Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for skilled LibreCAD and QCAD CE users to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with 2D technical drafting, industrial schematics, or manufacturing blueprints to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand technical drafting tasks and manufacturing workflows.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.

Who This Is For

This is a good fit if you're an experienced LibreCAD or QCAD CE user who has worked in or around roles like:

• Manufacturing Engineer or Mechanical Drafter
• CNC Programmer or Industrial Designer
• Technical Illustrator or CAD Drafter

You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:

• 2D technical drafting, industrial schematics, or manufacturing blueprints using LibreCAD or QCAD CE
• CNC programming, DXF/DWG workflows, or AutoCAD-compatible drafting
• Annotating or labeling technical drawings and manufacturing assets
• Reviewing technical drafts for accuracy, tolerancing, or design consistency

What You'll Do

You'll use your experience with LibreCAD or QCAD CE to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world technical drafting and manufacturing workflows.

No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

We're looking for people who have:

• At least 3+ years of hands-on experience with LibreCAD or QCAD CE, whether through professional work or freelance projects
• A working knowledge of 2D technical drafting concepts, mechanical schematics, and manufacturing workflows
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
• The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines

Application Process

• Create a Handshake account
• Upload your resume and verify your identity
• Get matched and onboarded into relevant projects
• Start working and earning

Work Model and Project Details

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)
• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer
• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
