About this opportunity
Overview
micro1 is engaging Mechanical Engineering Technicians to contribute to a customer project focused on developing advanced AI benchmarks. The work is remote, contractor-based, and designed for experts with real-world mechanical engineering domain knowledge. No prior AI experience is required.
Scope of Work
- Design authentic technician workflow tasks that reflect real engineering challenges, including test setup, instrumentation, data collection, and failure diagnosis.
- Source, synthesize, and build technical datasets from real lab or production scenarios, such as test logs, calibration records, sensor outputs, and failure reports.
- Define correct solution paths, including how to interpret test data and recommend next steps.
- Create rigorous grading rubrics with 35+ items to assess instrumentation logic, data interpretation, and failure analysis for both AI systems and domain experts.
- Document procedures, observations, and diagnostic findings with high precision and clarity.
- Ensure evaluation tasks reflect professional-level complexity and realism, rather than simplified textbook examples.
Preferred Qualifications
- At least 4 years of hands-on experience in lab, test, or production environments within mechanical engineering technology.
- Associate degree or recognized trade credential in mechanical engineering technology or a related field.
- Experience with instrumentation, sensors, data acquisition systems, and prototype testing workflows.
- Strong technical documentation skills for test procedures, outcomes, and failure modes.
- Ability to analyze complex datasets and diagnose equipment or process failures.
- Familiarity with technical documentation formats such as CSVs, spreadsheets, PDFs, and similar files.
- Comfort working independently on remote projects and meeting high technical standards.
Compensation
Compensation is output-based and paid per task that meets project specifications. Minimum submission requirements apply, and the amount of work may vary based on experience and workflow.
Availability
micro1 typically fills roles within 48 hours and is looking for experts who can begin onboarding and first tasks within 24–48 hours.
