What the work involves
You work inside SolidWorks Premium the way you normally would — modelling parts, building assemblies and mates, running simulation studies, generating drawings — while capturing that work as screenshots and structured task records. The point is not to produce polished CAD deliverables for a client; it is to produce an accurate, legible trace of how a competent mechanical engineer actually uses the software: which feature tree operations you reach for, why you chose a swept boss over a loft, where the rebuild errors come from and how you resolve them. Tasks are typically defined by the platform and completed asynchronously, with screen captures and written rationale submitted together.
What the platform screens for
- Genuine daily use, not resume familiarity. Screeners probe for specifics — mate schemes on large assemblies, configuration and design table handling, drawing detailing standards, Simulation mesh and boundary-condition choices.
- Working access today. SolidWorks Premium must already be installed on your own Windows machine. No licences, VMs or hardware are provided, and there is no onboarding period to acquire them.
- Display capability. Screenshots must exceed 2.5 megapixels: either a single monitor at or above the listed thresholds (QHD, 4K, 2240×1400, 3440×1440 and similar), or two side-by-side 1080p+ monitors captured as one spanning image.
- Explanatory clarity. You will be asked to say why a modelling decision was made, not just that it was made.
Logistics
Fully remote and largely asynchronous. Hours are flexible and typically part-time — most contributors work in blocks around existing engineering employment. Pay in this band has been observed at $45–55/hr; rates are set per project by the platform and are not guaranteed. Expect an AI-led screening interview before any task access, covering background, tooling depth, and a hard confirmation of your software and display setup.
