Full Job Description
AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected. Role Summary AST SpaceMobile is hiring part-time Visual Data Labeling Technician I in Midland, TX to label imagery of spacecraft components, sub-assemblies, and factory-floor assembly steps used to train AST’s computer-vision and robotics AI models. Working on-site in the AI Lab, you will use AST’s in-house labeling software to draw bounding boxes, polygons, and segmentation masks; classify components and defects; and follow detailed labeling guidelines defined by AST’s data scientists and manufacturing quality engineers. This is a high-precision, security-controlled role: the lab is a no-personal-electronics environment, and your accuracy and consistency directly determine the quality of the AI models AST relies on for visual inspection and robotic operation. The role is well suited to detail-oriented people who enjoy focused screen work, take pride in careful documentation, and want to contribute to the next generation of space-based connectivity. Key Responsibilities Label images and short video clips of spacecraft components, sub-assemblies, and assembly steps using AST’s in-house computer-vision labeling software Apply bounding boxes, polygons, segmentation masks, keypoints, and classification tags according to AST’s labeling guidelines and ontology Maintain a high level of accuracy and consistency across labeling tasks, meeting throughput and quality targets set by the AI Lab Manager Flag ambiguous, defective, or unusual images for review by quality inspectors, engineers, or data scientists Participate in
