What the work involves
You'll produce and critique technical documentation the way you would for a real project, except the audience is a model rather than a general contractor. A typical task might be drafting a coordinated floor plan and elevation set from a written program, annotating a multi-sheet electrical schematic to industry convention, writing GD&T callouts for a fabricated assembly, or reviewing an AI-generated drawing and explaining precisely where it violates convention — wrong line weight hierarchy, a missing datum reference, a section cut that doesn't correspond to the plan, a detail callout with no matching detail.
Much of the value is in the written reasoning, not just the drawing. When you reject an output, you're expected to name the standard, the sheet, and the consequence: what would get flagged in permit review, what would come back as an RFI, what would actually get built wrong. Vague feedback like "looks off" isn't usable.
What the screening looks for
- Depth that survives follow-up questions — the AI screen probes specifics (sheet numbering conventions, dimensioning practice, tolerance stack-up logic) rather than accepting general familiarity
- Verifiable recent hands-on drafting and documentation experience, not managerial oversight of it
- Range across the listed scope; the posting spans architectural documentation and electronics/PCB work, and honest scoping of where your strength actually lies is better than overclaiming
- Clear written English, since most deliverables include prose justification
Logistics
Contractor engagement, fully remote, asynchronous. Tasks come in batches with milestone deadlines rather than fixed shifts; contributors commonly commit 10–20 hours per week, though volume fluctuates with customer demand. Pay of $40–50/hr reflects observed rates on this listing and is not guaranteed — micro1 typically finalizes rate after the screen and a calibration exercise. No prior AI or machine learning experience is required.
