About AI Training and Coding Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. People with technical expertise help prepare, review, and evaluate examples that modern AI systems learn from, including computer code and structured technical content.

This work offers a way to contribute to cutting-edge technology remotely. Many projects provide flexible schedules and allow contributors to choose work that fits their expertise and availability.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking an expert CAD/CadQuery Engineer to convert STEP files into simple, editable, and executable CadQuery Python scripts.

The objective is to rebuild each model with clear parametric mechanical features rather than relying on an uneditable imported solid. The engagement is expected to run for 1 to 3 months and is offered on a contractor basis.

  • Work worldwide on a remote project
  • Expected project duration of 1 to 3 months
  • Contractor engagement
  • Hourly pay of $20 to $40 USD
  • English-language work

What You'll Do

You will interpret STEP geometry and independently determine how each model should be reconstructed in CadQuery. Your work will involve selecting suitable sketches, dimensions, feature operations, and solid-modeling techniques to produce accurate, executable Python scripts.

  • Convert STEP files into CadQuery Python scripts
  • Rebuild models using parametric sketches and dimensions
  • Apply extrusions, holes, patterns, fillets, and chamfers
  • Use Boolean operations and other solid-modeling techniques
  • Create simple, editable, and executable model scripts
  • Explain screening decisions clearly when discussing your work

Requirements

This opportunity is intended for an expert contributor with practical CAD experience and strong knowledge of parametric mechanical modeling. You must be able to work independently, interpret geometry accurately, and explain the reasoning behind your modeling decisions.

Fluent English proficiency is required for project communication and screening discussions.

  • Expert-level CAD and parametric mechanical engineering experience
  • Practical experience with CAD modeling
  • Proficiency with CadQuery
  • Proficiency with Python
  • Ability to interpret STEP geometry
  • Strong accuracy and attention to detail
  • Ability to independently select sketches, dimensions, and feature operations
  • Ability to discuss relevant experience for this CAD/CadQuery Engineer role
  • Fluent English proficiency

Who Should Apply

Apply if you are confident translating existing 3D geometry into clean, parameter-driven CadQuery code and have the mechanical modeling judgment to choose effective construction methods. The role is a strong fit for an experienced CAD professional who is comfortable combining engineering knowledge with Python-based modeling.

  • Experienced CAD engineers
  • Parametric mechanical modeling specialists
  • CadQuery and Python practitioners
  • Professionals who can work independently with STEP files
  • Detail-oriented contributors comfortable explaining technical decisions
