Job description
Role Title: Principal Engineer / Professor — Technical Expert
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
Opportunity Snapshot
Pay: $80- $185/hour
Commitment: Flexible — fits alongside your current role
Location: Fully remote
You’ll need: Master’s or PhD in an engineering or physical science field, plus principal-level industry experience or a faculty appointment
Your tasks: Build challenging technical problems from your own domain and define what makes an answer correct
micro1 is engaging principal-level engineers, scientists, and faculty to design the technical problems that measure what AI systems can actually do. Your domain expertise is what matters here — no prior AI experience required.
We’re building this across four areas: aerospace, semiconductors, manufacturing and industrial engineering, and materials science. If your work sits in one of those — or across two of them — this is for you.
The work draws on what you already know: the problems where the textbook answer isn’t enough, where the right approach depends on reading the constraints correctly, where a plausible-looking solution is quietly wrong.
What you’ll do
-
Design difficult technical problems from your own area, with realistic constraints and supporting data.
-
Provide the correct solution and walk through the reasoning that gets there.
-
Define objective criteria for correctness, so another expert reviewing the work would reach the same verdict.
-
Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method.
-
Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.
-
What we’re looking for
-
Master’s or PhD in engineering, physics, materials, or a closely related field.
-
Principal, staff, or fellow-level experience at a major engineering organization, a national lab, or a faculty appointment at a leading university.
-
Deep technical depth in at least one area, with hands-on ownership of the work.
-
Able to explain why an answer is correct clearly enough that another expert could verify it.
-
Publications, patents, or a record of technical leadership is a strong plus.
-
