Location: Remote


micro1 is engaging Senior Field Service Technicians to contribute expertise on a customer’s technical 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

  1. Review and interpret complex electrical schematics, hydraulic, and pneumatic diagrams to assess equipment function and fault pathways.
  2. Diagnose faults and performance issues in industrial, HVAC, elevator, heavy equipment, marine, rail, utility, or telecom systems using technical documentation.
  3. Analyze PLC logic and industrial controls to identify root causes of operational issues and recommend evidence-based solutions.
  4. Document clear, detailed written reports of troubleshooting approaches, findings, and corrective actions for use in AI model training.
  5. Evaluate compliance with relevant US codes (NFPA 70/79, ASME A17.1, OSHA) and highlight code-specific requirements based on real project scenarios.
  6. Communicate technical concepts and diagnostic reasoning effectively in written and verbal form for diverse audiences.
  7. Provide expert commentary on practical maintenance, service, and repair strategies based on extensive field experience.


Preferred Qualifications

  1. 8+ years of hands-on troubleshooting experience in industrial, HVAC, elevator, hydraulic, heavy vehicle, marine, rail, utility, or telecom equipment.
  2. Advanced proficiency reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, hydraulic and pneumatic layouts.
  3. Deep familiarity with PLC programming, industrial controls, and fault-finding processes.
  4. Strong working knowledge of US safety and operational codes (NFPA 70/79, ASME A17.1, OSHA).

How big is the remote / hybrid opportunity?

Remote work is already huge — but the bigger story may be the hundreds of millions of jobs that could still move beyond geography.

Global remote and hybrid work opportunity infographic

Remote work already connects millions of people with companies they would never have been able to work for a decade ago. But compared with the size of the global labour market, it may still be early.

The interesting number is not only how many people work remotely today — it is how many roles could plausibly become remote or hybrid next.

The chart above starts with roughly 3.3 billion people employed worldwide. Around 300 million jobs are already remote or hybrid, while an additional pool of roughly 250 million roles could potentially move in that direction as technology, workflows and company culture continue to change.

Skills are becoming more portable

This matters because more work can increasingly be matched to expertise rather than location. AI training and evaluation are a good example: companies need lawyers, engineers, designers, editors, researchers, finance professionals and many other specialists to help improve AI systems.

For workers, that creates access to projects outside their local market. For companies, it expands the talent pool from one city or country to the world.
