our partner is seeking current or former military Weapons Systems Operators to contribute to an AI development project focused on military operations, weapons employment, and tactical decision-making. You'll use your firsthand operational experience to evaluate AI-generated military scenarios, identify inaccuracies, and provide expert feedback to improve AI reasoning and reliability.

Scope of Work

  • Evaluate AI-generated scenarios involving air defense, missile systems, naval weapons, or tactical aviation.
  • Assess operational realism, weapons employment decisions, and mission procedures.
  • Review scenarios for accuracy, sound reasoning, and alignment with Rules of Engagement (ROE) and the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC).
  • Identify unrealistic assumptions, technical inaccuracies, or operational errors and provide clear written feedback.

Qualifications

  • Current or former military weapons systems operator with hands-on experience in air defense, missile operations, naval combat systems, or tactical aviation.
  • Experience with systems such as Patriot, THAAD, Aegis, NASAMS, or comparable military weapons platforms is highly desirable.
  • Strong understanding of weapons employment, tactical decision-making, and military operational procedures.
  • Ability to explain complex technical and military concepts clearly in writing.
  • Operational deployments, live-fire experience, or experience as a weapons instructor are a plus.

This is a 100% remote contract role, open to applicants worldwide in the countries the employer accepts.

What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $400–$800 and 20 hours about $800–$1,600 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Location
Open worldwide in the countries the employer accepts. Payments usually go out through services like PayPal or Wise, so check one of them works in your country.
Timing
This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for scientists & researchers
  • Show full derivations; partial reasoning is usually marked down.
  • Check units, assumptions and limiting cases in every AI solution.
  • Write hard original problems that break the model: that skill is in demand.
