Role Title: Combat Arms & Targeting SME
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging Combat Arms & Targeting subject-matter experts to support a cutting-edge project for a defense-focused customer. 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
• Map authentic military-activity scenarios to an approved taxonomy, clearly delineating between conceptual explanation, lawful policy/readiness support, evidence curation, and the controlled boundary with operational decision support, destructive execution, autonomous weapons, and unlawful planning.
• Identify and propose nuanced or non-obvious boundary cases that might be misclassified by less-experienced reviewers, ensuring nuanced judgment is captured.
• Evaluate and grade AI-generated responses for source handling, proper expression of uncertainty (such as conflicting pattern-of-life intelligence), reasoning quality, stated limitations, and operational utility.
• Flag instances where AI models incorrectly refuse to engage with valid conceptual or policy questions, supporting the ongoing refinement of model parameters.
• Document edge cases, gray areas, and points of disagreement, maintaining a defensible and transparent answer key for model training and review processes.
• Support continuous refinement of project guidelines by sharing insights from operational, targeting, and fires expertise.
Preferred Qualifications
• Extensive hands-on experience in joint or service-specific fires, targeting, or weapons employment decision-making (e.g., combat pilot, battle manager, JTAC, field or air-defense artillery officer, naval strike officer, carrier air-wing targeteer, or Aegis-qualified TAO/IAMD WTI).
• Advanced tactical training, such as TOPGUN, USAF Weapons School, J
