AI training contract
Semiconductor Devices & Microelectronics Expert
Engineering · Advertised USD 66-130 an hour. · 25 openings
Semiconductor Devices & Microelectronics Expert is contract work for micro1, reviewing and correcting what AI models produce in engineering. The output of the job is expert judgement written down: a model gives an answer, someone who knows the subject decides whether it is right and explains why.
What it requires. This role is gated on phd or academic credential. Applications without it are not considered, and the requirement is stated here because the original advert usually carries it well below the rate.
What it pays. micro1 advertises USD 66 to USD 130 an hour. It also states that pay is output based, paid per task that meets the project specifications, so the hourly figure is an advertised equivalent and not a guaranteed wage.
Where. The listing says this role is remote and names no country. micro1 says it hires talent from around the world, except people who reside in Afghanistan, Belarus, China, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Macao, Myanmar, North Korea, Russian Federation, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Ukraine, and Yemen. So this page lists every other country as eligible, on the strength of that rule and not of anything this listing says. Requirements can still differ by role, so check the application page on micro1 before you apply.
micro1 lists 25 openings on this role.
Skills named: semiconductors, engineering.
Applications are made on micro1, not here. WFA Digital is independent of micro1 and may receive a referral fee if you are hired, at no cost to you.

Role Title: Semiconductor Devices & Microelectronics Expert Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Semiconductor Devices & Microelectronics Experts to contribute to a dynamic customer project focused on advancing semiconductor technologies and microelectronics solutions. 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 Analyze and provide insights on semiconductor device physics, operational principles, and recent advances. Evaluate and discuss microfabrication techniques, including process integration and yield optimization. Contribute technical assessments on device scaling, performance modeling, and reliability methodologies. Review and critique materials used in electronic and semiconducting device fabrication. Create detailed written explanations and verbal clarifications of complex engineering concepts for AI model training purposes. Deliver structured feedback on project data to ensure technical accuracy and completeness. Collaborate asynchronously with project coordinators and other domain experts within the platform. Preferred Qualifications Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related discipline. Extensive experience in semiconductor device design, fabrication processes, and microelectronics engineering. Proven understanding of semiconductor physics, device modeling, and reliability testing. Hands-on exposure to modern microfabrication and process integration techniques. Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with the ability to break down complex topics. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a focus on articulating technical concepts clearly. Prior experience contributing to technical publications, patents, or collaborative R&D projects is a plus. Compensation Structure Compensation is output-based; experts are paid per task that meets the project specifications. The time required to complete work may vary depending on the expert’s experience and workflow. Minimum submission requirements apply. Experts must submit a minimum of tasks per week. Start Timeline & Availability We typically fill roles within 48 hours and are looking for experts ready to jump in right away. If selected, we expect you to start your first tasks within 24–48 hours of completing onboarding.
