Drone and Maritime Imagery Analyst, AI/ML Training Data

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.

About AI training work

AI training work is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors label images, review model outputs, and prepare examples so AI systems can learn to recognize and interpret information more accurately.
