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 AutoCAD expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by teaching them how real users complete practical drafting, documentation, and CAD workflows on a computer.

  • English proficiency at B2 level or higher to understand project instructions, document tasks clearly, and communicate with the project team.
  • Comfortable using a computer, managing files, installing/opening required programs, navigating software interfaces, and recording workflows.
  • Ability to come up with realistic and challenging AutoCAD tasks that reflect actual drafting, design, documentation, engineering, architecture, or technical drawing use cases.
  • Strong understanding of AutoCAD basics such as model space, paper space, layers, lineweights, blocks, dimensions, annotations, layouts, viewports, and plotting.
  • Ability to ensure your setup supports the task, including having AutoCAD installed, files available, templates/assets prepared, and any required references ready before recording.
  • High attention to detail when preparing the task, executing the workflow, and checking that the recording is complete and understandable.
  • Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
  • Additional professional skills are appreciated, including architecture, engineering, drafting, construction documentation, design, sales, administration, coding, operations, or other computer-based workflows.

Key responsibilities

  • Create realistic AutoCAD tasks: Come up with realistic and challenging tasks that can be executed on the computer using AutoCAD, then document the task clearly in SuperAnnotate.
  • Prepare the work environment: Ensure your setup supports the task, including having AutoCAD installed, files available, drawings/templates prepared, and any necessary references ready before recording.
  • Record task execution: Record yourself executing the AutoCAD task on your computer while following project instructions and ensuring the workflow is clear, complete, and realistic.
  • Document task context: Provide enough task context, steps, goals, files, and notes so reviewers can understand what the task is and how it was completed.
  • Demonstrate practical software use: Complete workflows involving drafting, layers, dimensions, blocks, layouts, plotting, annotations, xrefs, or drawing cleanup where relevant.
  • Maintain submission quality: Review your recording and documentation before submission to ensure the task is complete, understandable, realistic, and aligned with project guidelines.
