Role Title: Electronics Engineer Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Electronics Engineers to contribute their expertise to a customer's innovative project. 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
- Review and annotate robotic system videos, providing accurate and insightful feedback based on electrical and electronic system observations.
- Analyze and interpret complex electrical schematics and system diagrams as they pertain to robotic systems.
- Identify, document, and explain electrical or electronic events, anomalies, or system functions visible in video materials.
- Draft clear, concise written annotations and explanatory notes for machine learning specialists and fellow engineering experts.
- Contribute to the refinement of guidelines for video annotation, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
- Collaborate asynchronously with technical teams to clarify requirements and share insights on electronic systems in robotics. Preferred Qualifications
- Degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Substantial expertise in electrical system design, analysis, and troubleshooting.
- Proven experience with robotics, automation systems, or mechatronic systems.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly and effectively.
- Proficiency interpreting electrical schematics and documenting technical observations.
- Experience annotating or analyzing technical multimedia (video, images) is a plus.
- Strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving in a remote, collaborative environment.
Requirements
- Electronics Engineering
- electrical system design
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
How long hiring takes

Common questions
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.
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.
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 decides it: if you can solve the problems, the degree becomes secondary.
What does STEM work look like for an Electronics Engineer?
Tasks here are scoped to STEM, not generic labeling. As an Electronics Engineer, 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 specific skills does this listing call for?
Electronics Engineering, electrical system design, Coding, and Expert are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
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, 100 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 much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $50–$90/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
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.
Do I need a Master's to qualify?
This role lists a master's degree as a requirement. In practice, the domain assessment is the real gate. If you can pass it, the degree is usually secondary. However, some platforms verify credentials formally, so list your actual qualifications accurately on your profile.
