Autodesk Inventor Expert Remote

Job Type: Contractor
Location: Remote

We are seeking experienced Autodesk Inventor Specialists to contribute their expertise to an innovative project at the intersection of mechanical engineering and emerging AI technology. In this role you will help improve next-generation AI systems by creating reviewing and refining mechanical CAD models and technical documentation. No prior AI experience is requiredyour engineering and CAD expertise are what matter most.

• Develop fully parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor (or comparable CAD platforms) based on detailed design requirements.

• Modify and update existing CAD models while maintaining parametric integrity and industry best practices.

• Review and audit CAD models for dimensional accuracy GD&T compliance manufacturability and design quality.

• Create interpret and validate detailed engineering drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.5 (or equivalent) GD&T standards.

• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles across manufacturing processes including injection molding sheet metal fabrication CNC machining and casting.

• Support AI model development by documenting design decisions engineering rationale model revisions and audit findings.

• Collaborate remotely with cross-functional teams and provide clear technical feedback to improve engineering datasets and AI-generated outputs.

• Autodesk Inventor.

• Parametric 3D CAD modeling.

• GD&T (ASME Y14.5).

• Design for Manufacturability (DFM).

• Technical drawing interpretation.

• Assembly-level mechanical 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).

• Technical documentation.

• Strong written and verbal communication.

• Excellent problem-solving skills.

• High attention to detail.

• Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience in parametric CAD modeling for edit-level tasks; 10 years preferred for complex design and model creation.

• Expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Inventor with experience in comparable CAD platforms such as FreeCAD SolidWorks or Fusion 360 considered highly valuable.

• Practical experience applying GD&T (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent) in production environments.

• Proven Design for Manufacturability (DFM) experience across multiple manufacturing processes including injection molding sheet metal CNC machining and casting.

• Experience with reverse engineering workflows such as Scan-to-CAD and Point Cloud-to-Model reconstruction.

• Ability to design and manage complex assemblies and mechanical systems.

• Experience with CAD automation scripting or API development using Python iLogic VBA NX Open or similar technologies.
