Job description

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a CAD & Engineering Professional (SME) to create realistic, challenging computer-based tasks using professional computer-aided design (CAD), engineering, architecture, and 3D modeling software.

You will design practical CAD and engineering tasks, document them clearly in SuperAnnotate, ensure your computer setup supports the task, and record yourself executing the workflow on your computer.

Tasks may include creating and modifying technical drawings, developing 2D and 3D models, designing mechanical components, architectural modeling, civil infrastructure design, industrial product development, assemblies, parametric modeling, documentation, and preparing professional design deliverables.

We are particularly interested in professionals experienced with Bentley MicroStation, McNeel Rhinoceros 3D, Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D, PTC Creo Parametric, Dassault Systèmes CATIA, Autodesk Revit, Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks, Autodesk AutoCAD, and Trimble SketchUp Pro.

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 CAD and engineering expertise will directly help improve the world's premier AI models by teaching them how experienced professionals complete real-world design, modeling, and engineering workflows.

Mandatory: Applicants must be able to provide a shareable professional portfolio accessible to the SuperAnnotate team.

Key Responsibilities

• Create realistic CAD and engineering tasks: Develop practical and challenging tasks based on real-world professional workflows using your preferred CAD or engineering application. Document each task clearly in SuperAnnotate.
• Prepare the work environment: Ensure the required CAD software is installed or accessible and that all project files, drawings, models, libraries, templates, references, and supporting assets are ready before recording.
• Record task execution: Record yourself completing the CAD or engineering task on your computer, capturing the steps required to achieve the intended design outcome.
• Demonstrate professional software use: Execute workflows involving technical drawings, 3D modeling, parametric design, assemblies, architectural layouts, civil engineering designs, drafting, annotations, design modifications, or related engineering activities.
• Document task context: Provide clear task objectives, required inputs, relevant project information, and expected deliverables so reviewers can understand the workflow and its intended result.
• Apply professional design standards: Follow appropriate technical conventions, dimensional accuracy, design constraints, file organization practices, and relevant engineering or architectural standards.
• Validate completed work: Review the final drawings, models, assemblies, or design packages to ensure the task was completed correctly and produces a usable result.
• Maintain recording and submission quality: Ensure screen recordings are clear and complete and that submitted files, task descriptions, and supporting materials follow project guidelines.

Your Profile

• 3+ years of professional experience in CAD design, engineering, architecture, industrial design, product development, technical drafting, 3D modeling, or related technical design work.
• Professional background in one or more of the following fields, listed in priority order: Commercial and Industrial Design Aerospace Engineering Architecture Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Industrial Engineering Civil Engineering
• Hands-on proficiency in at least one of the following CAD or engineering applications, listed in priority order: Bentley MicroStation McNeel Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino) Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D PTC Creo Parametric Dassault Systèmes CATIA Autodesk Revit Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Autodesk AutoCAD Trimble SketchUp Pro
• Strong understanding of professional CAD workflows, including technical drawing creation, 2D drafting, 3D modeling, design modifications, dimensions, annotations, assemblies, layers, constraints, parametric modeling, or design documentation, as applicable to your specialization.
• Ability to come up with realistic, challenging CAD and engineering tasks that reflect actual professional design, engineering, architecture, manufacturing, or infrastructure workflows.
• Comfortable using a computer, managing project files, navigating professional CAD interfaces, preparing design environments, and recording software workflows.
• Ability to independently prepare the required software environment, including installing or accessing the relevant CAD application, opening or preparing project files, and ensuring all necessary assets and references are available before recording.
• A shareable professional portfolio is required, demonstrating relevant CAD or engineering experience through technical drawings, 3D models, assemblies, architectural plans, engineering designs, or complete design packages.
• Strong attention to detail when working with dimensions, geometry, constraints, technical specifications, model organization, design accuracy, and professional documentation.
• Reliable, self-directed, and comfortable working in an hourly, remote contractor environment across time zones.
• English proficiency is not mandatory. Applicants from all language backgrounds are welcome, provided they can understand the applicable project instructions and complete the required tasks.
• Prior experience with screen recording, technical demonstrations, CAD training, workflow documentation, AI data training, or annotation projects is a plus but not required.
