Imagery Analyst — Drone & Maritime
Remote, U.S.-based
About the role
micro1 is engaging imagery annotators for a Navy project working with drone and maritime sensor imagery. This role requires an active DoD Common Access Card — if you don’t have one, this project isn’t a fit, but we run other annotation projects without that requirement.
The work is precise and repetitive: you review object labels that a machine generated, fix the ones that are wrong, and add the ones it missed. No AI experience required. What matters is a careful eye and the discipline to stay accurate across long sessions.
Scope of Work
- Review machine-generated bounding boxes on still imagery and correct the ones that are off.
- Find and label objects the model missed.
- Apply the labeling guidelines consistently across every image.
- Work within a secure Navy environment using the provided tools.
- Maintain steady throughput — you’re paid per submitted image.
- Flag ambiguous cases to the team instead of guessing.
- Move into video frame annotation as the project expands.
What you’ll bring
- U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Common Access Card (CAC).
- Strong attention to detail and the patience for repetitive, accuracy-critical work.
- Experience with data labeling or bounding box annotation is a plus, but not required.
- Familiarity with aerial, maritime, satellite, or thermal imagery is a plus.
- Comfortable learning new labeling software.
- Clear written and verbal communication.
