What this role involves
micro1 is engaging Mechanical Engineering Technicians to contribute to a customer's project involving the development of advanced AI benchmarks. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
What you’d do
- Design and author authentic technician workflow tasks that reflect real-world challenges, including test setup, instrumentation, data collection, and failure diagnosis.
- Source, synthesize, and construct technical datasets (such as test logs, calibration records, sensor outputs, and failure reports) derived from actual lab or production scenarios.
- Define accurate solution pathways, including the interpretation of test data and informed next-step recommendations.
- Develop rigorous, 35+ item grading rubrics to evaluate technical skills in instrumentation logic, data interpretation, and failure analysis, usable by AI and domain experts alike.
- Document detailed technical procedures, observations, and diagnostic findings with high precision and clarity.
What they’re looking for
- Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience in lab, test, or production environments within mechanical engineering technology.
