Role Title: CAD Design Expert (Instructor)

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

We are engaging CAD Design Experts to contribute to a customer's project focused on sophisticated multi-part assemblies and parametric modeling. 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

• Analyze and interpret product requirements to design robust, manufacturable multi-part assemblies using advanced parametric CAD tools.


• Demonstrate design intent and assembly reasoning by making critical decisions on architecture, component placement, and tolerance stack-ups.


• Document design rationales, best practices, and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) considerations to guide AI learning workflows.


• Create, annotate, and optimize 3D models and assemblies that exemplify expert-level CAD methodologies.


• Review and critique sample designs, providing detailed feedback on modeling strategies and design feasibility.


• Collaborate asynchronously with the project team, responding to queries and clarifying complex design decisions in clear written and verbal communication.


• Contribute educational insights or mentoring content based on your CAD expertise to improve project deliverables.

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years in professional CAD design, with responsibility for leading design decisions on complex assemblies, including architecture, mating strategies, tolerances, and DFM principles.


• Mastery of a major parametric CAD software package (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, Onshape, Solid Edge); familiarity with FreeCAD is a plus.


• Strong capability to articulate design logic, trade-offs, and assembly intent both in documentation and through interactive discussions.


• Experience mentoring, teaching, or enabling others in CAD design, formally or informally.


• A recognized CAD credential (e.g., CSWE/CSWP, Autodesk Certified Instructor/Expert Elite, ASME GDTP, SOLIDWORKS Champion) is highly valued and may substitute for a formal experience bar.


• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively in remote and asynchronous professional contexts.


• Attention to detail and commitment to delivering insightful, high-quality contributions.
