Role Description

Handshake is looking for skilled FreeCAD BIM/IFC 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 parametric 3D building modeling, IFC data management, or BIM coordination to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand computational design tasks and AEC workflows.

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

Who This Is For

• Experienced FreeCAD BIM/IFC user
• Roles that may fit include:
  • Computational Designer or BIM Coordinator
  • Structural Engineer or Revit Specialist
  • BIM Facilitator or Digital Delivery Manager
• Solid experience with one or more of the following:
  • Parametric 3D building modeling or IFC data management using FreeCAD BIM/IFC
  • BIM coordination, building data workflows, or ArchiCAD and Revit workflows
  • Annotating or labeling BIM models and AEC data assets
  • Reviewing parametric models for accuracy, data integrity, or design consistency

What You'll Do

• Create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world computational design and BIM coordination workflows.
• No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

• At least 3+ years of hands-on experience with FreeCAD BIM/IFC, whether through professional work or freelance projects
• A working knowledge of parametric modeling, IFC standards, and BIM coordination 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

Work Authorization

• F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible for projects on Handshake AI. Work with your Designated School Official to determine your eligibility.
• If your school requires a CPT course, Handshake AI may not meet your school's requirements.
• STEM OPT is not supported. See our Help Center article for more information on what types of work authorizations are supported on Handshake AI.
