- 4Experience developing or using process evaluation rubrics is highly valued.
- 5Ability to start within 24-48 hours of completing onboarding.
- 6Comfort working independently in a remote, output-based environment.
Who Should Apply
This role suits manufacturing professionals who have deep hands-on experience with CAM, CNC, and Fusion 360 and want to apply that knowledge to AI training. Candidates who enjoy evaluating processes, writing clear feedback, and building rubrics will fit well. The role is less suitable for those new to manufacturing or without direct CAM/CNC experience. A common reason candidates get rejected is not showing specific Fusion 360 projects or CAM workflows in their application. Another is failing to demonstrate clear written communication, which is critical for creating evaluation rubrics.
Salary Insight
Compensation is $60 to $100 per hour, paid per task that meets project specifications. The time to complete each task varies based on your experience and workflow. Minimum submission requirements apply, and experts must submit a minimum number of tasks per week.
