CAD Engineer — ScreenSpot Plus (Screenshot Capture & UI Annotation)

About the Role

You've been selected for ScreenSpot Plus, where you'll capture screenshots of professional CAD software in realistic, expert use, annotate interactive UI elements, and write natural-language task instructions.

The project begins with a pilot phase, during which your initial submissions will be closely reviewed for quality before you ramp into full production. Detailed onboarding materials and capture guidelines will be shared once you accept.

What You'll Do

• Capture high-quality screenshots of professional CAD software during realistic, expert workflows

• Annotate interactive UI elements (buttons, menus, panels, toolbars, dialogs) accurately and consistently

• Write clear, natural-language task instructions that reflect how an expert actually uses the software

• Iterate on feedback during the pilot phase to meet quality standards before scaling to full production

Who We're Looking For

• Hands-on, professional experience with CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, Revit, Siemens NX, or similar)

• Strong working knowledge of the day-to-day workflows and interface of your CAD tools

• Attention to detail and the ability to follow precise annotation and capture guidelines

• Clear written English for task instructions

• Reliable access to the relevant CAD software for capturing screenshots

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
