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.
