Role Title: Autodesk Inventor Specialist
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging Autodesk Inventor Specialists to contribute to a customer-focused project involving advanced mechanical design. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Note on Software: We're looking for experts with strong 3D parametric CAD modelling experience — for example, in Autodesk Inventor Specialist. This experience is directly transferable to FreeCAD, which is the software this project will focus on. Prior FreeCAD experience is ideal.
Scope of Work
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.
Preferred qualifications
Minimum 4 years of hands-on parametric modeling experience for edit-level tasks; 10+ years for complex creation work.
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).
Experience with 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.
Familiarity with CAD automation, scripting (Python, iLogic, VBA, NX Open), or similar tools for enhancing workflow efficiency.
