Remote | CAD Expert — $80–$130/hour
About The Position
We 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.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with at least one professional CAD platform
- Strong practical understanding of CAD modelling and manufacturing workflows
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with emphasis on clarity and technical detail
- Ability to assess manufacturing-process accuracy, efficiency, and practical feasibility
- Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
