About the role
Role Title: Principal Engineer / Professor - Technical Expert
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.
•
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.
•
How the selection process works
•
Apply and complete the screening questions
•
Complete the AI interview for this role
