Autodesk Inventor Specialist for AI Training [Remote]

Create, edit, and audit parametric 3D mechanical designs using Autodesk Inventor to produce production-ready CAD models, drawings, and documentation. Your deliverables will be used to train and evaluate next-generation AI systems, so clear rationale, traceable edits, and manufacturable designs are essential. No prior AI experience is required, domain expertise is the priority.

• Develop fully parametric 3D CAD models of parts and assemblies from detailed written briefs using Autodesk Inventor or comparable platforms.
• Edit and update existing models to reflect revised requirements while maintaining full parametric intent and best-practice modeling standards.
• Audit CAD models and drawings for dimensional accuracy, tolerance application, and manufacturability, documenting gaps and recommended corrections.
• Create and interpret technical drawings, applying ASME Y14.5 or equivalent GD&T standards.
• Incorporate Design for Manufacturability considerations across processes such as injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining, and casting or forging.
• Support AI training efforts by providing clear documentation, explanations, and rationale for design decisions, edits, and audit findings.
• Work on reverse engineering tasks, including scan-to-CAD and point cloud-to-model reconstruction where required.
• Manage assembly-level design tasks, not limited to single-part modeling.
• Apply or develop CAD automation and scripting to improve workflow efficiency, and perform CAD model auditing.
• Communicate findings and recommendations clearly in written and verbal form to project stakeholders.

• Software and modeling skills: Autodesk Inventor required, fluency with similar platforms such as FreeCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360 is highly relevant.
• Parametric 3D CAD modeling experience, with a minimum of 4 years for edit-level work, and 10 or more years for complex creation tasks.
• Practical knowledge and application of GD&T, ASME Y14.5 or equivalent.
• Design for Manufacturability experience across at least two to three manufacturing processes, for example injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining, casting.
• Reverse engineering experience, including scan-to-CAD and point-cloud workflows.
• Experience with assembly-level design and complex mechanical systems.
• Familiarity with CAD automation and scripting languages or tools such as Python, iLogic, VBA, NX Open, or similar.
• Strong written and verbal communication, documentation skills, problem-solving ability, and attention to detail.

• Engagement type: Contractor.
• Location: Remote.
• Project context: Contribution to a customer-focused mechanical design project that supports AI training and evaluation.

• Hourly rate: $30.00 to $100.00 per hour.

• No prior AI experience required; domain expertise in mechanical CAD and manufacturing is the qualification focus.
• Candidates must be able to accept work as independent contractors and perform remote work. Specific legal or tax obligations for contractor status depend on your country of residence and are your responsibility.

If you are interested, follow the application option shown with this listing to express interest. Be prepared to share your resume, a brief summary of relevant experience, and examples or portfolio items that demonstrate parametric modeling, GD&T application, DFM work, or reverse engineering outputs. Indicate your availability and target hourly rate within the stated $30 to $100 per hour range.
