Role Title: CNC Machinist

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

We are engaging CNC Machinists to contribute expertise to a customer’s project focused on advanced part production and process optimization. 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 engagement centers on operating and setting up both hobbyist (e.g., Makera Carvera) and industrial (e.g., Haas VF-2) CNC machines, interpreting engineering documentation, and troubleshooting across a range of materials and geometries. Contributors will provide input on machining processes, best practices, and issue resolution, ensuring high standards of quality and consistency throughout the project.
