About the Role

We're looking for CAD Engineers to support the training and evaluation of AI models through task-based work. This isn't traditional CAD production work — you'll apply deep CAD domain expertise to create realistic assignments, define clear requirements and expected outputs, and rigorously review completed work for accuracy. If you can think like both an engineer and an evaluator, this role is built for that.

What You'll Do

Analyze CAD domains to identify realistic, representative task scenarios

Create well-defined assignments with clear requirements and expected outputs

Review completed work for technical accuracy and adherence to CAD best practices

Source and validate CAD files to ensure quality and relevance for AI training use cases

Provide clear, structured feedback to support AI model evaluation

Complete a short paid test task, which determines eligibility for larger batches of ongoing work

What You Bring

Strong hands-on CAD engineering experience across relevant domains and tools

Ability to design realistic, well-scoped technical assignments from scratch

Strong attention to detail for reviewing and validating technical work

Comfort working in a task-based, output-driven engagement structure

Ability to source and assess CAD files for quality and appropriateness

Nice to Have

Prior experience contributing to AI training, evaluation, or data annotation projects

Familiarity with multiple CAD platforms or specialized CAD domains

Why This Role

Flexible, task-based structure: Work in discrete assignments rather than a fixed long-term commitment

High-leverage impact: Your CAD expertise directly shapes how AI models learn and are evaluated

Low-commitment entry point: Start with a short paid test task before scaling into larger batches of work

Domain expertise valued: Real engineering judgment matters here, not just task completion
