CAD Drafter for AI Research Project

CAD Drafters apply CAD and 3D modeling expertise to support AI research projects that improve models'' understanding of real-world drafting and technical design tasks. In this role you will use your domain knowledge to create, review, and evaluate outputs that help refine how AI handles professional CAD workflows.

• Apply professional CAD and drafting experience to tasks that train and evaluate AI on real-world drafting problems.
• Develop domain-specific prompts and test cases for large language models and other AI systems.
• Evaluate LLM responses and AI-generated outputs for technical accuracy, completeness, and adherence to drafting standards.
• Provide expert feedback, annotations, and corrections to improve model behavior in CAD and design contexts.
• Learn and adapt to new evaluation tasks across related disciplines as projects require.

• At least 1+ years of full-time work experience using one or more of the following tools:
• AutoCAD Mechanical
• AutoDesk Inventor Pro
• Rhino 3D
• LibreCAD
• SolveSpace
• Other related technical CAD tools
• Ability to work asynchronously with AI research teams, managing tasks and communication across remote workflows.

• Location: Remote, work from wherever you are.
• Employment type: Part time.
• Schedule: Asynchronous and flexible hours, there is no minimum hourly commitment.
• Project placement is dependent on project availability; the program runs year-round and new project opportunities open periodically across different specialties.
