About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Expert contributors review model outputs, create examples, and define evaluation standards so AI systems can produce more accurate and useful results. In this project, your manufacturing judgment will directly inform AI systems working with CAD and production workflows.

• Contribute expert knowledge to cutting-edge AI development
• Review and improve AI-generated content
• Help define how accuracy and efficiency are measured

The Role

OpenTrain is seeking an expert CAD contributor with hands-on experience using at least one professional CAD platform and detailed knowledge of manufacturing. You will assess manufacturing processes and techniques, review and refine AI-generated recommendations, and create and validate detailed rubrics for measuring process accuracy and efficiency.

Prior experience working with AI is not required. The role is suited to an experienced CAD, CAM, or digital manufacturing professional who can communicate clearly and apply strong technical judgment.

• Role level: Expert
• Pay: USD $80 to $130 per hour
• Hourly rate listed: USD $105
• Expected commitment: at least 20 hours per week
• Expected project duration: 3 to 6 months

What You'll Do

Your work will combine manufacturing expertise with structured AI evaluation. You will help determine whether AI-generated guidance reflects sound production methods and whether it meets clearly defined standards for process quality and efficiency.

• Assess manufacturing processes and techniques
