Imagery Analyst — AI/ML Training Data

Overview

micro1 is hiring Imagery Analysts to support an AI/ML training data project focused on drone and maritime sensor imagery. The work centers on improving the quality of annotations used to train next-generation AI systems. This opportunity is tied to a U.S. Navy project and requires U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Common Access Card (CAC).

The role is contractor-based and may be part-time or full-time. Compensation is based on each image submission, with steady throughput expected.

What You'll Do

• Review and correct machine-generated bounding boxes on still imagery from drone and maritime sensors.
• Identify and annotate objects that AI models missed.
• Apply labels consistently and follow the provided annotation guidelines.
• Complete annotated images within a secure Navy environment.
• Maintain reliable output volume across image submissions.
• Move into video-frame annotation as the project grows.
• Document ambiguous cases and raise guideline questions clearly.

Requirements

• U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Common Access Card (CAC), or willingness to pursue sponsorship for CAC access.
• Strong accuracy and consistency for repetitive, detail-sensitive work.
• Experience with data labeling, bounding box annotation, or similar data preparation tasks.
• Familiarity with aerial, maritime, or sensor-based imagery, including daylight and thermal formats.
• Comfort working in high-volume, quality-controlled annotation environments.
• Ability to use labeling software and learn new tools quickly.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for clarifying issues and requirements.

Preferred Background

• Experience in robotics or autonomous-system data labeling is a plus.
