Technical Problem Author (Multi-Domain)
Science & Research · Advertised USD 60-110 an hour. · 47 openings
Technical Problem Author (Multi-Domain) is contract work for micro1, reviewing and correcting what AI models produce in science & research. 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 60 to USD 110 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 47 openings on this role.
Skills named: AutoCAD, Aerodynamics, Mechanical 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: Technical Problem Author (Multi-Domain) Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Technical Problem Authors (Multi-Domain) to contribute to a customer's project focused on advancing the capabilities of AI technologies in engineering. 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 Author and evaluate advanced technical problems in your area of expertise, such as Aerodynamics, Materials Science, CAD/Mechanical Design, Circuit Design, or Mechanical Engineering. Review and assess AI-generated technical responses for correctness, accuracy, and engineering relevance. Apply practical engineering judgment to real-world design, analysis, and failure scenarios, along with theoretical problem contexts. Analyze and troubleshoot complex, domain-specific issues, identifying ambiguities and proposing clarifications in technical statements and conditions. Provide structured feedback and clear written and verbal explanations to support and enhance AI learning and reasoning capabilities. Collaborate remotely with a network of technical experts and project participants to deliver high-quality domain input. Document insights and recommendations to inform continuous model improvement and refinement of problem statements. Preferred Qualifications Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a relevant engineering discipline, or substantial industry experience (8+ years for Aerodynamics/Circuit Design/Mechanical Engineering; 5+ years for CAD/Mechanical Design). At least 5 years of hands-on technical experience in your domain, such as mechanical design, aerodynamic analysis, materials selection, or circuit/system development. Demonstrated track record in technical problem authoring (e.g., olympiad problem committees, licensure exam item writing, academic qualifying-exam authorship, standards committee roles, or technical competition leadership). Flagship publications, patents, or industry awards recognized within your field, or evidence of technical rigor through competition results or committee service. Professional-level English proficiency and exceptional written and verbal communication skills are essential. Familiarity with industry-standard engineering tools (e.g., AutoCAD, CAD suites, CFD/FEA software, EDA tools, or lab equipment) relevant to your specialty. Experience working independently and remotely, contributing high-quality deliverables within required project timelines. 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.
