CNC Manufacturing Documentation Reviewer

Role Overview

Review real-world CNC job packs to determine whether the documentation is authentic, technically relevant, complete, and suitable for an AI evaluation and manufacturing-workflow research project. This is a review role focused on assessing submitted materials, not designing parts or programming CNC machines.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess the quality and completeness of CNC job packs submitted by manufacturing companies, CNC shops, machinists, and production teams.
• Confirm whether documentation appears to originate from real CNC manufacturing work.
• Check that files are not publicly available, AI-generated, generic, or artificially created.
• Verify that files relate to the same part, job, drawing number, customer part number, or production workflow.
• Evaluate engineering drawings, ballooned drawings, tolerances, material specifications, setup sheets, tooling lists, process flow charts, control plans, and inspection documentation.
• Determine whether production artifacts, including G-code, CAM output, toolpath documents, and setup instructions, are meaningful and connected to the job.
• Identify missing or weak artifacts and flag confidential, personal, customer, or company-sensitive information that should be redacted.
• Provide a concise quality assessment and recommendation: accept, accept with minor issues, request more information, or reject.

Qualifications

• Direct experience in CNC manufacturing, CNC programming, machining, or manufacturing quality control.
• Experience with CNC milling and/or CNC turning.
• Ability to review technical drawings, GD&T, tolerances, setup sheets, machining instructions, CAD/CAM workflows, G-code or NC files, tooling lists, cutting tools, process routing, job cards, travelers, inspection reports, QC checklists, CMM reports, control plans, material certificates, mill test reports, and shop-floor manufacturing documentation.
• Comfort evaluating the quality and completeness of technical manufacturing documents.

Documentation Reviewed

Job packs may include customer requests, RFQs, purchase orders, internal work orders, job cards, route cards, travelers, engineering or ballooned drawings, CAD files such as STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG, or native CAD files, CAM files, toolpath exports, operation sheets, setup sheets, G-code or NC files, tooling lists, CNC setup instructions, process flow charts, control plans, material specifications, mill test certificates, raw-material inspection reports, in-process inspection reports, final inspection reports, CMM reports, and photos of parts, setups, fixtures, or machining processes.

Work Terms

Remote engagement.

Compensation

$40 to $50 per hour.
