Job description
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, Joint Firepower Course, or non-US allied equivalents.
- Demonstrated teaching, leadership, or evaluative experience (e.g., WTI, instructor, mission commander, or debrief facilitator).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to articulate operational judgment clearly and succinctly.
- Strong capability to assess targeting and fires utility, discriminate boundaries, and provide clear justifications.
- Law-of-armed-conflict or rules-of-engagement fluency from an operational perspective (not a legal role), considered a plus.
- Experience with AI model evaluation, wargaming, or red-teaming is valued but not required.
