Overview

micro1 seeks computational engineers with paid AI-training or model-evaluation experience to improve advanced AI systems. You will design challenging technical tasks, assess model-generated code and analyses, and set objective standards for correct solutions. The work spans specializations such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, electrical and computer engineering, robotics and controls, and more. This is a fully remote contractor role with flexible hours, requiring at least 15 hours per week.

What You'll Do6

  • Design realistic computational engineering problems that test the limits of advanced AI models.
  • Write clear task instructions, build reproducible environments, and provide reference solutions and evaluation criteria.
  • Review model-produced code, calculations, simulations, designs, and technical deliverables for accuracy.
  • Identify where models fail and define what a correct answer looks like.
  • Validate technical results to ensure they are reproducible and well-documented.
  • Apply your engineering specialization to create tasks that reflect real-world complexity.

Requirements6

  • Paid experience training, evaluating, benchmarking, or improving AI systems on engineering or technical tasks.
  • Deep knowledge in at least one engineering field such as mechanical, aerospace, electrical, chemical, civil, manufacturing, robotics, energy systems, or biomedical engineering.
  • Strong programming or scripting skills, with Python preferred.
  • Hands-on use of computational methods for analysis, simulation, modeling, optimization, testing, automation, or data processing.
  • Track record of producing or validating technical results that are clear and reproducible.
  • Ability to provide public evidence of skill, such as production designs, validated simulations, diagnosed failures, patents, publications, open-source contributions, or reproducible notebooks.

Preferred Qualifications6

  • Experience creating AI-training tasks, reference solutions, rubrics, graders, or benchmark problems.
  • Experience reviewing other AI trainers' technical submissions.
  • A master's degree, PhD, or substantial professional experience in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Familiarity with command-line tools, scripting interfaces, configuration files, solver APIs, or programmatic engineering software.
  • Experience validating computational results against calculations, simulations, measurements, or physical tests.
  • Prior work with long-horizon or agentic AI evaluations.

Who Should Apply

Computational engineers with paid AI-training or model-evaluation experience who can design rigorous technical tasks and assess model outputs. You should have deep expertise in one engineering specialization, strong Python skills, and a portfolio of reproducible technical work.

Salary Insight

Pay is $60 to $120 per hour equivalent, based on accepted tasks. Compensation is output-based, and task availability may vary.
