About this role
From the micro1 listing
Role Title: Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineers to contribute to a customer's project focused on advanced inspection and measurement solutions. 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. This opportunity involves evaluating and producing first-article inspection deliverables using 3D scanning and advanced metrology software, ensuring accuracy in scan-to-CAD comparisons, datum setups, and profile and position callouts. Your insight will help determine whether deviations arise from true part discrepancies or fixturing and alignment artefacts, supporting critical sign-off decisions on FAI reports. Scope of Work
- Review and validate first-article inspection (FAI) reports derived from 3D scan data.
- Conduct detailed scan-to-CAD comparisons, analyzing measurement deviations and their sources.
- Set up, interpret, and document datum structures, profiles, and position callouts as per industry standards.
- Utilize CMM measurement techniques and perform uncertainty analysis for dimensional integrity.
- Differentiate between actual part deviations and artefacts caused by fixturing or alignment issues.
- Deliver clear, comprehensive written and verbal feedback to support decision-making on FAI sign-off.
- Contribute nuanced, high-quality metrology input to inform and enhance AI system development. Preferred Qualifications
- Expertise in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and FAI processes within manufacturing or quality environments.
- Proficiency with 3D scanning devices and inspection software (e.g., PolyWorks, GOM Inspect, or similar).
- Strong background in CMM measurement techniques and uncertainty analysis.
- Proven ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications.
- Experience producing or approving FAI reports backed by practical metrology knowledge.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a keen attention to explanatory detail.
- Analytical mindset for discerning true quality issues versus artefacts introduced by measurement setup.
Requirements
- GD&T and first-article inspection
- 3D scanning and inspection software
- CMM measurement and uncertainty analysis
- Dimensional Metrology expertise

Common questions
Does micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes. Time-tracking tools take screenshots now and then to confirm your hours. Check the project's requirements before you accept it.
What does the micro1 application process look like?
You start with a video interview with Zara, micro1's AI interviewer. Treat it like a video call: good light, clear sound and spoken answers to technical questions. A person reviews the recording, and some roles add a short skills test.
Is research-level AI training steady work?
Usually not. Work comes in projects, such as training a model on quantum mechanics, that can last a few weeks. Plan for it like a short fellowship.
Is research-level AI training the same as data labeling?
It's closer to academic research. You write or check proofs, solve advanced problems and test the logic behind a model's step-by-step reasoning in your field.
What does STEM work look like for a Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer?
You check AI answers to STEM questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on STEM experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
GD&T and first-article inspection, 3D scanning and inspection software, CMM measurement and uncertainty analysis, and Dimensional Metrology expertise are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening to test for them.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's how many people micro1 still wants to hire for this role: 4 when we last checked. A high number means more places to fill. The screening stays the same.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $40-70/hr, an hourly rate. Where you land in the range depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change after we check the listing, so confirm the rate on the platform's application page.
