CAD Engineer — ScreenSpot Plus (Screenshot Capture & UI Annotation) | $70-$90/hr Remote
Overview
We're looking for an experienced CAD professional to help train AI by capturing screenshots of CAD software during realistic workflows, annotating interactive UI elements, and writing clear task instructions. This role starts with a pilot phase where your work gets reviewed for quality before moving into full production. It's a remote, hourly opportunity paying $70–$90/hr for experts in tools like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360.
What You'll Do4
- 1Take high-resolution screenshots of professional CAD tools while performing expert-level, real-world tasks
- 2Label and tag interactive interface components such as buttons, menus, panels, toolbars, and dialogs with precision and consistency
- 3Compose natural-language instructions that accurately describe how an experienced user would navigate the software in a given scenario
- 4Revise your submissions based on feedback during the pilot phase to ensure they meet quality benchmarks before scaling up
Requirements5
- 1Proven hands-on experience with at least one major CAD platform like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, Revit, or Siemens NX
- 2Deep familiarity with everyday workflows, shortcuts, and interface layouts of your chosen CAD tool
- 3Meticulous attention to detail and the ability to follow structured annotation and capture guidelines
- 4Strong written English skills to create clear, step-by-step task instructions
- 5Reliable access to your own licensed CAD software for capturing screenshots
Who Should Apply
This role is ideal for CAD power users—engineers, designers, or drafters—who know their software inside and out and can break down complex actions into simple, teachable steps. You should enjoy precise, detail-oriented work and be comfortable iterating on feedback to hit quality targets.
Salary Insight
The engagement offers an hourly rate of $70–$90/hour depending on experience and quality of submissions.
Application Tip
When applying, include a brief description of the specific CAD software you use daily and give an example of a complex workflow you could capture and annotate. This shows you understand the project's requirements before training even starts.
