Job Title:
Autodesk Inventor Specialist
Job Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
We are seeking experienced Autodesk Inventor Specialists to contribute their expertise to an innovative project at the intersection of mechanical engineering and emerging AI technology
. In this role, you will help improve next-generation AI systems by creating, reviewing, and refining mechanical CAD models and technical documentation. No prior AI experience is required - your engineering and CAD expertise are what matter most.
Develop fully parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor (or comparable CAD platforms) based on detailed design requirements.
Modify and update existing CAD models while maintaining parametric integrity and industry best practices.
Review and audit CAD models for dimensional accuracy, GD&T compliance, manufacturability, and design quality.
Create, interpret, and validate detailed engineering drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.5 (or equivalent) GD&T standards.
Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles across manufacturing processes including injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, and casting.
Support AI model development by documenting design decisions, engineering rationale, model revisions, and audit findings.
Collaborate remotely with cross-functional teams and provide clear, technical feedback to improve engineering datasets and AI-generated outputs.
