Role Title: Senior Metallurgist / Welding Inspector

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote (US based preferred)

micro1 is engaging expert Senior Metallurgists and Welding Inspectors to participate in a high-impact project for a customer in advanced manufacturing and materials engineering. 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.

Scope of Work

• Evaluate and interpret metallographic microstructures to determine material acceptability and conformance to standards.

• Conduct heat treatment process analysis and acceptance reviews in accordance with AMS 2750, ASTM E112, and related US specifications.

• Assess weld quality through macro etch evaluation and apply CWI acceptance criteria to real-world case studies.

• Perform coating inspection tasks aligned with NACE/AMPP and SSPC protocols, ensuring surface integrity and protection requirements are met.

• Review and disposition additive manufacturing (LPBF) defects based on detailed build and cross-sectional data.

• Provide clear, well-documented written and verbal feedback on accept/reject decisions, supporting data-driven insights for AI model training.

• Reference and apply NADCAP, AWS, ASTM, and AMS standards to a variety of metal samples, weldments, coatings, and AM builds.

Preferred Qualifications

• At least 8 years of hands-on experience making high-stakes accept/reject calls on micrographs, weld macros, fracture surfaces, coatings, or LPBF additive builds.

• Advanced knowledge of US and international standards including ASTM, AMS, AWS, NADCAP, NACE/AMPP, and SSPC.

• Current or prior AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credentials, or equivalent metallurgical certification.

• Proven experience in metallographic analysis, heat treatment evaluation, weld inspection, and industrial coating assessment.

• Familiarity with additive manufacturing processes, especially laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and associated defect mechanisms.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a keen eye for detail and the ability to explain technical reasoning clearly.

• Experience in remote or digital project collaboration, with strong self-direction and accountability for deliverables.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 0 points (from 62 before penalties). Reviewed 30 Sep 2026.
