Remote Aerospace CAD Expert — AI Research & Domain Evaluation

Join ZR Talent Group's remote specialist network as a Remote Aerospace CAD Expert — AI Research & Domain Evaluation earning $40 - $80/hour. Working asynchronously from anywhere in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, or South Africa, you will apply your practical background in cad (computer-aided design), freecad, mechanical engineering, aerospace assemblies to benchmark frontier artificial intelligence models, identify failure modes, and elevate domain-specific accuracy.

Prior experience building machine learning systems is not required—our research partners value authentic practitioner judgment, domain rigor, and clear analytical writing.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

• Author objective, multi-part questions about aerospace assemblies, focusing on non-guessable queries that require exact, technical answers.
• Review native FreeCAD files to analyze and understand complex mechanical assemblies.
• Develop several high-quality questions per assembly, ensuring coverage of key features, functions, and relationships between parts.
• Deliver clear, well-researched answers to each question with reference to the assembly data.
• Collaborate via writing and occasional verbal communication to clarify requirements and ensure technical accuracy.
• Maintain a standards-driven approach, ensuring questions and answers are comprehensive, relevant, and program-agnostic.
• Contribute to documentation and feedback processes to improve future question sets and project workflows.

Required Qualifications & Technical Criteria

• Demonstrated professional or advanced academic background in cad (computer-aided design), freecad, mechanical engineering, aerospace assemblies.
• Strong analytical writing and critical evaluation skills in English.
• Self-directed work ethic suited for an asynchronous, 100% remote research environment.

Preferred Experience & Bonus Attributes

• Demonstrated expertise in aerospace, mechanical engineering, or industrial design with a strong foundation in CAD principles.
• Hands-on experience with multi-part CAD assemblies, including ability to interpret complex design intent and technical drawings.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to convey technical concepts clearly and concisely.
• Working knowledge of FreeCAD or similar CAD platforms (FreeCAD exposure is a plus, not required).
• Proven ability to author precise technical questions and answers, ideally in an educational or documentation context.
• Meticulous analytical precision and commitment to providing high-quality, objective content.
• Interest in advancing technology and supporting the development of intelligent design systems.
