CAD Engineer - AI Trainer
Up to$14
/hr equivalent
AI labs are teaching models to use professional design software, so they pay people who use it at work. Most roles have you build a realistic task in your own CAD or 3D program, record your screen while you do it and write down the steps, and each listing names the program it wants. Most roles pay $53-$94/hr. Our guide for 3D modelers and CAD designers covers what each program pays and how to apply.

Listings that name one professional package pay the most. Specialist roles for CATIA, Creo, MicroStation, Rhino and SketchUp sit at the top of the range. General "application user" recordings in Blender or Unreal Engine sit at the bottom.
Usually yes. The task-recording roles ask you to have the program installed and your project files ready before you record. If your license comes through your employer, check that it allows work for other clients.
Listings screen on years of professional use of the program more than on a degree. Engineering, architecture and industrial design backgrounds are preferred, and some roles ask for a portfolio link you can share.
Yes, though the rate depends on where you live. Mindrift posts the same CAD engineer role country by country at different hourly rates, and SME Careers opens its AutoCAD, FreeCAD and Blender roles across South and Southeast Asia and Brazil.
There are 107 open listings, from 14 platforms: Mindrift (46), Mercor (16), SME Careers (11), micro1 (11) and Handshake (7). The newest one was added today. The count changes as platforms post and close roles.
Most pay $53 to $94 an hour, and typical pay is $80, based on 102 posted hourly rates. The highest rate currently posted here is $175 an hour. These are the rates the platforms posted. The rate you're offered depends on how you do in the platform's assessment.
Mindrift (46), Mercor (16), SME Careers (11), micro1 (11) and Handshake (7). No single one dominates this category, so it is worth holding accounts on more than one. Most contracts allow you to work through several platforms at the same time.
The roles here fall across 9 areas, led by STEM (60), Design (19), Generalist (12) and Software Engineering (7). The requirements named most often are Screen Recording, AI Training, 3D Modeling, CAD and Architectural Design. Each listing spells out its own task type, so read the individual page before applying.
