Inventor Professional Application User - Remote
Listing checked September 13, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor seeks professionals who already work inside Inventor Professional on a Windows PC. You need the software installed and ready to open on your own machine. Mercor does not supply licenses, virtual machines, or hardware. The work centers on mechanical design and product development, with Autodesk Inventor used for 3D part and assembly modeling. You also need a display setup that captures screenshots above 2.5 megapixels.
What You'll Do6
- 1Open Inventor Professional on your own Windows computer and use it for assigned tasks.
- 2Create and edit 3D mechanical parts and assembly models in Inventor.
- 3Capture screenshots of your Inventor work at more than 2.5 megapixels.
- 4Use a qualifying monitor setup, such as one high-resolution screen or two displays that you capture as a single spanning image.
- 5Apply real-world product design or machine design knowledge to application tasks.
- 6Keep your local Inventor license active and your workstation ready for contract work paid by the hour.
Requirements7
- 1Proven hands-on work with Autodesk Inventor Professional for 3D mechanical design and assembly modeling.
- 2You have Inventor Professional installed on a Windows PC that you can open today.
- 3You can launch Inventor Professional before or during the application process.
- 4Your screenshot tools or display hardware produce images above 2.5 megapixels.
- 5You use one monitor that meets the listed resolution for its aspect ratio, or two monitors with at least 1920x1080 each that you capture as a single spanning image.
- 6You bring a background as a mechanical engineer, machine designer, or equipment designer.
- 7You can handle remote contract work paid by the hour with your own software setup.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a mechanical engineer or product designer who already uses Inventor Professional on a Windows machine. You can open the software today, model parts and assemblies, and capture screenshots above 2.5 megapixels with your current display setup. This role suits people with real machine design, equipment design, or product development work behind them. Candidates who need Mercor to supply a license, a virtual machine, or a monitor will find a poor fit. Applications often score low when the candidate cannot show active Inventor access or when their screen setup falls under the pixel threshold. Another common issue is listing general CAD experience without proof of Inventor Professional projects.
Salary Insight
Mercor lists this engagement at $45 to $55 per hour. That rate matches contract work for an experienced CAD user who already owns the required software and display setup. No other compensation details appear in the posting.
