About this Role
From the Micro1 listing
Role Title: Electrical Engineering Professor Role Type: Contractor. Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Electrical Engineering Professors to contribute expertise to a high-impact project advancing AI research and assessment technology. 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.
Scope of Work
- Design and author graduate-level single-option (multiple-choice) exam questions within your area of electrical engineering specialization, ensuring rigor and authenticity.
- Develop detailed explanations and precise grading rubrics for each question, consistent with academic standards and best practices in assessment.
- Review and validate the technical accuracy and pedagogical strength of AI-generated content related to electrical engineering concepts.
- Collaborate asynchronously with other subject matter experts to refine question quality, ensuring clarity, relevance, and academic rigor.
- Evaluate AI model outputs, providing nuanced feedback that reflects your understanding of where models meet or diverge from human reasoning.
- Clearly communicate complex technical concepts in written form, as for exam solutions or instructional content.
- Contribute to a continually evolving, high-quality question bank that reflects advanced engineering reasoning.
Preferred Qualifications
- PhD or advanced Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with demonstrated teaching experience at the university level (professor, adjunct, lecturer, or TA).
- Experience authoring or reviewing graduate-level assessments, exams, or coursework in electrical engineering.
- Deep subject matter knowledge in one or more of: Analog Circuits, Digital Circuits, RF, Power Electronics, with emphasis on Integrated Circuits (IC).
- Expertise in rubric design, assessment development, or educational content creation.
- Exceptional written communication skills, with a strong emphasis on clarity and academic rigor.
- Demonstrated capacity to work independently, meet project milestones, and deliver high-quality contributions remotely.
- Comfort with asynchronous collaboration on remote research or content development projects.
Compensation Structure

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply to Micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. Micro1 accepts applicants from most countries worldwide, unlike DataAnnotation or Outlier, both of which cap access to a handful of English-speaking countries. Most roles still require strong written and spoken English.
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
Is academic-niche AI training just data labeling?
No, it's closer to academic research. Expect to write or verify complex proofs, solve advanced equations, or check the logic behind a model's step-by-step reasoning. The goal is teaching AI systems to reason deeply within your specific field.
Do I need a PhD for academic-niche AI training roles?
For the top pay tiers, a PhD or current enrollment is usually expected. But the domain assessment is what actually decides it: if you can solve the problems, the degree becomes secondary.
Is academic-niche AI training a continuous job?
Usually not. Work runs in campaigns, like training a model specifically on quantum mechanics, that might last a few weeks. Treat it as a high-paying fellowship or grant rather than a permanent daily job.
What does STEM work look like for a Electrical Engineering Professor?
Tasks here are scoped to STEM, not generic labeling. As a Electrical Engineering Professor, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to STEM) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on STEM background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 50 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
How does per-task pay translate to an hourly rate?
It doesn't directly, that's the catch. Each task has a listed price and an estimated completion time, but your actual effective rate depends on how fast you work. If a task is estimated at 20 minutes and pays $8, that is $24/hr for a fast worker and $12/hr for a slow one. Track your actual time on the first few tasks before treating the listed rate as your real hourly income.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
