Cartographer for AI Model Evaluation

Cartographers and photogrammetrists apply geospatial imaging, survey, and photogrammetric expertise to evaluate AI-generated maps and geospatial content, verify spatial accuracy, and provide clear, structured feedback that improves model outputs. No prior AI experience is required.

• Evaluate outputs from AI models that generate or interpret maps, aerial imagery, and geospatial data for accuracy, completeness, and real-world relevance.
• Develop and refine prompts and test cases that reflect real workplace tasks, terminology, and decision criteria in cartography and photogrammetry.
• Assess content related to your field, identify errors or inconsistencies, and deliver concise, actionable feedback that helps improve model performance.
• Use your professional judgement and domain knowledge to validate model-produced features, annotations, and metadata.

• Minimum of 4 years of professional experience in cartography, photogrammetry, or closely related geospatial work.
• Relevant hands-on experience may include, but is not limited to: compiling and analyzing data from aerial photographs, surveys, and satellite images to create and revise detailed maps and charts; using precision stereoplotting apparatus and computer graphics to delineate topographic and cultural features; employing drone technology for high-resolution data collection and maintaining or updating digital geospatial databases.
• Ability to work asynchronously in collaboration with AI research teams and to communicate feedback in a structured, professional manner.

• Remote, asynchronous work, performed independently from your location.
• Part-time, hourly, temporary project work. There is no minimum weekly commitment; most contributors average 5 to 20 hours per week.
• Placement into specific projects depends on project availability; opportunities are available year-round with new projects opening periodically.

• Paid hourly, Up to $75/hr (depending on the project).

• F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible to participate. Consult your Designated School Official to confirm whether participation meets your school''s requirements. If your school requires enrollment in a CPT course, this program may not qualify. STEM OPT is not supported.

• Create a candidate account and complete the required identity verification.
• Review available projects and complete onboarding for the projects that match your skills.
• Begin assigned project tasks, submit work or hours as required, and receive payment for completed project work.
• Refer to the program help resources or your school advisor for additional details on work authorization and onboarding steps.
