• Experience developing or utilizing process evaluation rubrics for quality assurance or training contexts
• Teaching experience in manufacturing or technical instruction is highly preferred

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.CAM tool path and strategy evaluation

   AI reasoning about tool paths, feeds, and speeds directly impacts whether generated recommendations are production-viable

   For example: “An AI system recommends a climbing mill pass for aluminum at 5000 RPM with 0.15 inch per tooth feed on a 0.5 inch end mill. Assess whether this strategy is sound, and explain what adjustments would make it safer and more efficient.”

2. 2.Manufacturing process constraint reasoning

   Robust rubrics teach AI to respect hard constraints like tool deflection, spindle power, and surface finish requirements

   For example: “Design a rubric for evaluating AI recommendations on CNC drill cycles for hardened steel. What factors would your rubric score, and how would you weight them?”

3. 3.Fusion 360 CAM feature application

   AI that understands feature selection, adaptive strategies, and tool library logic can generate more realistic machining workflows

   For example: “You are creating a Fusion 360 CAM task for AI training involving a multi-cavity mold insert. Describe the strategies, tool selections, and parameter choices you would use, and what AI should learn from this example.”

4. 4.Production feasibility judgment

   AI must learn to distinguish between mathematically optimal and practically feasible manufacturing solutions

   For example: “An AI model recommends a 0.001 inch surface finish on a production cast part. Explain why this is unrealistic and what a production-grade specification should be.”

5. 5.Rubric consistency and bias detection

   Inconsistent or biased rubrics teach AI systems noise; SME accountability ensures fair, repeatable evaluation

   For example: “You notice two peer SMEs scoring similar AI recommendations differently on tool selection criteria. How would you approach alignment and what evidence would you use to settle a disagreement?”

A task you may get

Evaluate an AI-generated Fusion 360 CAM tool path for a moderately complex part, identify technical gaps in strategy or parameter selection, develop a detailed scoring rubric for this task, and explain how your rubric guides AI improvement.

How to prepare

• Document your most complex or innovative CNC machining project, including tool selections, feed rates, and optimization decisions
• Review rubric design best practices from technical certifications, manufacturing standards, or academic assessment frameworks
• Collect 3-5 real Fusion 360 CAM setups and document the reasoning behind each feature and parameter choice
• Prepare examples of common AI misunderstandings about manufacturing constraints or tool selection logic
