3D Animator / Character Animator

Role Title: 3D Animator / Character Animator

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging 3D Animator / Character Animators to contribute specialized knowledge on a customer’s advanced annotation 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.

Scope of Work

• Annotate hand and finger landmarks/keypoints using MediaPipe-style hand topology, ensuring accuracy and adherence to strict guidelines.

Identify and mark anatomical joints, including the wrist, MCP (Metacarpophalangeal), PIP (Proximal Interphalangeal), DIP (Distal Interphalangeal), fingertips, and thumb-specific joints (CMC, MCP, IP, thumb tip).

• Precisely place landmarks following defined annotation protocols and specified tolerance thresholds.
• Infer and accurately annotate partially occluded or visually challenging joints and landmarks, reasoning through complex hand positions and object interactions.
• Interpret a wide range of hand poses, orientations, and perspectives to ensure consistent and high-quality annotations across varied image and video data.
• Review visual feedback, identify deviations from requirements, and make targeted corrections to maintain annotation quality at scale.
