listing for this kind of company
- Mercor's listing for hardware engineering companies asks for engineering teams with native CAD vaults: complete multi-part assemblies in native CAD with their feature trees rather than exported meshes, circuit board designs, drawings and the test results that go with them, across several products or product generations, with automotive, aerospace, robotics and industrial equipment named as the priority. It names SolidWorks PDM, PTC Creo, Siemens NX, Autodesk Fusion, Onshape, Altium, KiCad and ANSYS among the tools.
- Offer CAD as native assemblies with their history, drawings and test results, from designs the company owns: that is what buyers name and what the free datasets lack
- Mercor, its listing "Hardware Engineering Company": "License CAD assemblies, circuit designs and test results from real products."
