Key responsibilities
Create realistic Rhino tasks: Develop professional 3D modeling challenges and document the task objectives and context.
Prepare the work environment: Ensure Rhino, required models, reference drawings, plugins, and supporting assets are available before recording.
Record task execution: Capture the steps involved in completing the Rhino task on your computer.
Demonstrate professional modeling: Perform workflows involving NURBS surfaces, curves, solids, Boolean operations, model repairs, complex geometry, and design refinements.
Document task context: Explain the intended model, source geometry, design constraints, and expected deliverable.
Validate geometry: Check surface continuity, object integrity, units, tolerances, and downstream compatibility.
Maintain submission quality: Ensure recordings, project files, and model outputs follow project guidelines.
Your profile
3+ years of professional experience using Rhino in industrial design, product development, architecture, engineering, jewelry design, or related 3D modeling work.
Strong proficiency in McNeel Rhinoceros 3D, including NURBS curves and surfaces, solids, Boolean operations, surface continuity, object organization, and geometry editing.
Professional experience in commercial/industrial design, architecture, product design, mechanical design, or related creative engineering fields is preferred.
Strong understanding of 3D geometry, tolerances, surface quality, topology, model organization, scaling, and export formats.
Experience with complex surface creation, trimming, joining, rebuilding, blending, filleting, or repairing imported models.
Familiarity with Grasshopper or other parametric modeling workflows is a strong plus.
Ability to develop realistic, challenging Rhino tasks that represent actual professional modeling and design activities.
Ability to prepare the required software environment, including Rhino installation or access, source models, reference images, plugins, and other necessary assets.
A shareable professional portfolio is required, demonstrating 3D models, surface designs, industrial products, architectural geometry, or professional design packages.
Strong attention to detail when evaluating geometry, surface continuity, naked edges, model tolerance, topology, and export integrity.
Comfortable recording computer-based modeling workflows and managing technical project files.
Reliable, self-directed, and capable of working independently in a remote contractor environment.
English proficiency is not mandatory. Applicants from all language backgrounds are welcome.
Previous experience with technical demonstrations, modeling tutorials, workflow documentation, or AI data training is a plus.
