Job summary

Cashback24x7 is looking for a Computational CAD Engineer (OpenSCAD) on a contract basis, remote. You will apply advanced scripting to generate parametric 2D and 3D models, supporting AI-driven design data workflows.

You will develop, document, and optimize OpenSCAD scripts, transform sketches into production-ready designs, and collaborate with data and AI teams to explain modeling decisions.

Qualifications

• Deep, hands-on experience and proficiency in OpenSCAD (required; experience in other CAD systems is not sufficient).
• Strong command of OpenSCAD syntax, constants, operators, special variables, and modifier characters.
• Demonstrated expertise with 2D and 3D object creation, transformations, and boolean operations.
• Experience using advanced OpenSCAD features: lists, list comprehensions, flow control, and type test functions.
• Fluent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts.
• Ability to iterate from concept to finished design with a focus on code clarity and model accuracy.

Responsibilities

• Develop, document, and optimize OpenSCAD scripts for both simple and complex CAD models.
• Transform conceptual sketches into detailed, production-ready designs.
• Utilize advanced OpenSCAD tools, including Boolean operations, list comprehensions, and flow control, to create diverse geometries.
• Employ techniques like linear_extrude, rotate_extrude, and minkowski to construct innovative 3D forms.
• Build up 3D shapes from 2D shadows and efficiently place basic forms (cuboids, spheres, cylinders, cones) within the design space.
• Design and implement repeatable components using nesting and loop constructs.
• Collaborate closely with data and AI teams, providing clear written and verbal communication about design logic, syntax, and modeling decisions.
