Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

Scope of Work

• Analyze and interpret product requirements to design robust, manufacturable multi-part assemblies using advanced parametric CAD tools.
• Demonstrate design intent and assembly reasoning by making critical decisions on architecture, component placement, and tolerance stack-ups.
• Document design rationales, best practices, and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) considerations to guide AI learning workflows.
• Create, annotate, and optimize 3D models and assemblies that exemplify expert-level CAD methodologies.
• Review and critique sample designs, providing detailed feedback on modeling strategies and design feasibility.
• Collaborate asynchronously with the project team, responding to queries and clarifying complex design decisions in clear written and verbal communication.
• Contribute educational insights or mentoring content based on your CAD expertise to improve project deliverables.

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years in professional CAD design, with responsibility for leading design decisions on complex assemblies, including architecture, mating strategies, tolerances, and DFM principles.
• Mastery of a major parametric CAD software package (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, Onshape, Solid Edge); familiarity with FreeCAD is a plus.
• Strong capability to articulate design logic, trade-offs, and assembly intent both in documentation and through interactive discussions.
• Experience mentoring, teaching, or enabling others in CAD design, formally or informally.
• A recognized CAD credential (e.g., CSWE/CSWP, Autodesk Certified Instructor/Expert Elite, ASME GDTP, SOLIDWORKS Champion) is highly valued and may substitute for a formal experience bar.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively in remote and asynchronous professional contexts.
• Attention to detail and commitment to delivering insightful, high-quality contributions.
