What you'll do

This is the 2D drafting member of Mercor's mechanical-design group, alongside SolidWorks Premium and Inventor Professional. AutoCAD Mechanical is the version of AutoCAD built for mechanical drafting and detailing to engineering standards, with standard parts libraries, dimensioning tools and BOM support. The named audience is mechanical designers, drafters, and manufacturing and tooling engineers.

The ad describes no tasks. It requires AutoCAD Mechanical installed on your own Windows PC, openable today, and a display that captures high-resolution screenshots. The format suggests capturing genuine drafting workflows for training AI agents that operate CAD software, but the ad does not state this; ask at screening.

Note that the title omits "on Windows", but the body specifies a Windows PC, so treat Windows as required. The ad also names the Mechanical toolset rather than plain AutoCAD; if you only use base AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT, you may not match.

Who fits

• AutoCAD Mechanical on your own Windows PC; no licence, VM or hardware from Mercor
• Hands-on 2D mechanical drafting and detailing to standards
• A capture setup above 2.5 megapixels: a single 1440p-class monitor or better (or equivalent 16:10, 3:2 or ultrawide), or two 1080p-plus monitors spanned together

No degree, years or country requirement is stated.

What it pays

$45–55 per hour, identical to Mercor's SolidWorks Premium and Inventor Professional listings, so 3D modellers are not paid a premium over 2D drafters here.

Weekly payment on Stripe or Wise, based on services rendered.

Worth knowing

Good:

• Drafting skill is paid at the same rate as 3D CAD in this family
• Remote and self-scheduled; weekly pay published
• No hires were shown yet when we read it, so the pool may be small

Less good:

• The Autodesk subscription that includes the Mechanical toolset is a significant personal cost
• No signal of work volume yet
• Tasks, hours and duration are not described; projects can be extended, shortened or ended early
• H-1B and STEM OPT candidates excluded; independent contractor terms
