Our platform identifies and vets top talent through an AI recruiter, enabling high-quality expert contributions at scale. We aim to enable 1 billion people to do meaningful work by applying their expertise to AI. As our global expert network grows, micro1 is building the human intelligence layer for frontier AI.
Role Title: CAD Design Expert (Instructor)
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging CAD Design Experts to contribute to a customer's project focused on sophisticated multi-part assemblies and parametric modeling. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
Analyze and interpret product requirements to design robust, manufacturable multi-part assemblies using advanced parametric CAD tools.
Demonstrate design intent and assembly reasoning by making critical decisions on architecture, component placement, and tolerance stack-ups.
Document design rationales, best practices, and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) considerations to guide AI learning workflows.
Create, annotate, and optimize 3D models and assemblies that exemplify expert-level CAD methodologies.
Review and critique sample designs, providing detailed feedback on modeling strategies and design feasibility.
Collaborate asynchronously with the project team, responding to queries and clarifying complex design decisions in clear written and verbal communication.
Contribute educational insights or mentoring content based on your CAD expertise to improve project deliverables.
Preferred Qualifications
5+ years in professional CAD design, with responsibility for leading design decisions on complex assemblies, including architecture, mating strategies, tolerances, and DFM principles.
Mastery of a major parametric CAD software package (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, Onshape, Solid Edge); familiarity with FreeCAD is a plus.
Strong capability to articulate design logic, trade-offs, and assembly intent both in documentation and through interactive discussions.
Experience mentoring, teaching, or enabling others in CAD design, formally or informally.
A recognized CAD credential (e.g., CSWE/CSWP, Autodesk Certified Instructor/Expert Elite, ASME GDTP, SOLIDWORKS Champion) is highly valued and may substitute for a formal experience bar.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively in remote and asynchronous professional contexts.
Attention to detail and commitment to delivering insightful, high-quality contributions.
