Remote AI training and data labeling jobs

Rebuild real-world objects and instruments as 3D simulation assets in Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo or similar, and tune their physics until they behave like the originals. Remote contract at $60–150/hour with 5 openings; no AI experience needed, but hands-on simulator experience is.

Design and annotate expert-level multi-part assemblies in parametric CAD, write down the reasoning behind architecture, mating and tolerance choices, and critique sample designs so an AI learns how experienced designers think. A recognised CAD credential can stand in for the experience bar. 10 openings, $40–90/hour.

Pull apart multi-part CAD assemblies, write hard design-judgment questions with exact answers taken from the models, and find where AI reasoning about mechanisms and tolerances breaks. Five years of assembly design asked for. 20 openings, about 15 hours a week, $40–90/hour.

Work through real construction workflows in Procore (RFIs, submittals, drawings, inspections) and document each step so AI systems learn how the platform is actually used on a job. 40 openings, remote contractor, $90–175/hour.

Review video of robotic arms doing industrial tasks and grade each session: tag, classify and explain mechanical or control problems and why the machine failed. For a customer's robotics AI project. 250 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour, open in the Americas, Europe, the UK and Oceania.

Filmmakers and cinematographers review footage of robotic arms doing tasks and tag completions, errors and subtle details against grading guidelines, for an AI training customer. 10,000 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour. No AI background needed; prior labelling work is highly preferred.

Use a VFX or animation eye for motion, occlusion and tracking to annotate video of robotic arms: label movement, object interactions, task outcomes and visual anomalies. Not asset creation or rendering. 250 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour, no AI experience needed.

Photographers review footage of robotic arms doing tasks, tag and grade each session against the project's guidelines, and judge image clarity and composition for AI training. Open across Northern America, Latin America, Europe, the UK and Oceania. High demand, 250 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour.

Watch videos of robotic arms performing tasks, mark where each action starts and ends, and label failures such as missed grasps, dropped objects or poor paths, explaining what went wrong. Needs a robotics or related engineering background. High demand, 250 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour.

Senior quality inspectors disposition first article inspections, cosmetic defects and line inspection data so AI models learn how real accept/reject calls are made across aerospace, defense and marine work. Ten openings, contractor, $60–100/hour, remote.

Metallurgists and certified welding inspectors make accept/reject calls on micrographs, weld macros, coatings and LPBF additive builds against AMS, ASTM, AWS and NACE standards, documenting the reasoning to train AI. 20 openings, $80–130/hour, remote, US-based preferred.

Certified NDT Level II/III inspectors interpret RT, UT/PAUT, MT and PT data and make code-based accept/reject calls on welds and components, documenting their reasoning to train AI. 30 openings, $70–110/hour, remote, US-based preferred.

Master machinists, superintendents, mine planners and fire officers review technical drawings and field plans (GD&T, CNC setups, construction sheets, mine and fire plans) and explain them so AI models learn to read them. 20 openings, $55–100/hour, remote, US-based preferred.

Mechanical engineers with 2+ years of experience label robots, tools, components and motion in video, and review other annotations for mechanical accuracy, for an AI and robotics training customer. 200 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour. CAD experience is a plus, not a requirement.

Annotate video captured by robotic systems (objects, movements, events), catch edge cases, and help the AI team refine annotation protocols and capture strategy. For people with hands-on computer vision and video annotation experience. 300 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour.

Watch videos of robotic systems and explain the electrical and electronic side of what happens: read the schematics, identify events and anomalies, and write annotations for ML specialists. 100 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour. A robotics, automation or mechatronics background is preferred.

Bring frame-by-frame editing judgment to AI training data: annotate video of robotic arms, marking when actions begin, change and end, and flagging continuity problems. Not an editing job. 250 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour, no AI experience needed.

Electronics quality engineers review Gerber and CAM data, apply IPC-610 and IPC-620 criteria, analyse SMT and AOI defects, screen for counterfeit parts under AS6081 and read C-SAM and X-ray images, all to train AI. 30 openings, $70–120/hour, remote, US-based preferred.

Work on the audio side of robotic-arm video for an AI training customer: edit and annotate tracks, clean up noise and distortion, and describe specific sounds, events and anomalies. Real-world, non-music audio experience is a strong plus. 250 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour.

Apply game-systems thinking to AI training data: annotate video of robotic arms as actions, states, interactions and success or failure conditions, and explain edge cases in writing. Not game development. 250 openings, remote contractor, $50–90/hour, no AI experience needed.

Hands-on structural, thermal, mechanical design and dynamics engineers review and write hard engineering problems about real hardware (loads, margins, heat transfer, vibration, tolerances) for an AI research initiative. 5+ years with 3 recent hands-on. Remote contract, $100–120/hour.

Hands-on systems, integration, reliability and manufacturing test engineers review and write hard engineering problems about real hardware (V&V, qualification, FMEA, root-cause analysis) for an AI research initiative. 5+ years with 3 recent hands-on.
