micro1 is engaging Scientific Glassblower (Custom Laboratory Glass Shop) contributors to support a customer's advanced laboratory project. 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 opportunity centers on interpreting customer sketches and turning them into precise, manufacturable laboratory glassware, drawing upon your deep understanding of borosilicate and quartz fabrication. Assignments involve critically evaluating designs for feasibility, durability, and optimal manufacturing processes, as well as selecting appropriate seals and annealing schedules. Effective written and verbal communication are essential for providing clear, actionable feedback on design choices and sharing your professional insights.
Scope of Work
- Review and analyze customer sketches to determine manufacturability, with attention to wall thickness, stress points, and overall design integrity.
- Construct technical guidance for lathe and bench operations in borosilicate and quartz, emphasizing custom apparatus fabrication.
- Advise on best practices for glass-to-metal or graded seal formation, including selection of joint types and materials compatibility.
- Recommend and document appropriate annealing schedules, ensuring stress reduction and structural reliability in finished glassware.
- Inspect proposed designs for potential challenges, providing suggestions to improve manufacturability or performance.
