About this role, in micro1's words
micro1 is engaging Technical Problem Authors (Multi-Domain) to contribute to a customer's project focused on advancing the capabilities of AI technologies in engineering. 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'll do
Scope of Work
- Author and evaluate advanced technical problems in your area of expertise, such as Aerodynamics, Materials Science, CAD/Mechanical Design, Circuit Design, or Mechanical Engineering.
- Review and assess AI-generated technical responses for correctness, accuracy, and engineering relevance.
- Apply practical engineering judgment to real-world design, analysis, and failure scenarios, along with theoretical problem contexts.

- Provide structured feedback and clear written and verbal explanations to support and enhance AI learning and reasoning capabilities.
- Collaborate remotely with a network of technical experts and project participants to deliver high-quality domain input.
- Document insights and recommendations to inform continuous model improvement and refinement of problem statements.
Candidate background
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a relevant engineering discipline, or substantial industry experience (8+ years for Aerodynamics/Circuit Design/Mechanical Engineering; 5+ years for CAD/Mechanical Design).
- At least 5 years of hands-on technical experience in your domain, such as mechanical design, aerodynamic analysis, materials selection, or circuit/system development.
- Demonstrated track record in technical problem authoring (e.g., olympiad problem committees, licensure exam item writing, academic qualifying-exam authorship, standards committee roles, or technical competition leadership).
- Flagship publications, patents, or industry awards recognized within your field, or evidence of technical rigor through competition results or committee service.
- Professional-level English proficiency and exceptional written and verbal communication skills are essential.
- Familiarity with industry-standard engineering tools (e.g., AutoCAD, CAD suites, CFD/FEA software, EDA tools, or lab equipment) relevant to your specialty.
- Experience working independently and remotely, contributing high-quality deliverables within required project timelines.

- Before your first paid task
- An AI interview with micro1's recruiter Zara, then your profile, ID verification, a KarmaCheck background check and the Deel contract. Some pipelines add a quiz or test task. micro1.ai/experts, micro1.ai/ai-interview-guide, library.micro1.ai/getting-started/next-steps-after-certif..., library.micro1.ai/working/faqs, library.micro1.ai/working/what-to-expect
- How much work
- Certification makes you eligible but does not guarantee placement. micro1's FAQ puts the usual commitment at about 15 to 20 hours a week, depending on the client. micro1.ai/experts, library.micro1.ai/working/faqs

Alex's experience on micro1A personal account, not a promise about your project
Alexruns this site and has worked on micro1 himself. Written 31 Aug 2026.
- Every interview I took used an AI interviewer, and some included a timed business exercise of around 25 minutes.
- On later applications, interview reuse on micro1 was often partial, and I still answered questions about one to three additional skills.
- I entered a requested rate for the job. One listing showed about $180 an hour. I requested about $160 and received the rate I entered. Those amounts are approximate, and this describes my application, not proof that a lower request caused acceptance.
- Onboarding and setup came to about 2 hours, with clear materials. Of the three platforms I worked on, it was the easiest transition into work. That is an estimate from my projects, not a platform average.
- On my micro1 project, Hubstaff showed time and mouse or keyboard activity, not screenshots, app names or website history. That describes what I saw, not every possible setup.
- I was paid for hours logged, once every 14 days, and I have not experienced late or incorrect payments. That was my arrangement.
One person's applications, not a promise about yours.

Platforms sometimes change a rate after posting. Every listing here is re-read at least once a day and corrected when its source moves, so a difference you see on the platform is usually a change made since the last read. How freshness works.
