  • Demonstrated attention to detail and consistency performing repetitive, accuracy-critical tasks.
  • Experience with data labeling, bounding box annotation, or similar data-preparation activities.
  • Familiarity with aerial, maritime, or sensor-based imagery, especially in daylight and thermal formats.
  • Track record in high-volume, quality-controlled annotation environments (robotics or autonomous system data-labeling experience is a plus).
  • Comfort using dedicated software tools for labeling tasks, with a willingness to learn new applications.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for reporting and clarifying labeling requirements.
