Remote Autodesk Inventor Specialist (Flexible Work-From-Home)

Partner with SMR Talent Collective from anywhere in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, or Ireland as a remote Remote Autodesk Inventor Specialist (Flexible Work-From-Home) ($30 - $100/hour). This specialist role focuses on evaluating AI model outputs, authoring domain-specific rubrics, and validating technical workflows involving autodesk inventor, parametric 3d cad modeling, gd&t (asme y14.5), design for manufacturability (dfm).

Project Responsibilities

• Develop fully-parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies based on detailed written briefs using Autodesk Inventor (or comparable platforms).
• Edit and update existing models to reflect revised requirements, ensuring all changes remain fully parametric and in line with best practices.
• Audit and review CAD models for compliance with dimensional, tolerance, and manufacturability criteria, identifying and documenting any gaps or issues.
• Create and interpret detailed technical drawings, applying ASME Y14.5 or equivalent GD&T standards.
• Ensure robust Design for Manufacturability (DFM) considerations across processes such as injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining, and casting/forging.
• Support AI training initiatives by providing clear documentation and rationale for design decisions, edits, and audits.
• Communicate effectively in written and verbal formats, delivering precise feedback and solution-oriented insights to project stakeholders.

Required Expertise

• Expertise in Autodesk Inventor, with fluency in similar platforms like FreeCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360 considered highly relevant.
• Demonstrated proficiency with GD&T (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent), with practical, real-world application.
• Proven DFM experience covering at least two to three manufacturing processes (e.g., injection molding, sheet metal, CNC, casting).
• Practical background using reverse engineering workflows, such as scan-to-CAD or point cloud-to-model reconstruction.
• Ability to manage assembly-level designs and complex mechanical systems, not just single-part modeling.
• Working knowledge of CAD automation, scripting (Python, iLogic, VBA, NX Open), or similar tools for enhancing workflow efficiency.
• Compensation Band: $30 - $100/hour

Rate Structure & Remote Benefits

• Compensation Rate: $30 - $100/hour (contract specialist remuneration)
• Work Arrangement: 100% Remote / Work From Home
• Eligible Remote Countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa
• Core Competencies: autodesk inventor, parametric 3d cad modeling, gd&t (asme y14.5), design for manufacturability (dfm), technical drawing interpretation, assembly-level design, reverse engineering (scan-to-cad, point cloud-to-model), manufacturing process knowledge (injection molding, sheet metal, cnc machining, casting), cad model auditing, cad automation and scripting (python, ilogic, vba, nx open)
