Compensation: Commensurate with experience

At Human Signal, we develop an AI platform that relies on high‑quality data. As an Architecture Expert, you will annotate architectural floor plans to train computer‑vision models that automatically recognize and segment building elements.

• Annotate architectural floor plans using our Label Studio Enterprise platform to identify and segment:
  • Core infrastructure (elevators, stairs, shafts, mechanical rooms)
  • Doors (single, double, swing, emergency exits)
  • Restrooms and accessibility features
  • Structural elements (columns, walls)
  • Service areas (janitor closets, electrical rooms, AHU rooms)
• Ensure geometric accuracy (closed polygons, continuous walls, proper right angles)
• Follow strict annotation guidelines to maintain consistency across the dataset
• Identify rare or missing elements across floor plans
• Participate in weekly calibration sessions to review edge cases and maintain quality standards
• Meet quality benchmarks for accuracy, completeness, and consistency

• Strong proficiency reading architectural floor plans (AutoCAD, Revit, or hand‑drawn)
• Understanding of architectural symbols and conventions
• Knowledge of building systems and core building elements
• Familiarity with building codes and accessibility standards (ADA compliance, fire exits, etc.)
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to maintain focus on precise work

• Excellent visual‑spatial reasoning
• Consistency and reliability in work quality
• Self‑motivated with ability to work independently
• Strong communication skills for flagging issues
• Comfortable with feedback and iterative improvement
• Minimum 10 hours per week availability for at least 3 months

• Formal education in architecture or related field (any level)
• Experience with commercial/corporate office design
• Familiarity with MEP systems (mechanical, electrical, plumbing)
• Understanding of structural systems and load‑bearing elements

• CAD software proficiency (AutoCAD, Revit, Archi
  
  CAD, Sketch Up)
• Experience with vector graphics or image editing tools
• Prior data annotation or labeling experience
• Exposure to machine learning or computer vision concepts
• GIS or spatial data analysis experience

• Pattern recognition skills – quickly identifying repeated elements
• Systematic, methodical approach to reviewing work
• Problem‑solving mindset for handling ambiguous cases
• Interest in AI/ML applications in architecture
• Previous remote work experience

You're highly detail‑oriented – you notice when walls don't align or when accessibility features are missing. Small inconsistencies don’t escape your attention.

You understand spatial relationships – you can mentally visualize 3‑D spaces from 2‑D drawings and understand why buildings are organized the way they are.

You're consistent – you find satisfaction in doing precise work to a high standard and take pride in quality craftsmanship.

You're a clear communicator – you flag problems early, ask clarifying questions, and aren't afraid to say “I'm not sure about this element.”

You're curious about technology – you’re genuinely interested in how AI learns from annotated data and see value in the intersection of architecture and machine learning.
