Job Description

Job Title: Autodesk Inventor Specialist

Job Type: Contractor
Location: Remote

Job Overview

We are seeking experienced Autodesk Inventor Specialists to contribute their expertise to an innovative project at the intersection of mechanical engineering and emerging AI technology . In this role, you will help improve next-generation AI systems by creating, reviewing, and refining mechanical CAD models and technical documentation. No prior AI experience is required—your engineering and CAD expertise are what matter most.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop fully parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor (or comparable CAD platforms) based on detailed design requirements.

• Modify and update existing CAD models while maintaining parametric integrity and industry best practices.

• Review and audit CAD models for dimensional accuracy, GD&T compliance, manufacturability, and design quality.

• Create, interpret, and validate detailed engineering drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.5 (or equivalent) GD&T standards.

• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles across manufacturing processes including injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, and casting.

• Support AI model development by documenting design decisions, engineering rationale, model revisions, and audit findings.

• Collaborate remotely with cross-functional teams and provide clear, technical feedback to improve engineering datasets and AI-generated outputs.

Required Skills

• Autodesk Inventor.

• Parametric 3D CAD modeling.

• GD&T (ASME Y14.5).

• Design for Manufacturability (DFM).

• Technical drawing interpretation.

• Assembly-level mechanical design.

• Reverse engineering (Scan-to-CAD, Point Cloud-to-Model).

• Manufacturing process knowledge (Injection Molding, Sheet Metal, CNC Machining, Casting).

• CAD model auditing.

• CAD automation and scripting (Python, iLogic, VBA, NX Open).

• Technical documentation.

• Strong written and verbal communication.

• Excellent problem-solving skills.

• High attention to detail.

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience in parametric CAD modeling for edit-level tasks; 10+ years preferred for complex design and model creation.

• Expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Inventor, with experience in comparable CAD platforms such as FreeCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360 considered highly valuable.

• Practical experience applying GD&T (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent) in production environments.

• Proven Design for Manufacturability (DFM) experience across multiple manufacturing processes, including injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining, and casting.

• Experience with reverse engineering workflows such as Scan-to-CAD and Point Cloud-to-Model reconstruction.

• Ability to design and manage complex assemblies and mechanical systems.

• Experience with CAD automation, scripting, or API development using Python, iLogic, VBA, NX Open, or similar technologies.
