Materials Scientist / Engineer

Role Title: Materials Scientist / Engineer Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Materials Scientists / Engineers to contribute their technical expertise to a customer’s advanced materials 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 Analyze and interpret scientific data from experimental results, technical datasets, and research publications in materials science and engineering. Conduct comprehensive technical literature reviews to identify key advances, methodologies, and challenges in materials characterization and related fields. Annotate and structure technical datasets with precise, detailed commentary and context to support AI model training. Develop realistic scenarios and case studies that represent practical applications and challenges within materials engineering, metallurgy, or related sectors. Provide clear, well-organized written and verbal explanations of materials phenomena, properties, and scientific reasoning. Review and assure the quality, consistency, and accuracy of scientific deliverables submitted for project milestones. Collaborate remotely with other scientific contributors, leveraging digital tools and documentation practices. Preferred Qualifications MS or PhD in Materials Science & Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline with a materials specialization. Demonstrated expertise in materials characterization techniques (e.g., microscopy, spectroscopy, mechanical testing). Strong analytical skills and experience interpreting complex scientific data. Substantial experience conducting technical literature reviews and summarizing key findings. Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly, both in writing and verbally
