Engineering • Hourly Contract • Remote • $0-$100/hour

Mercor is supporting a high-priority data collection initiative aimed at improving how AI systems understand complex software interfaces and multi-step workflows in CAD and engineering tools.

You will record narrated screen sessions and annotate screenshots from professional software environments following structured task guidelines.

What You'll Do

• Record screen sessions demonstrating specific CAD and engineering tasks with clear narration.
• Annotate screenshots by drawing precise bounding boxes around relevant UI elements.
• Follow staging instructions to set up specific UI states before capture.
• Use the custom capture tool and adhere closely to data-quality guidelines.

Who You Are

• Strong familiarity with tools such as AutoCAD Mechanical, SolidWorks, Inventor, and Vivado.
• Detail-oriented and able to follow precise instructions consistently.
• Comfortable working independently and meeting tight deadlines.
• Have access to a physical Mac and can create a fresh macOS user profile if required.

What Success Looks Like

• Annotations are precise, consistent, and aligned with guidelines.
• Screen recordings capture realistic, expert workflows end-to-end.
• Tasks are completed efficiently while maintaining high quality.
• Collected data is usable at scale for AI research and development.

If you enjoy hands-on CAD workflows and want to help train frontier AI systems, this project is a strong fit.
