micro1 is engaging Senior Advanced NDT and Imaging Specialists to participate in a customer's advanced inspection and data interpretation 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.

Review and interpret diverse NDT data sets, including industrial CT volumes, X-ray images, ultrasonic scans, shearography data, and fiber optic inspection records.
Provide detailed written assessments and dispositions for inspection records, explaining findings and the rationale behind each decision.
Deliver feedback on imaging quality, detection limits, and potential false positives or negatives in complex inspection scenarios.
Apply standards knowledge (ASNT, NAS 410, EN 4179) to ensure evaluations align with industry best practices and regulatory compliance.
Document expert recommendations and insights to support annotation, labeling, and model development tasks.
Collaborate asynchronously through clear written and verbal communications to refine project deliverables and address technical queries.

Preferred Qualifications

7+ years of advanced experience in NDT, with Level II or Level III certifications in industrial CT, X-ray, ultrasonic, shearography, or fiber optic inspection.
Proven track record interpreting real-world inspection data in industries such as aerospace, nuclear, automotive, battery, composites, or tire manufacturing.
ASNT, NAS 410, or EN 4179 certification (required).
Expertise in specialist imaging modalities, including EPRI-qualified nuclear UT analysis, composite and battery inspection, or tire NDT.
Strong written and verbal communication skills for documenting findings and collaborating remotely.
Attention to detail and a methodical approach to technical evaluations and reporting.
Familiarity with digital platforms or remote collaboration tools a plus.
