Job description

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a CATIA Specialist (SME) to create realistic, challenging computer-based tasks using Dassault Systèmes CATIA and related advanced engineering design workflows.

You will develop professional CATIA modeling and engineering tasks, document them clearly in SuperAnnotate, prepare the required software environment, and record yourself executing the tasks on your computer.

Tasks may include parametric part design, complex surface modeling, product assemblies, mechanical component development, automotive or aerospace design, sheet metal modelling, engineering drawings, geometric modifications, and model preparation for downstream manufacturing processes.

We are particularly interested in professionals with backgrounds in aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial design, and advanced product development.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world's largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your CATIA expertise will help improve advanced AI models by demonstrating how engineering professionals use sophisticated CAD tools for real-world product design and development.

Key Responsibilities

• Create realistic CATIA tasks: Develop practical, challenging engineering and CAD design tasks based on real-world aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, industrial design, and product development workflows. Document each task clearly in SuperAnnotate.
• Prepare the work environment: Ensure Dassault Systèmes CATIA is installed and accessible, with the required workbenches, part files, assemblies, product structures, templates, reference geometry, and supporting assets ready before recording.
• Record task execution: Record yourself completing CATIA tasks on your computer, capturing the important modeling operations, design modifications, software settings, assembly changes, and validation steps.
• Demonstrate professional CAD workflows: Perform tasks involving parametric part design, complex surface modelling, assembly design, geometric constraints, feature modifications, sheet metal design, engineering drawings, and product structure management.
• Apply engineering design principles: Follow professional standards for geometric accuracy, dimensional constraints, surface continuity, assembly relationships, engineering tolerances, and design intent.
• Document task context: Provide clear task objectives, relevant engineering requirements, source models, design constraints, reference files, and expected deliverables so reviewers can understand the workflow and intended outcome.
• Validate completed designs: Review models and assemblies for geometry integrity, feature regeneration, surface quality, broken references, component alignment, dimensional accuracy, and overall design consistency.
• Maintain submission quality: Ensure screen recordings are clear and complete and that submitted CATIA files, supporting assets, task descriptions, and engineering deliverables follow project guidelines.

Your Profile

• 3+ years of professional experience using Dassault Systèmes CATIA in aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, industrial design, manufacturing, or related engineering work.
• Hands-on proficiency in CATIA, particularly part design, assembly design, surface modelling, sketching, engineering drawings, and parametric feature management.
• Professional background in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, commercial/industrial design, or related technical fields is preferred.
• Strong understanding of parametric design, geometric constraints, feature dependencies, assembly relationships, surface continuity, engineering tolerances, and design intent.
• Experience with relevant CATIA workbenches or modules, such as Part Design, Assembly Design, Generative Shape Design, Drafting, or Sheet Metal Design.
• Ability to diagnose complex modelling issues involving broken references, failed features, unstable assemblies, or problematic surfaces.
• Ability to develop realistic, challenging CATIA tasks based on professional product development, aerospace, automotive, and mechanical engineering use cases.
• Comfortable preparing CATIA projects, part files, product structures, references, templates, and design dependencies before recording.
• A shareable professional portfolio is required, demonstrating CATIA models, complex surfaces, assemblies, engineering drawings, or professional product designs.
• Strong attention to detail when reviewing geometry, model constraints, surface quality, tolerances, assemblies, and technical documentation.
• Comfortable recording detailed CAD workflows and managing professional engineering files.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to complezgeometry integrity, surface continuity, component relationships, engineering dimensions, and design consistency.
• Maintain submission quality: Ensure recordings and project files are complete and comply with project requirements.
