Remote | CAD Expert — $80–$130/hour
24-MAGWe are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced CAD professionals with strong expertise in computer-aided design, manufacturing workflows, CAM, CNC, and digital fabrication to contribute to an advanced AI training and technical evaluation project.
Selected professionals will review AI-generated manufacturing content, assess workflow recommendations, and apply practical CAD expertise to evaluate process accuracy, efficiency, and technical quality. The work is particularly suited to candidates with hands-on experience in platforms such as Fusion 360, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Onshape, Inventor, CATIA, Creo, or comparable CAD environments. No prior experience in AI is required.
Key Responsibilities
CAD & Manufacturing Workflow Evaluation
- Apply hands-on CAD experience to manufacturing and engineering workflow scenarios
- Review manufacturing processes, modelling approaches, and technical recommendations
- Assess whether proposed workflows are practical, efficient, and technically sound
- Identify unrealistic assumptions, process gaps, or weak manufacturing logic
- Provide expert feedback grounded in real-world CAD and production experience
AI-Generated Content Review
- Review and assess AI-generated content related to CAD and manufacturing workflows
- Evaluate recommendations for technical accuracy, usability, and real-world applicability
- Identify incorrect, incomplete, or inefficient process guidance
- Refine technical content where necessary to improve quality and clarity
- Apply professional judgement when evaluating ambiguous or context-dependent outputs
CAM, CNC & Digital Manufacturing
- Contribute expertise involving CAM, CNC machining, and digital manufacturing workflows where applicable
- Evaluate manufacturing-process decisions from design through production
- Assess practical considerations involving machining, fabrication, and manufacturability
- Identify workflow inefficiencies or technical constraints that may affect production outcomes
- Provide clear reasoning behind manufacturing-process recommendations
Rubric Development & Quality Standards
- Develop and validate detailed rubrics for evaluating manufacturing-process quality
- Define criteria related to technical accuracy, efficiency, and workflow suitability
- Apply evaluation standards consistently across technical assignments
- Document reasoning and assessment criteria clearly
- Contribute to the refinement of project quality standards and technical benchmarks
Ideal Profile
- Hands-on experience with at least one professional CAD platform
- Relevant tools may include Fusion 360, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Onshape, Inventor, CATIA, Creo, FreeCAD, or comparable systems
- Strong practical understanding of CAD modelling and manufacturing workflows
- Experience with Autodesk tools, particularly Fusion 360 or AutoCAD, is advantageous
- Background in CAM, CNC machining, or digital manufacturing is strongly valued
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with emphasis on clarity and technical detail
- Python proficiency is a significant advantage
- Familiarity with AI tools, generative design, or AI-assisted engineering workflows is beneficial
- Experience developing or applying technical evaluation rubrics is advantageous
- Ability to assess manufacturing-process accuracy, efficiency, and practical feasibility
- No prior experience in AI training is required
Engagement Details
- Part-time independent contractor engagement
- Fully remote and open to candidates worldwide
- Compensation: $80–$130/hour
- Expected commitment: approximately 15–20 hours per week
- Schedule is fully flexible and can accommodate evenings or weekends where needed
- Compensation is output-based, with payment made for tasks that meet project specifications
- Minimum weekly submission requirements apply
- Work will involve CAD expertise, manufacturing-process evaluation, AI-output review, and rubric development
- The selection process may include screening questions, an approximately 30-minute AI interview, and hiring-manager review
- Selected professionals should be prepared to begin their first tasks within approximately 24–48 hours of completing onboarding
- Roles are typically filled within approximately 48 hours
- Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
