Overview

Join SME Careers as a Rhinoceros 3D Specialist and design realistic modeling tasks using McNeel Rhino and related design workflows. Document each task in SuperAnnotate, assemble the necessary Rhino environment, and record screen walkthroughs of your work. Projects span NURBS surface modeling, solids, curves, and surface repairs across industrial design, architecture, and product development. This remote, hourly contract role supports AI data training by demonstrating professional 3D design workflows for leading labs and clients.

What You'll Do8

  • Develop realistic Rhino tasks and document objectives and context in SuperAnnotate.
  • Prepare the Rhino work environment by installing Rhino, loading source models, reference images, plugins, and assets before recording.
  • Record task execution by capturing step-by-step modeling on screen.
  • Demonstrate professional modeling workflows involving NURBS surfaces, curves, solids, Boolean operations, repairs, and complex geometry refinements.
  • Document task context, including the intended model, source geometry, constraints, and expected deliverables.
  • Validate geometry by checking surface continuity, units, tolerances, and downstream compatibility.
  • Maintain submission quality by organizing recordings, project files, and model outputs per guidelines.
  • Operate independently in a remote contractor arrangement and manage project files effectively.

Requirements10

  • 3+ years of professional Rhino experience in industrial design, product development, architecture, engineering, jewelry design, or related 3D modeling.
  • Strong proficiency with McNeel Rhinoceros 3D, including NURBS curves and surfaces, solids, Boolean operations, surface continuity, object organization, and geometry editing.
  • Strong understanding of 3D geometry, tolerances, surface quality, topology, model organization, scaling, and export formats.
  • Experience with complex surface creation, trimming, joining, rebuilding, blending, filleting, or repairing imported models.
  • Ability to develop realistic, challenging Rhino tasks that reflect professional modeling activities.
  • Ability to prepare the required software environment, including Rhino installation or access, source models, reference images, plugins, and assets.
  • A shareable professional portfolio is required.
  • Strong attention to detail when evaluating geometry, surface continuity, naked edges, model tolerance, topology, and export integrity.
  • Comfortable recording computer-based modeling workflows.
  • Reliable, self-directed, and capable of working independently in a remote contractor environment.

Preferred Qualifications2

  • Familiarity with Grasshopper or other parametric modeling workflows.
  • Previous experience with technical demonstrations, modeling tutorials, workflow documentation, or AI data training.

Who Should Apply

Ideal candidates have 3+ years of hands-on Rhino experience in industrial design, architecture, or product development, plus a portfolio that demonstrates 3D models and surface work. They are comfortable working remotely on a contract basis and can produce clear, tutorial-ready task documentation.
