About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors prepare examples, write questions and answers, and evaluate information so AI systems can learn from accurate, well-structured human input. For this project, your CAD and engineering knowledge will help train models to understand assemblies, design intent, functions, and relationships between components.

• AI training work can offer flexible, remote opportunities that fit around other commitments.
• Specialist projects use professional knowledge in fields such as mechanical engineering and industrial design.
• Careful human review helps make AI outputs more accurate, useful, and reliable.

The Industrial Design CAD Expert Role

OpenTrain is seeking expert contributors with a background in mechanical engineering, aerospace, or industrial design. You will work with native FreeCAD assemblies and related technical materials, using your understanding of CAD and multi-part design to create high-quality training content.

The project is expected to run for 3 to 6 months. This is a contractor opportunity with pay ranging from $40 to $80 USD per hour, with an expected rate of $60 USD per hour.
