Overview

micro1 seeks an Imagery Analyst to support a U.S. Navy project that uses drone and maritime sensor imagery to train AI/ML systems. You’ll review image annotations, add missing objects, and deliver labeled work inside a secure Navy environment. The contract can be part-time or full-time, and no prior AI experience is needed. The project requires U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Common Access Card (CAC); other micro1 annotation projects may not have these eligibility conditions.

What You'll Do7

  • Check and correct machine-generated bounding boxes on still images from drone and maritime sensors.
  • Find objects that the AI models missed and annotate them.
  • Apply labels consistently and follow the supplied guidelines.
  • Submit completed images within the secure Navy environment.
  • Maintain a steady flow of completed images. Compensation is based on each image submission.
  • Move to annotating video frames as the project expands.
  • Record unclear cases and questions about guidelines, then communicate them in writing or verbally.

Requirements3

  • U.S. citizenship.
  • An active DoD Common Access Card (CAC).
  • Ability to meet the project's secure Navy environment requirements.

Preferred Qualifications6

  • Careful, consistent work on repetitive tasks where accuracy matters.
  • Experience with data labeling, bounding box annotation, or related data preparation.
  • Familiarity with aerial, maritime, or sensor imagery, including daylight or thermal formats.
  • Experience in high-volume, quality-controlled annotation work.
  • Comfort with labeling software and willingness to learn new applications.
  • Strong written and verbal communication for reporting issues and clarifying labeling guidelines.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with strong attention to detail and an interest in drone or maritime imagery may suit this work, even without prior AI experience. Applicants must be U.S. citizens with an active DoD CAC to work on this Navy project; those who do not meet these conditions can ask micro1 about other annotation projects.

Salary Insight

The listed rate is $35-$80 per hour. The project description says compensation is based on each image submission, so confirm how the hourly range applies during hiring.
