• 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.
