Autodesk Inventor Specialist
up to $100/hr
About this role, in micro1's words
micro1 is engaging Autodesk Inventor Specialists to contribute to a customer-focused project involving advanced mechanical design. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
What you'll do
Scope of Work
- Develop fully-parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies based on detailed written briefs using Autodesk Inventor (or comparable platforms).
- Edit and update existing models to reflect revised requirements, ensuring all changes remain fully parametric and in line with best practices.
- Audit and review CAD models for compliance with dimensional, tolerance, and manufacturability criteria, identifying and documenting any gaps or issues.

- Create and interpret detailed technical drawings, applying ASME Y14.5 or equivalent GD&T standards.
- Ensure robust Design for Manufacturability (DFM) considerations across processes such as injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining, and casting/forging.
- Support AI training initiatives by providing clear documentation and rationale for design decisions, edits, and audits.
- Communicate effectively in written and verbal formats, delivering precise feedback and solution-oriented insights to project stakeholders.
Candidate background
Preferred Qualifications
- Minimum 4 years of hands-on parametric modeling experience for edit-level tasks; 10+ years for complex creation work.
- Expertise in Autodesk Inventor, with fluency in similar platforms like FreeCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360 considered highly relevant.
- Demonstrated proficiency with GD&T (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent), with practical, real-world application.
Show all 7 itemsHide the other 4 in Preferred Qualifications
- Proven DFM experience covering at least two to three manufacturing processes (e.g., injection molding, sheet metal, CNC, casting).
- Experience with reverse engineering workflows, such as scan-to-CAD or point cloud-to-model reconstruction.
- Ability to manage assembly-level designs and complex mechanical systems, not just single-part modeling.
- Familiarity with CAD automation, scripting (Python, iLogic, VBA, NX Open), or similar tools for enhancing workflow efficiency.

Working with micro1Pay, getting started and work, from micro1's own pages
What the platform publishes in general. These are not extra terms confirmed for this particular role.
- Getting paid
- Paid in US dollars twice a month through Deel, usually landing around the 5th and the 20th. Nothing is paid until Deel's identity check is done. library.micro1.ai/working/faqs, library.micro1.ai/working/payroll-policy
- Before your first paid task
- An AI interview with micro1's recruiter Zara, then your profile, ID verification, a KarmaCheck background check and the Deel contract. Some pipelines add a quiz or test task. micro1.ai/experts, micro1.ai/ai-interview-guide, library.micro1.ai/getting-started/next-steps-after-certif..., library.micro1.ai/working/faqs, library.micro1.ai/working/what-to-expect
- How much work
- Certification makes you eligible but does not guarantee placement. micro1's FAQ puts the usual commitment at about 15 to 20 hours a week, depending on the client. micro1.ai/experts, library.micro1.ai/working/faqs
- Contract
- Independent contractor, with the contract issued through Deel. library.micro1.ai/policies/understanding-your-expert-agre..., library.micro1.ai/working/deel

Alex's experience on micro1A personal account, not a promise about your project
Alexruns this site and has worked on micro1 himself. Written 31 Aug 2026.
- Every interview I took used an AI interviewer, and some included a timed business exercise of around 25 minutes.
- On later applications, interview reuse on micro1 was often partial, and I still answered questions about one to three additional skills.
- I entered a requested rate for the job. One listing showed about $180 an hour. I requested about $160 and received the rate I entered. Those amounts are approximate, and this describes my application, not proof that a lower request caused acceptance.
- Onboarding and setup came to about 2 hours, with clear materials. Of the three platforms I worked on, it was the easiest transition into work. That is an estimate from my projects, not a platform average.
- On my micro1 project, Hubstaff showed time and mouse or keyboard activity, not screenshots, app names or website history. That describes what I saw, not every possible setup.
- I was paid for hours logged, once every 14 days, and I have not experienced late or incorrect payments. That was my arrangement.
One person's applications, not a promise about yours.
