The work
You will prepare drone and maritime sensor imagery for AI and machine-learning systems in a secure Navy environment. The work starts with still images and may expand to video-frame annotation as the project develops.
- Review and refine machine-generated bounding boxes.
- Identify and annotate objects missed by AI models.
- Apply labeling guidelines consistently across completed images.
- Deliver accurate annotated imagery in a secure environment.
- Maintain steady, reliable throughput during repetitive, accuracy-critical work.
- Record ambiguous cases and communicate questions about labeling guidelines.
- Adapt to video-frame annotation if the project expands.
What it pays and takes
This is a remote, part-time contractor role for contributors based in the United States. Prior AI experience is not required, but imagery knowledge and careful, consistent work are important.
- $30 to $60 per hour.
- Remote work open to candidates in the United States.
- Part-time contractor arrangement.
- Fluent in English, with clear written and verbal communication.
- Able to obtain a DoD Common Access Card or participate in the sponsorship process.
- Familiarity with aerial, maritime, or sensor-based imagery, including daylight or thermal formats.
- Strong attention to detail and consistency.
- Experience with data labeling, bounding-box annotation, or related data preparation is useful.
- Comfort using dedicated labeling applications and learning new tools.
- Experience with high-volume quality-controlled annotation, robotics, autonomous systems, or defense projects is helpful.
