Job description

Job Description This is an excellent long-term, 100% remote contract opportunity for a highly detail-oriented professional. The Image Annotator (also known as a Defect Annotator) is responsible for reviewing and analyzing machine vision-generated images produced by Thor Mountain Systems and making accurate annotations to support the development of defect detection models. This role involves identifying, classifying, and documenting track-related defects and obstruction objects through a simple user interface.

Team members use data-driven processes to locate and review images containing defects of interest, which are maintained within a prioritized project framework supporting a multi-year initiative. The ideal candidate possesses moderate to advanced computer skills, exceptional attention to detail, and a strong sense of responsibility. Previous administrative experience is preferred.

Candidates must be able to work effectively in a team environment, communicate clearly both verbally and in writing, and maintain a professional work ethic while focusing on repetitive image review tasks for extended periods. Duties include reviewing large volumes of images, identifying and classifying obstruction objects and other track-related conditions, making accurate notations, and contributing to the ongoing improvement of machine vision detection systems. This position is expected to be a typical 40-hour work week, with occasional overtime opportunities as business needs require.

*Local candidates are preferred.*
