About The Position

Help train and evaluate AI agents working inside a real CAD environment on long engineering tasks that would take an expert 10–15 hours. Design part geometry, build reference solutions, and assess the agents’ attempts. Work alongside CFD engineers who simulate the geometry you build. This is a freelance opportunity. During active project phases, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week; this is an estimate rather than guaranteed workload and applies only while the project is active. Contributors can earn up to $19 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution. Compensation varies by project scope, complexity, and required expertise.

• At least 5 years of professional, hands-on CAD modelling experience using CATIA, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Creo, or similar.
• An active professional CAD licence of your own.
• Comfort with Python and GitHub.
• English proficiency at B2 level or above.

Nice To Haves

• A Master’s or PhD is a plus.
• Experience preparing geometry for simulation using ANSYS or similar is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Design part geometry.
• Build reference solutions for AI-agent tasks.
• Evaluate AI agents’ attempts.
• Work alongside CFD engineers who simulate the geometry.

Benefits

• Work fully remotely on your own schedule.
• Apply your expertise to real-world technology projects and gain experience building high-quality solutions for a global platform.
• Participate in performance-based bonus programs that reward high-quality work and consistent delivery.
