Job Summary: 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.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end OpenSCAD projects, from requirements gathering to final model export for manufacturing or prototyping purposes. Structure and document OpenSCAD scripts, defining robust parameters and reusable modules for efficient parametric design. Utilize Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) techniques to build complex 3D models and perform 2D-to-3D extrusions. Iterate rapidly on parametric models, demonstrating logical script-driven decision-making and engineering reasoning throughout the process. Prepare and export files in STL, OFF, or other standard formats, ensuring compatibility with downstream manufacturing workflows. Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, providing detailed written and verbal explanations of your design process. Help shape AI learning by transparently revealing the professional thought process, trade-offs, and technical choices made during project execution.
Required Skills and Qualifications
Extensive hands-on experience with OpenSCAD, including completion of full projects from initial concept to final export. Strong knowledge of CAD fundamentals and CSG methodologies. Proficiency in AutoCAD or comparable CAD software tools. Proven ability to create, document, and optimize reusable OpenSCAD modules and parametric scripts. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a focus on clarity and detailed technical explanation. Demonstrated capability to work independently in a remote environment while supporting collaborative project goals. Meticulous attention to engineering decisions and the logical progression of design tasks.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience exporting and preparing models specifically for additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping. Background in teaching, mentoring, or contributing to OpenSCAD or CAD user communities. Comfort with documenting workflows for AI or machine learning applications.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the others?
Global Access. Micro1 is more open to international applicants (outside the US/UK) than DataAnnotation or Outlier.
What is the catch?
Privacy. Micro1 projects often require you to install time-tracking software that takes screenshots of your desktop while you work to ensure you are actually working. If you are uncomfortable with monitoring software, this might not be for you.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
What is the interview like?
You will likely be screened by "Zara", an AI recruiter. Treat this like a real video interview—speak clearly, ensure you have good lighting, and be ready to answer technical questions verbally, as the transcript is reviewed by human managers.
