McNeel Rhinoceros 3D Specialist

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino) Specialist (SME) to create realistic, challenging computer-based tasks using McNeel Rhinoceros 3D and related design and modeling workflows.

You will develop professional 3D modeling tasks, document them clearly in SuperAnnotate, prepare the necessary software environment, and record yourself executing each task on your computer.

Tasks may include NURBS surface modeling, solid modeling, curve editing, architectural geometry, industrial product design, surface repair, model refinement, file preparation, rendering setup, or geometry export for manufacturing and other CAD applications.

Professionals experienced in industrial design, architecture, product development, automotive design, jewelry design, and computational design are particularly encouraged to apply.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world's largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your Rhino expertise will help improve advanced AI models by demonstrating professional 3D design, surface modeling, and geometry-editing workflows.

Key responsibilities

• Create realistic Rhino tasks: Develop professional 3D modeling challenges and document the task objectives and context in SuperAnnotate.
• Prepare the work environment: Ensure Rhino, required models, reference drawings, plugins, and supporting assets are available before recording.
• Record task execution: Capture the steps involved in completing the Rhino task on your computer.
• Demonstrate professional modeling: Perform workflows involving NURBS surfaces, curves, solids, Boolean operations, model repairs, complex geometry, and design refinements.
• Document task context: Explain the intended model, source geometry, design constraints, and expected deliverable.
• Validate geometry: Check surface continuity, object integrity, units, tolerances, and downstream compatibility.
• Maintain submission quality: Ensure recordings, project files, and model outputs follow project guidelines.

Your profile

• 3+ years of professional experience using Rhino in industrial design, product development, architecture, engineering, jewelry design, or related 3D modeling work.
• Strong proficiency in McNeel Rhinoceros 3D, including NURBS curves and surfaces, solids, Boolean operations, surface continuity, object organization, and geometry editing.
• Professional experience in commercial/industrial design, architecture, product design, mechanical design, or related creative engineering fields is preferred.
• 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.
• Familiarity with Grasshopper or other parametric modeling workflows is a strong plus.
• Ability to develop realistic, challenging Rhino tasks that represent actual professional modeling and design activities.
• Ability to prepare the required software environment, including Rhino installation or access, source models, reference images, plugins, and other necessary assets.
• A shareable professional portfolio is required, demonstrating 3D models, surface designs, industrial products, architectural geometry, or professional design packages.
• Strong attention to detail when evaluating geometry, surface continuity, naked edges, model tolerance, topology, and export integrity.
• Comfortable recording computer-based modeling workflows and managing technical project files.
• Reliable, self-directed, and capable of working independently in a remote contractor environment.
• English proficiency is not mandatory. Applicants from all language backgrounds are welcome.
• Previous experience with technical demonstrations, modeling tutorials, workflow documentation, or AI data training is a plus.

🌍 Geographic Availability This role is available to qualified experts globally. However, as a U.S.-based company, SME Careers complies with U.S. export control and sanctions regulations. Eligibility depends on your country of residence and any applicable trade restrictions. Some projects may have additional language or region-specific requirements.

💰 Pay Rate May Vary Based on Your Location Your actual compensation will be determined based on your location and local market conditions. See regional job listings for localized pay information, or the application process will clarify your specific rate.
